• Moz not calling it “VAN” but presenting it as enhancing SELV and surrounding processes to make the data useful for analysis and action

• White paper submission deadline is end-April

•  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

• Tatenda to have review meetings with all 4 provinces before end of the month; Dianna will circulate notes from these meetings
• They will go through each workbook and get very specific information regarding which indicators/graphs/tables are needed and which are not useful.
