Elivis Omoit is currently serving as the Head of the CIFOR / YIL Sub-Commission under the Partner’s Commission. This is Elivis’ first term as an official and he has done an outstanding work in this short duration. His work in organising the delegation for GLF Amazonia is commendable. He has gone beyond his responsibilities as an official under the External Council to assist the Membership Council with activities in the South African region. We would like to acknowledge his contributions towards IFSA by awarding him with the title of the ‘Official of the Month’.
