• Questions around demos and level of effort.

  • SoftWorks would like to do a demo

  • VillageReach would be willing to do demos

Overall Feedback

• Craig (positive) found it useful to see the steps visually and definitions. He will continue to digest and come back with thoughts and feedback.

• Sebastian (positive) found it useful and clear. He will pass along to Jakub so he is looped in. 

• Mahmudul (positive)

• Brandon (positive) an area that will be tricky going forward is forming partnerships to support a proposal

Suggestion

• Trusted Partner Profile:

  • What countries are you interested in leading? What countries do you have on the ground presence?

  • What skills sets do you bring and what role do you want to play?

• Continue the discussion on how we support demonstrations

• Host a Train the Trainer to share what demo resources exist for TPs to do demos

Housekeeping for the Zambia event

• Asking TPs to present 3-5 slides on their skills, experience, etc. within the larger presentation

• TPs potentially could present and be participate in the larger 'pitch' presentation
