The line of action that was agreed upon, as a result of this meeting, was that the grantees involved will have a meeting online via zoom to discuss what projects each grantee is currently working on and determine how interested grantees can come together to learn, innovate solutions and offer support as regards their thematic area of interest.Reactions
