Bio
Maria-Goretti Ane Loglo
I have worked with Chamrid while he was the project coordinator at the West Africa Drug Policy network. Chamrid led two most successful initiatives - the successful restructuring and establishing the network legally in Ghana and coordinating the drug law reform process in Ghana with other partners. Apart from being efficient, organized and reliable, Chamrid proved very skillful in building trustful partnerships, and was a pleasure to work with.

During the time Chamrid was at Speak Up Africa, he was an attentive, reliable and enjoyable person to work with on a variety of projects - particularly his communications and advocacy work on immunization and malaria. His willingness to always offer help and support, and his tremendous project management skills made him a really valuable asset to to the team.
