How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are a major health focused organization with strong capacities in working with other governments, NGOs, UN etc. These could be shared in line with specific skills, case studies and analysis

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

ALF is an example which we look towards as we try to replicate the 1995-2001 success story of our work at regional level, bringing together people from the region and neighbors to work together towards joint goals. We have a lot to learn, not just to share.
