RLAP – Why the approach?• Address the challenges of weak culture of
learning, sharing and networking; and some extent local capacities
• The application of research results: moving towards actual uptake of innovations.
• Scaling up from small-scale and a limited time horizon towards sustainable implementation at scale.
• Complexity: from dealing with one aspect of a problem towards an integrated and holistic approach

RLAP – What approach do we adopt to introducing a Learning Alliance Platform in NR?
Do we intend to consider the ICC meetings as the Regional Learning Alliance with an injection of the learning component?
Do we intend to continue the monthly learning and sharing?
Who documents the learning(key issues from the discussions)?
How do we finance the meetings, what is the status of the current financing for the ICC ,will the current financing process continue?
How will the documentation be financed ?
