Subject: INVITATIONS
TO GUS: SIERRA LEONE
Dear Tak,
I just returned from
five weeks in Sierra Leone and Guinea. I am happy to report that much was
accomplished and ties to local colleagues and institutions were strengthened.
MAMaS Project has been
selected as lead program for strategic communications addressing HIV/AIDS
under the Mano River Union (MRU) Secretariat, bridging borders of four
countries. (Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Ivory Coast) I have made it clear
that we are affiliating with GUS and there is much excitement about both MAMaS
(as decision support, e-health and distance education with access to African
Development Bank funding) and GUS (as larger network of peers, parallel
programs, planning strategies, and with GUS access to Japan ODA resources).
I am attaching letters
of endorsement and invitation directed to you from the University of Sierra
Leone, Milton Margai College of Education and Technology (premier teachers'
training institution), and from the Ministry of Health, Government of Sierra
Leone. I expect invitations to you will arrive via email from the Ministry of
Education and from the Principal of University of Sierra Leone, College of
Medicine and Allied Sciences.
After receiving our
contracts from the Mano River Union Secretariat, an invitation will be issued
to GUS from Hon. Dr. Abdoulaye Diallo, Secretary General. of MRU and
representing agreements for collaboration by those member states.
I look forward to
discussion regarding next steps; hope you are well and enjoying this early
summer,.
Linda
