Agenda

Summary of discussions

Involvement of local community

IMC assigned Ephy, who is ILRI's focal point for contact with the local community, to coordinate the involvement of the local community in ILRI @ 40 through the local county commissioner. Jimmy would want the county commissioner to attend, together with some county representatives and community leaders [total 10-15 people]. The county representative can be included in the program to give 2-3 minute welcome remarks.
We need to ensure that we also invite representatives of all research regulatory authorities.
