The project kicked-off in October 2012 with the launch of a logo competition for students from the two African Institutions. The competition was won by Ms. Mercy Yeboah Agyei, a Level 400 student of the University of Ghana majoring in Geography and Resource Development, who received a prize of USD 200 for her logo design. The winning logo has since been adapted by the project as the logo for the partnership program.
