A template was designed to capture simple and straightforward activities per organizations, for the sectors to compile and present to the HCF and the Committee.
Very few have contributed their plans in our sector despite the fact the Secretariat of the HCF gave a very short deadline.
Action Points:
ü Sector members should give their inputs ASAP and for the longest period possible.
III. Standards of ES/NFI packages and quality of items
a. Sector members were reminded of the need of adopting standard packages of ES/NFI. This exercise has been tried in several occasions since the creation of the working group in Adamawa.

DRC agreed to share their list of items to be included in the document for review.
