Maputo

To us Sere’s legacy brought ILRI to the southern Africa region five years ago when I left Nairobi to set up an office in Maputo. I was alone for some years and had to think of means of enhancing visibility. That is when we established the ILRI Champions group. Manuel Filipe joined us in 2007-2009 and then Saskia came in December 2010..

On a lighter note: Two years on we had the CGIAR 2008 AGM. Liz Ogutu and Susan McMillan can talk about the heat which had everyone sweating and experiencing a free sauna. A big ILRI team landed in Maputo led by Sere. We had the best fish and prawns at the fish market.
