To start withDaidalos, the consultancy company I have been working for since 2006. On Monday we had our yearly strategy meeting. Not only is it uncommon for people who have resigned to attend these meetings, it's even more uncommon for such person to receive a time slot. In this case, one to explain what I'm about to do, and the partnership we've agreed on. It feels really nice that people you've worked with over almost the last 5 years are willing to support this project. A handout of my presentation and some information of the partnership can be foundhere.Secondly, I've had a meeting with theVNG - International. As I'm going to work for the Association of Municipalities of Burkina Faso, and knowing that there is a partnership between VNG - International and a number of countries in West-Africa, it was an excellent opportunity to speak to people who know a lot on the topic of LGA's (Local Government Associations). We've decided to keep in touch to see if we can work together during my placement.And last but not least, last weekend I've had a coffee break with a volunteer I've met on the P2V training. It looks like we're heading towards 'same place, same time' in Burkina Faso. Which, seen the length of our coffee break, will be joy.
