The purpose of this RACAs was to promote cooperation and facilitate mutual exchange of information and expertise in the field of rural finance. Some background research into AFRACA unearths a number of gems that indicate that you have been at the forefront in driving the Rural and Agricultural Finance Agenda in Africa.
You have had, and continue to have, a strong desire to turn regional diversity into a powerful driving force and catalyst for exchange, capacity building and cooperation to promote rural finance. I am deeply honoured to be part of this campaign to revolutionize finance for African Agriculture.
