VAN updates

SELV updates

 

  •  Tatenda conducted SELV introduction and training to four people at Maputo DPS, including EPI chief.

  • Had problems when creating their user accounts (did not get emails nor did password settings by him work)

  • Reminded him that this is a known issue that Josh raised with him last Fall

  • Temporary work-around is: (1) Tatenda creates users in the system and informs Josh and Vidya (2) Josh manually verifies all the users (3) Tatenda then uses "reset password" feature to provide these new users with their passwords
