We were thrilled to have the chance to join Dr. Catherine and the other distinguished laureates of the 2022 and 2023 Al-Sumait Prizes in Kuwait. It was a truly special occasion to celebrate their remarkable contributions to sustainable development in Africa. Dr. Catherine’s work in Earth Observations and Agricultural Monitoring, alongside the 2022 laureate AATF and 2023 winner CAMFED - Campaign for Female Education, exemplifies the power of science in driving positive change. Congratulations to all, and here's to even greater impact ahead! #AfricanDevelopment #Sustainabledevelopmentgoals #EarthObservations #AgriculturalMonitoring #Impact #ScienceForChange
