  4. Summary points from last Board Meeting (May 26th) • General improvement in management noted • Acknowledged more rapid development of new activities, but spend is still too low. Further acceleration is required • Approved new and more streamlined activity review process • Acknowledged better and more open working relationship between Technical Team and IndII • More frequent TT meetings /communications • Too focussed on national level activities, more required at the sub-national level.

  5. Review of Progress • Strong progress reflected in 2 ways: • Rapid development of new activities • Sharp increase in TT approved budgets and actual spend • ‘Progressive engagement’ – focus now on small scoping activities leading to larger, better designed programs for next work-plan period • Development and enhancement of institutional relationships
