Earlier today, ONE’s Nora Coghlan wrote in about an exciting visit that the folks on the OCC trip made to the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI).
Turns out, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is headed there, too! In a press briefing yesterday, Ambassador Johnnie Carson mentioned that while in Kenya, Secretary Clinton would be visiting KARI, one of the “premier agricultural research institutes in Africa” (and a grantee of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Carson said that the visit would allow Secretary Clinton to meet with many world-class African scientists and would allow her to talk about and promote the Administration’s emerging food security initiative announced at the L’Aquila Summit in Italy. We’ll keep you posted with more details.
