Hello everyone, 1st special thanks for the well written strategy. I commend the team that put together this draft. My suggestions In regards to challenges mentioned. I would like to suggest that a road map on proposed measures to addressing the challenges be added as it will help with progress tracking for the region , this can be done for the planned action items highlighted in the strategy. This can be added as an addendum too. Then on the issue of outreach - my suggestion is that the regional office have a database of past fellows and nextgen from Africa with a set of outreach activities for the fellows to execute . The fellowship community comprises of diverse participants from across Africa and a drive to have fellows reach out to the communities they represent can be initiated with the support of the regional office. Periodic calls to all fellows in the region can be made as follow up. But 1st the database of all regional fellows then a follow up of their activities and support them where necessary Regards Esther Patricia Akello -- Regards Esther Patricia
