We are incredibly proud to be the first CGIAR Research Center with an African woman leader. Under her leadership, we are looking forward to putting over 2 billion USD worth of research we have produced collectively over the past 60 years to action towards solving the greatest challenges of our time.
For now, I hope you will enjoy this speech and I trust you will soon have the opportunity to meet in person.
With thanks and best wishes on behalf of CIFOR-ICRAF and the GLF,
