In collaboration with Seacrest Technology, we embarked on a comprehensive project in 2017 for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), aimed at redesigning and maintaining online resources for the prestigious AGRF (Alliance for a Green Revolution Forum) forum and AFP (Africa Food Prize). The Africa Food Prize recognizes exceptional individuals and institutions that lead transformative efforts in African farming, turning it from a struggle for survival into a thriving business. Our multifaceted engagement encompassed website assessment, online registration system implementation for the event, redesign proposal, website maintenance, technical support for live events, and much more.
