It was intended to foster ways of integrating the long-term scientific information of vari¬ous paleo studies in eastern Africa from the last six decades to address future environ¬mental challenges in the region. In addition, the workshop was meant to integrate the rich paleo information into practical applications to address the social and environmental challenges affecting the region.
