Meut Dakta Mark wins

Описание: Meut Dakta Mark was filled with joy and gratitude after winning first place in the Radio category at the 2025 OFAB Media Awards Africa. He described the recognition as unexpected but deeply motivating, reflecting on the long journey that led him to this moment.

For Mark, the award is not just a celebration but a reminder of the power of storytelling in helping the public understand biotechnology and its role in strengthening agriculture, which he calls the backbone of Kenya and the African continent.

Mark emphasized the responsibility of journalists to use their platforms to educate communities, counter misinformation and bring scientific expertise to the public in clear and accessible ways. He urged media practitioners across Africa to work closely with scientists and experts to ensure accurate reporting and to help shift outdated narratives around biotechnology.

He expressed appreciation to OFAB, AATF and all partners for creating a platform that supports credible science communication. With continued commitment to fact-based reporting, Mark believes Africa can rise stronger through technology, awareness and informed public dialogue.
