Outlook

First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in our midterm survey and everyone who gave us feedback in other ways. We appreciate your input at any time and plan our adjustments accordingly.
What's to come:
  • Proactive sharing of learnings from the micro projects as the 1st cycle comes to an end
  • Answer all your questions, such as the impact of COVID-19 on the projects, the implementors' perspectives, etc.
  • More opportunities for (virtual) interactive networking events and experience exchange with peers, much like our speed dating events of the past

Skybird WASH Network members from outside the RCRC Movement are also very welcome to take a look at it, make use of it and share any feedback you might have.
