I participate in climapAfrica because it will provide good opportunities for young African Scientists to discuss and collaborate to solve a common African problem such as Food insecurity and Climate instability. It will create the environment to develop remarkable networks among German experts and next-generation African scientists to fight regional and global challenges of climate change
