Experiences from the NLLAP RLAP- ICC Meeting 20111006
RLAP – What approach do we adopt to introducing a Learning Alliance Platform in NR? • Do we intend to consider the ICC meetings as the Regional Learning Alliance with an injection of the learning component? • Do we intend to continue the monthly learning and sharing? • Who documents the learning(key issues from the discussions)? • How do we finance the meetings, what is the status of the current financing for the ICC ,will the current financing process continue? • How will the documentation be financed ?
