It has been a great run, steering this project since its inception! We had the ACE II National Steering Committee (NSC) visit today to appraise the JOOUST ACE II InseFoods on the project implementation sustainability measures and centers for closure and exit of the project.

During the meeting, the team also discussed the sustainability of the three ACE II Centres post World Bank ACE II Project. The three Centres are JOOUST ACE II InseFoods, Egerton ACE II CECAAM, and Moi ACE II PTRE.

We are to host fellow Centers of Excellence II, National Steering Committee (NSC), at the JOOUST Center of Excellence in Sustainable Use of Insects for Food and Feeds (INSEFOODS) at the Main Campus.
