Dear all,

I have the pleasure to announce two new coordinators:

 

Ismael Thiam served for several years as vice AFROFOODS coordinator. I would like to thank him for his valuable support during all these years, especially for having initiated the West African Food Composition Table. These are great achievements and he will always be remembered for that.

 

 

Angela Kimani from Kenya will become the new AFROFOODS coordinator. She was key in getting the Kenyan FCT updated which will be published in early 2018. I expect her to help other African countries to update their food composition table. I warmly welcome her. I am sure she will be actively assisting Henrietta and the other subregional coordinators in Africa.

 

George Annor moved to the USA recently to take over new responsibilities. I would like to thank him deeply for all his engagement and work done for INFOODS and AFROFOODS in West Africa. It was a real pleasure to work with him on the development of the West African Food Composition Table, the trainings we did together or he and Henrietta delivered together. I am sure that we will continue working together on food composition also in the future.

 

Ella Compaore from Burkina Faso will take over the WAFOODS coordinator position. She has also contributed a lot to the development of the update of the West African FCT. I warmly welcome her and I am sure she will do a good work.

 

Thank you again for all your support and a welcome to those who took over the positions. I wish them much success. Their email are in cc in case someone wishes to send them a private mail.

 

Best wishes

Ruth
