RIAP Award Recipient benefits from Canadian experience

According to Eksi Edwards: "Like IICA, the 4H program focus mainly on agricultural development, rural well-being and the involvement of youths in agriculture. While global warming is upon us, there is a lot to be achieved by allowing these two organisations to work together since the both are working on the UN sustainable development goals".
