ANAFE in partnership with the Finish supported FoodAfrica programme implemented by various CGIAR Center including ICRAF, is conducting a training workshop for educators and researchers on “Effective communication with users of knowledge” from 13th to 16th October 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya. Educators, researchers and institutions in Africa with effective skills to effectively communicate with users of knowledge are encouraged to apply.
