Message from the Director General of CARI, Dr. Arthur Bob Karnuah
As 2024 draws to an end for CARI, I find myself reflecting on a truly momentous five months we've had to close out the year. As you all remember, I was inducted into office as the Director General of CARI on August 8, 2024. It has been 5 months of rededication, renewal, commitment, and above all, resolve. We launched a bold new strategy called One Work Force to shape the next chapter of the CARI story, focusing on delivering workable and possible solutions to address the urgent challenges facing CARI as a research institution.
