Thanks Chair for the clarifications.

My comment was based on "We need to plan a strong community engagement strategy moving forward to enable NPOC secure funding e.g. from PIR for our work." at page 5 of the report.

I hope this helps.

Nice day all

Hi Remmy,

Just a clarification NPOC is not pursuing funding from PIR, we are developing a relationship.

Thanks

Thanks Ore for sharing.

I will like to ask a few questions and observations including what happened to an account reportedly open by Chair/Sam in Canada for NPOC before we head to Estonia? Has it been closed?

I had also suggested earlier an opportunity to have whoever is on FC as representative among other reps to be in Exco (extended Exco if we like) to afford better feedback mechanism and it will afford same to know where the Exco body language is headed and probably realign to that or rather project that at the Committee levels and beyond.

Finally, I saw where projections were being made to seek fund from PIR. I will like to remind us that PIR already supports NCSG and it may be an uphill task seeking separate fund for NPOC and may smack off some kind of sentiment of lack of trust within NCSG. 

This had been one of the reason we had advocated for SPV - Special Purpose Vehicle to deliver on that within the already existing C's with an understanding (MoU) to ensure the agreement stands beyond the immediate leadership, but being opposed by the current leadership of NCUC for reasons best known to them.

I must commend our chair Joan on her support as always, unfortunately Renata that understands the FC better has left office by the time a new NCSG took office so we began another round of trying to bring upto speed the new leadership, which left some of the projections on reverse gear.

I wish us good luck as we progress and safe trip and meetings for those traveling to Kobe.

Regards

Remmy Nweke
