“This is the first time I’ve attended the PSC meeting and, before I came here, I had a completely different perception of this project. I am glad to have attended this meeting because I now have a detailed understanding of the project.
Generally, I’m very impressed. After only year, the project has already produced certain products and the outreach is very good. Now that I understand the project, I will be in a better position to coordinate my country’s participation. I am going to set up an office in the Institute to facilitate Kenya’s participation in the ASCLME Project.”
