:clipboard: You can find the session agenda here [link to be added soon].

:seedling: Thank you for your engagement with the ANR Readiness Diagnostic Tool (Français | Português | Español) - we received almost 50 responses! Those who completed the Readiness Diagnostic should receive a summary of your country’s results by early next week.

  • Ahead of our next meeting, please meet with your country group to review these results and discuss shared priorities and opportunities for ANR in your country.
  • If you have not yet completed the Readiness Diagnostic, there is still time to do so! Your responses will help guide our collective learning journey in the months and years ahead.
