Dear All,
The issue of countries' needs for technical assistance is an usual item on
the agenda of all meetings of the GAVI Sub-Regional Working Groups, which
also discuss about who among the partners will provide assistance to each
individual country.
Minutes of these meetings are shared with some TFCC members. If other people
would like to receive them, please, let us know and we shall put you on the
distribution lists.
Many thanks!
Modibo
