Liya Dejene from CKM has been appointed as the 2015-2016 Communications Fellow at the Consortium Office. She starts on 1 October, for one year joining the Consortium Office Strategy team.

She joins Metasebia and Benjamin – both ICT fellows – in bringing ILRI expertise to Montpellier.

The Consortium Communications Fellowship is going into its third year. The position is conceived as a rotational assignment. The concept is for a win-win situation whereby the Consortium benefits from additional expertise and contextual knowledge of center operations through the placement of a center staff member, and the center staff and the originating center benefit from a deeper understanding of CGIAR Consortium policy and procedures.

She will remain an ILRI staff member during the coming year.
