Today, #COHESA co-organized a media café workshop, bringing together media personnel and #OneHealth stakeholders in Rwanda. We're introducing the concept of One Health through the COHESA project to enhance awareness and drive impactful public health communication.

During the workshop, insights from key informant interviews and focus group discussions illuminated the challenges facing #OneHealth in Rwanda. These findings will inform efforts to promote a holistic approach to health & wellbeing. Stay tuned for updates on our progress! #COHESA

The project Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa is co-funded by the OACPS Research and Innovation Programme, a programme implemented by the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific states (OACPS) with the financial support of the European Union #COHESA

Love how the hypocrisy of #Europe on #GMOs is being deconstructed during Prof.Montagu's birthday celebration put together by the IPBO & Plant Biotechnology & Breeding Network team! Great insights on the birthday boy's contribution to #plantbiotech . His passion & vision for plant science stands tall!

Cassava is an important food security crop. Sadly, we are losing it to two devastating viral diseases. Fortunately, #FarmShujaaz like Prof Douglas Miano from University of Nairobi is leading #Kenyan scientists towards a solution. We celebrate you on this #MashujaaDay bitly.ws/XTHx

On this #MashujaaDay , we celebrate Kipchumba, a cotton farmer from Baringo, and several progressive farmers like him. Bernard was among the first to plant #biotech cotton in #Kenya and has paved way for others. He is among the #FarmShujaaz working to revive our textile industry!

This is quite emotional
