Alliances for AfricaCODMAP Review meeting
In line with CODMAP one year strategic plan
activities, the team identified the need to review all that we have
done since inception; reviewing the CODMAP Score-Card using the
Strategic Action Plan, spotlighting what worked well, challenges and
gaps, noting best practices and lessons learnt in the course of
undertaking these activities. We also found it necessary to update and
refine our strategies, creating innovative strategic opportunities to
advance the cause of CODMAP and finally to identify sustainability
mechanisms for the coalition.
