Background:

Due to the limitations in our face to face meetings imposed by the current health crisis, the AFRALO leadership team has discussed the best ways to keep this great community engaged, making this “online only” time more beneficial and productive for all.

Goal:

To provide the AFRALO community with webinars as an online tool to undertake AFRALO activities.  The objectives are to carry out any activity we need to do and strengthen capacities of our members, advancing the knowledge of participants toward an agreed learning objective which will contribute to enhance AFRALO’s members participation in At-Large’s Policy Advice development.

Webinar Coordinators:

The Leadership appointed Tijani Ben Jemaa and Bram Fudzulani (our regional O/E Co-Chair) to coordinate this effort.

Topics:

For the capacity building, the topics to be addressed would be identified by the community itself. This is why this survey is initiated.
