@ASARECA ED Dr. Enock Warinda to experts from National Agricultural Research Systems: We are cognizant that underlying gender norms continue to limit the space for women & youth adoption of CSA technologies. What can we do differently to break-out of this predicament?
We need action: Despite existence of policy makers the effects of climate change continue to impact women who comprise majority of smallholder farmers in ECA. Millions of farmers are starving and are getting poorer—Dr. Enock Warinda challenges African experts in opening address.

My friend @schipper_lisa's email signature reads "I work with nice people only". I love it. Let's all draw that line. Drawing that line will be the first step towards recovering from work-related traumas that most of us have suffered at one point or the other.
