Timeline
Melaku features in the film Seeds of Freedom which was released in June 2012, and features narration from Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons. The film was produced by The Gaia Foundation and the African Biodiversity Network, both organisations with whom Melaku has been a long term ally and worked alongside to lead a number of trainings with Field Officers working across Africa. Melaku has three children: Mary Worede, H/Mariam Melaku Worede and Lij Tedla Melaku Worede.
Also very active at the international level, Worede was the first chair of the African Committee for Plant and Genetic Resources and has been instrumental in the setting up of the African Biodiversity Network. He has served as chair of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Commission on Plant Genetic Resources and is currently a board member of (among others) the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) and the Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI). In 2008 the National Green Award Foundation, headed by the Ethiopian president, gave Worede the Outstanding International Contribution Award.
Melaku Worede was awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 1989 "for preserving Ethiopia's genetic wealth by building one of the finest seed conservation centres in the world."
Melaku travelled to the US in the 1960s to pursue post-graduate studies. After obtaining a PhD in Agronomy (Genetics and Breeding) from the University of Nebraska, he returned to Ethiopia and became involved in the planning of the Plant Genetic Resources Centre in Addis Ababa, of which he became Director in 1979. He held this post until his retirement in 1993 to join the Seeds of Survival Programme of Ethiopia, which he founded with the support of a consortium of Canadian NGOs led by the Unitarian Service Committee (USC/Canada).
Melaku Worede was born in 1936, in Shewa, Ethiopia, to Kegnazmach Worede Gebrekidan, an Ethiopian Shewan patriot and aristocrat from Bulga, and Woizero Amsale Wodajeneh, a Shewan noblewoman of the House of Sofane and daughter of Fitawrari Wodajeneh Awgechaw, an army commander and viceroy of Ras Lul Seged in Ethiopia's former Solomonic dynasty Kingdom.
