Overall 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
