Nineteen years ago today, an email from AGRA landed in my inbox announcing approval of a US$5 million seed grant to establish WACCI at the University of Ghana.
Today, WACCI has trained 120 PhD plant breeders and 70 seed scientists from 19 African countries. Our alumni have helped release 400 improved crop varieties and attracted over US$100 million in R&D funding.
More importantly, we have shown that Africa can build world class scientific institutions and talent for Africa’s development.
As we celebrate WACCI’s 19th Anniversary during the VACS Capacity Hub Project Workshop, we look ahead to WACCI 3.0 and the next generation of African scientific leaders.
Nineteen years ago, we planted a seed. Today, it is bearing fruit across Africa.
Happy 19th Anniversary, WACCI.
