Richard Mkandawire played a leading role in convincing African governments and the international community that Africa has the ability and political will to start a green revolution. He drove the adoption of NEPAD's Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme. The quiet yet determined resolve of this highly respected Malawian agricultural economist has a far reaching impact. It's driving lasting change for the benefit of poor people in many countries across the region, by transforming agricultural production.
Professor Mkandawire was named the 2008 Driver of Change in the individual category.
