The third call will be Azage calling a development partner requesting collaboration.

09.30 After the 3 role plays Iain will facilitate an open discussion focusing on 3 to 4 key issues that emerge out of it.

10.00 Coffee

The development partners/ILRI researcher have been asked to discuss the question/issue they would be raising. We do not want this to be scripted to keep it spontaneous. Adrian has been asked to focus his request on a short-term immediate requirement of the type that ILRI has difficulty responding to.
