Progress Report No. XVI. Dec 1999 - Feb 2000.
In spite of the holiday period interrupting this quarter there has been a spate of activity
with a number of important meetings and workshops taking place. First, the fifth Project
Regional Steering Committee took place in early December. This was followed by a
Strategic Action Programme drafting workshop in the first week of January, followed
almost immediately by a meeting in Malawi of the African Great Lakes projects under
the auspices of the GEF Scientific & Technical Advisory Panel. Later in the month the
Scientific Liaison Officer received special dispensation from UNDP to return to
Burundi and had meetings with our Burundian and Congolese affiliates. February was
also a hyper-active month that included visit from the Training and Environmental
Education consultants to work with the national TECCs and their teams; a regional
meeting in Kigoma of pollution specialists; an intensive GIS training exercise in Dar es
Salaam and a biodiversity SS data analysis workshop in Kigoma. Finally the Project
Co-ordinator visited UNOPS, GEF secretariat and UNDP/GEF to discuss the way
forward toward future projects, in preparation for the next meeting of the project
Steering Committee to be held in May.
