2012 Tutu Fellow Dr. Andrew Mude has won the 2016 Norman Borlaug Award for Field Research and Application. He and his team are also receiving a USAID award for scientific excellence. The recognition is for their work developing the innovative use of satellite technology and community outreach to develop livestock insurance for vulnerable herding communities in the Horn of Africa. The program uses satellite data to help protect livestock herding communities in the Horn from the devastating effects of drought.
