Dear all, Just a very quick note to let you all know that the first day of the Farm and Family Forestry Producer Organizations Conference went very well with active participation by over 120 participants - a significant number of them from producer organizations. the meeting was kicked off by the Minister for Environment, Water and Natural Resources, the FAO Rep, the Director of the Kenya Forest Service, Peter DeMarsh our SC member and IFFA President, and a representative from the African Union Commission. Round table discussions allowed active participation on tenure, access to markets and services, organizational strengthening. The background paper prepared by our consultants was well received and all the participants arrived safely (with only one going to the wrong hotel!). A twitter hashtag of #africanfamilyforests has been developed and it seems a number of people are already tweeting. Thanks to everyone for their hard work in preparing for this in different ways. You each know who you are!! Tomorrow we are off on field visits and will have one more day on Thursday. The exchange visit also went very well and important take home lessons were learned by members of each group. We had a good evening debrief tonight with the FFF team, Sophie and our four facilitators and had very productive discussions.
we have a good team in Africa now! Of course Jhony was also with us in spirit and people were asking about him.
Hope everyone is dong well.
Jeff

Subject: FFF Team meeting of today cancelled
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the FAO conference and that various team members are on duty travel, the team meeting of today is cancelled. The next meeting will be held on Monday 15 June.
The Rome-based team members will have tomorrow a short meeting mainly for administrative issues.
Cheers,
Jhony
