Dear members of LACRALO, Within the context of CROPP resources can be requested to attend meetings that contribute to rapprochement with countries within the region. The main objective of this approach is to generate interest in the activities of LACRALO and ideally get new ALS will join the RALOs. The period to apply for these funds during the current fiscal year will expire by May 8, 2017 for any CROPP applications to take place and finish between June 21 and 29. This is because, although the funds can be applied to shares whose deadline is the end of June 2017, applications must be made to be reviewed and approved at least six weeks prior to the closing date of the fiscal year. Please contact Juan Manuel Rojas (jumaropi@yahoo.com) and the LACRALO chair and Secretariat if you have any questions about CROPP. Thank you very much. Regards,
