1. Roll call – Staff
2. Introduction of the Virtual Capacity Building approach:
Tijani: Following up on what we did in Dakar, we would like supplementary capacity building sessions. For virtual capacity building we can use this tool in the future.
This can make the ALS more efficient allow the voice of Africa to be stronger. This was the idea.
Fatimata: Asked Abiola if this initiative was useful?
Abiola: Yes, it is useful.
On which subject do you need more capacity building?
Which subject do you want to highlight?
Abiola will think about it.
Fatimata: Have you thought about the tools?
Nigel: We need to understand the nature of the training. We need to know what sort of training is required and then we can decide on what type of tools. Without this element we cannot forward.
Heidi: The AFRALO Leaders can reach out the people who were on the training in DAKAR. And we can set up a WIKI tool so that comment can be collected.
Fatimata: Yes, this is a very good idea, so we can prioritize the issues to be addressed.
Tijani: We must work online. The issue is not to know what we want; the issue is to see what we really need. The opinion of the ALS is very important.
Fatimata agrees with Tijani that we need to work more on the different priorities.
Fatimata asked Abiola about Nigeria, since he is the only person from Nigeria.
Abiola: It’s important to work online to identify the topics for capacity building.
Heidi: There are already 4 topics done in Dakar. If we could agree to keep the 4 topics and add on some other topics, that could be a way forward.
Tijani: Glad to see that the Dakar presentations are on the WIKI so that people can access the presentations, so people can decide what is useful or not. We should begin to work; we need to choose the items on the capacity building.
Fatimata: Stated that Heidi's suggestion was s a very good idea.
Tijani agrees.
