It is with mixed emotions that we announce that NGI’s CEO, Dr. Steven Were Omamo, is stepping away from NGI to take on the role of Director of Development Strategy and Governance at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Dr. Omamo will start with IFPRI on 07 October 2024. He will be based on Nairobi from where he will lead a global team of 178 staff. We wish Dr. Omamo the very best as he returns to IFPRI in this exciting role. NGI’s work will continue under the leadership of Director, Dr. Cheryl Richardson.
