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.
