Entry: Charlie Feezel, World Cocoa Foundation

The World Cocoa Foundation hosted a luncheon for Dr. Sarah Moten on April 12, 2010 to celebrate her retirement from ten years with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in the Bureau for Africa. Dr. Moten joined USAID as the Coordinator for the Education for Development and Democracy Initiative (EDDI), a three-agency organization composed of USAID, the U.S. Department of State and the Peace Corps. She managed the affairs of EDDI and later became the Chief of the Education Division of the Africa Bureau. In that position, she managed the Africa Education Initiative and was instrumental in launching the ECHOES program as a public-private partnership between USAID and the World Cocoa Foundation to expand opportunities for rural youth through relevant education in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Over the years, she has become a valued colleague and strong supporter of WCF efforts in strengthening education capacity in rural Africa. We thank Dr. Moten for her support and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
