9/12/ /12/ Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa Dr. Barrack Okoba, Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) Kenya “The most significant change that has taken place in our work as a result of the AfricaAdapt intervention is change of mind set regarding climate change issues and enhanced confidence that we can help people successfully adapt to climate change”.

9/12/ /12/ Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa Dr. Maria Onyango, Senior Lecturer, Bondo University College of Maseno University, Kenya “I have been able to get information particularly pertaining to climate change policies and projects, and concerns from other parts of Africa from AfricaAdapt website. The knowledge has been very instrumental to me in writing developmental papers, identifying information gaps. I think AfricaAdapt is a very useful platform for exchange of knowledge and networking with other like-minded people”
