Dear Reader,
2018 is here – and with that plenty of exciting activities for SNRD Asia!
Soon we will announce the next round of our annual Working Group Allowance. In 2017 we introduced a competitive element in the proposal process – with great success! The big winner was the Working Group Agriculture. Interested in finding out what initiatives the Working Groups worked on using their allowance? Scroll down to the Spotlight section!
Are you familiar with our National Personnel Strategy? We, the Secretariat, will walk the talk of further promoting and engaging national staff in all activities of SNRD Asia. We will release promotional material especially addressing national staff and will promote their participation in our conference in May.
With much excitement we have started to prepare the Joint SNRD Asia and TUEWAS Conference “Going Digital: Unleashing the Potential of SNRD Asia and TUEWAS”! The conference will take place from 14-18 May in Bangkok. We look forward to welcoming many new and familiar faces in Bangkok! Stay tuned for the call for registration announcement in early February at: www.snrd-asia.org .
If you are keen to find out more on what we have already achieved we invite you to watch this short video and be inspired by our fellow colleagues! It was presented during the annual Best of Sector Networks event last December in Eschborn. For this, scroll down to the News Round-Up section!
It has been a pleasure to work with all of you over the past 12 months. We hope we can continue our positive developments and achievements in the spirit of cooperation. We have nothing to say but thank you very much, and invite you to do more of the same in 2018!
On a personal note I would like to say a special thanks to Nalina and Sara for their irreplaceable support given through our Joint Secretariat in Bangkok.
We are looking forward to an activity packed 2018 with all of you on board!
Best regards,
Lena Kern SNRD Asia Spokesperson
