This week was all about partnerships. In New York, I met with the Senate of the Ivory Coast and the Consulate General to discuss enhancing governance, leadership, and policy programs. Later in Washington, DC, I enjoyed a luncheon with Zoe Cooper Thomas, Omar Arouna, Kelfala Lebbie, Algene Sajery focused on "Partnership for Purpose & Impact." Hosted by Taa Wongbe, member of the Liberian Parliament, this discussion centered on best practices and innovative ideas to advance agricultural production & supplies chain, food security, and investment, among other topics. These exciting discussions and collaborative efforts are paving the way for meaningful progress and mutual growth.
