Absence of screening centers for medicinal and nutritional plants used locally has propelled Dr Daniel Motlhanka, a senior lecturer at the Botswana College of Agriculture to channel his research knowledge towards establishing a screening centre for such plants as well as nutritional food plants by 2014.

Motlhanka is a pharmacognosist by training and it was this research topic that secured him a place at the Leadership Development Fellowship, a World Health Organisation (WHO) programme.

He received a grant of $41,100 (approximately P246,600) aimed at enhancing his leadership skills for better research in this field.
