3.      Briefly explain how you benefited from the experience during the 2013 July conference
The IHAV conference has indeed opened way for greater opportunities for me, I am currently enrolled in an online International Post harvest training so that I can be better positioned to handle our group project of reducing post-harvest losses with ICT tools in Africa, an opportunity I won’t have gotten were it not for the conference.

I have been able to follow up my team mates to further discuss our project via social networks.
