Quote from the interview

What has been your favourite part of the programme and why?

“I liked the networking. I must say that must have been the biggest win for me. First of all even within my country we were able to work as a team with people from different areas in the energy sector, very knowledgeable people, very influential as well. And just interacting with them, I learned a lot from them, from what they do. It gave me a much broader perspective in the energy spectrum. Not only in Kenya, but also from the other countries. I have met people from other countries in Africa and also in Sweden and that is something that I can never replace.”
