One Planet Africa appoints Ambassador Stith to board
Stith served as the United States Ambassador to Tanzania during the Clinton Administration. He is widely known for guiding the embassy during the tumultuous period which followed its bombing in 1998. Stith is currently chairman of The Pula Group, a holding company dealing in real estate and mining in Africa. He is also a member of the Africa advisory group to the US Trade Representative.
"Ambassador Stith combines considerable diplomatic and business experience in sub-Saharan Africa. His involvement in One Planet Africa will be critical to our success in the region," One Planet Africa's chairman, John Wood, said.
Ambassador Stith commented: "I'm honoured to have been extended this appointment. One Planet Africa is the right company at the right time to assist Africa in dealing with energy production, one of its most serious challenges. Energy is destiny for the continent of Africa. Without it the continent can't develop, but with it there is no obstacle it can't overcome. And renewable energy is the cleanest and most cost effective way for Africa to meet this challenge."
