• ZL wondering what the connection is with the resource centre idea that should be turned into a protocol
• ED and ELB have been catching up on M&E of IPs and are talking about how to set up MSC in a more participatory manner, with double layers of stories (at CG level and at site level) but without having one level filter the stories of the other level.
