What an incredible honour it was to be part of the prestigious @IGADLeadership in the scenic coastal city of Mombasa, the Academy brought together vibrant, passionate and promising group of young leaders across the @IGADsecretariat member states. It was an inspiring experience.
On the fourth day of training, participants teamed up in country groups to present their action plans and key messages for driving change back home. Backed by the facilitators, the participants also committed to excellence in their leadership journey.

Heavy downpour in Juba this morning. I am glad that the amount of plastic bottles being washed away is minimal. My next challenge is the single use plastic bags. Let’s get rid of them too. #SSOX
