Partners’ meeting • Shaun to explore potential for reallocating resources • Each team to submit a brief summary of planned contributions to deliverables for year 2 and planned use of budget in relationship to those activities (by 10 December?) • Each partner to consider potential contributions and needs for additional resources in relationship to two priorities: preparing summaries and development of policy maker tools (by 10 December?) • Edgardo, Jimmy, Shaun and Andy to discuss and decide on reallocation of resources for year 2 based on what is possible and input from all partners (13 or 14 December?)
