Alliance’s first module will be drawn on the last week.

We invite you all to contribute by sharing your experiences and knowledge on this theme. Illustrative

cases will be most welcome.

And don’t forget that many of us we are from non English speaking countries, so we should don’t worry for mistakes that can be made when contributing. For those

who may have problems with downloading the documents, please let me know, so we can find an

alternative way to send them to you.
