The Savannah Young Farmers Network (SavaNet) congratulates
its Executive Director Moses Nganwani Tia following his award of a Washington
Fellowship for Young African Leaders; a flagship program of President Obama’s
Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).
As a Washington Fellow, Moses Nganwani Tia will receive a six
(6) week training on Civic Leadership at the University of California Berkeley
(the Goldman School of Public Policy) in the United States of America (USA).
After his academic residency at the University of California
Berkeley, Tia will join other fellows across Africa for a three day Washington fellow’s
summit to be hosted by President Obama. During this presidential summit, the
Washington fellows will have the opportunity to interact with US leaders in the
field of Business, government and the non-profit sector.
This flagship fellowship will also offer our Executive
Director professional development opportunities, a Networking platform and the
opportunity to give SavaNet a representation in several African countries.
Indeed the contribution of Moses Nganwani Tia to youth in
Agriculture Development in Ghana and Africa at large has been duly recognized
at the international level and we join him in celebrating this international
recognition.
As you share in Presidents Obama’s vision for the African
Continent, we are optimistic that your commitment to championing Africa’s
Agricultural development will be strengthen in order to enhance the continent’s
food security.
