Dear FFF colleagues,
We hope that you have started 2021 in good health with your families.
Following the results of the FFF Retreat, the meeting between the ComDev team and the FFF National facilitators, as well as the training and coaching activities implemented in December 2020, in close consultation
with the FFF Hqs team we are supporting the identification of strategic ComDev activities to support the FFF national workplans. We are already in touch with the majority of the FFF countries trying to ensure two main aspects: a) preliminar design of a ComDev
component as part of the FFF national plan, identifying main lines of action, deliverables and resources that may be needed; b) design and implementation of a detailed ComDev strategic plan according to FFF priorities. Attention will be devoted to have these
activities fully integrated in the FFF approach and in the operational workplan ensuring a space holder for this component under FFF Outcome 4.
Like in previous years, the ComDev team will provide technical advice through the process, building on the ongoing ComDev activities initiated in 2020. In fact, several FFF national partners have attended the
ComDev virtual trainings and already received the coaching towards the definition of a ComDev plan. In some cases it included a preliminary communication need assessment. In other cases, assistance is provided through letters of agreements with partner institutions
or consultants specialized in ComDev. You will find attached a presentation that summarizes the activities that have been initiated in the different countries and regionally, as well as the names of the different institutions and members of the ComDev team
that will provide support in each region.
Quick consultations on the above will follow between the national facilitators and the ComDev team to help identifying these components and activities in time to match the deadline established for the presentation
of the national workplans. To this end you will be contacted individually to verify your availability.
We look forward to this collaboration and wish you and your families an healthy and peaceful 2021.
Regards,
Mario
