  Barrack Otieno:we can encourage the ALSs to circulate the suryveys among their membership

  Barrack Otieno:to get a feel of what the community wants

  Barrack Otieno:we could try and draft this survey as soon as possibble through a working group

  Barrack Otieno:just a proposal

  Heidi Ullrich:@Barrack and Aziz, please let staff know how we may assist!

  Heidi Ullrich:for AFRALO, Fatimata?

  Heidi Ullrich:Should we set up a webinar?
