The Zayed Sustainability Prize’s ‘Food Category’ is open to small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and non-profits (NPOs) with the winner receiving US$600,000 to develop their solution or service. I, therefore, congratulate Okuafo Foundation on its winning solution and also for becoming the first recipient from Ghana to win a Zayed Sustainability Prize. In the Global High Schools category, the number of people impacted by the Global High School winners is approximately 400,000.
