News from a 2009 LRT fellow

Jafaru Adam Musah from Ghana was a LRT fellow in 2009. He has taken on many new responsibilities in his work since returning from Iceland.  One is the “Ghana Environmental Management Project” (GEMP). GEMP’s prime objective is to assist communities to identify local and community-based activities that can help mitigating desertification and drought.  Jafaru says that the training he got during the LRT programme has given him good skills for such a work and has motivated him to participate in such projects.
