In August 2016, USAID confirmed a second five-year phase(2017-2021) for Africa RISING. In November 2016, the project in the Ethiopian highlands organized a Review and Planning meeting to serve as a bridge between the results of the first phase and plans for the coming phase.
The meeting brought together project partners and stakeholders to review phase I outputs and achievements, provide an overview of the phase II project and approach, review and refine scaling proposals from phase I, and discuss implementation processes for Phase II.
This photo report captures moments from the meeting. More information is at http://africa-rising.wikispaces.com/ ethiopia_planning_nov2016
