Special Mentions:

A special mention goes to Ramsey Njema, from the University of Malawi, Chancellor College, whose submission narrowly missed the prize.

Special mention goes also to Precious Mbewe Msonda and Mapopa Gota - both have made interim submissions but are outside of the country at the moment, hence were not able to present their work and attend the networking event. Both's work were of a high standard.

Here are the documentations and some of the analysis files of the top submissions:
