'''Key points from the discussions'''<br />
<br />
1. Review of the draft project implementation plan<br />
* some discussion of the components and the inter-relations among them<br />
* agreement on the overall PIP - yes<br />
* the project needs to look for innovative ways for Africa RISING resources/expertise to work across center activities [joint appointments, shared local staff ...]<br />
<br />
2. Finalising project site selection<br />
* This needs to be complete by mid-November 2012<br />
* Leonard will convene a small group - kiros, jane, alan, beth, steffen, eliud, simon - to produce 'the' plan; explaining why/where/when/criteria. Meeting on 10 October 2012 (15:00); then we expect visits to shortlisted sites etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Development of component plans by multi-partner teams<br />
* Each center to suggest what they can contribute in terms to skills and leadership to each component; to Peter Thorne, ASAP<br />
* Then the groups form to produce the component plans<br />
* Question of who reviews and approves these - the PCC?<br />
<br />
Other points<br />
* Time spent can already be charged to the project<br />
* Regarding the year 1 funds, can these be carried over to the next year? Action Peter Thorne<br />
* Some discussion of the need for capital investment - eg vehicles - in project sites.<br />
