	for us a way to highlight the importance of the civil society and
	government's contribution to the growth of our local community. We are
	at a stage where we need to build a more coherent and strong

	this award is a tribute to my work and contribution at the regional
	level, a great recognition from my role model and peers in the region.
	I have been dedicated to creating awareness and understanding in order
	to ensure that our region contributes meaningfully in global internet
	governance and policy processes and hope to continue to do so as
	internet governance becomes more and more significant." says Alice
	Munyua.
