Motivation/Commitment to the GSC 

I am a strong and ardent communicator. Consequently, I will participate in decision making of the global steering committee, gather and communicating action items, follow up to ensure that actions are taken appropriately, and monitor the progress. I will regularly attend Steering Committee Meetings and allocate 2-3 hours per week on the GSC activities. I will raise awareness about SuSanA 2.0 in order to attract more in-country and regional members. I will raise awareness about the materials developed by SuSanA 2.0 steering committee or their members to in-country and regional (SSA) members for uptake.

Is there anything else you would like to say to the SuSanA community?

To the SuSanA community, there is a lot to do; we are lagging behind as a result of disruptions by climate change, COVID-19 and the war between Russia and Ukraine. We need to work harder because the SDG deadline is just around the corner. Together, we shall deliver to humanity and improve our mother nature.
