We are not limited to these tasks alone but I will welcome more suggestions on tasks
to be undertaken by this platform and such I would highly appreciate. This will help us to develop a solid Terms of Reference that we can issue to those that shall be invited later on to join us.
Please note that this group grows as the coalition expands in West Africa. Invitation to be a member will be based on the activeness of such individual in the region and his/her expertise in relevant areas. As we grow, I would want you to suggest more people in the region who you think could help the region to grow and support us especially those from the countries that do not have NFPs for now.
Above all, I strongly believe that our dedication and strong commitment to as members of this team will enhance GYCA's growth and stability in our region. I also know that your expert opinions and support will provide us (I as RFP, the NFPs and those that we will come after us) with more opportunities to develop our leadership skills and have
more insight on the way we carry out our functions for the attainment of GYCA visions in our countries and the region as a whole.
Look forward to working with you all. You are the best, lets keep the fire burning.
Warm regards,
