Operational Plan for Nha Au Fa Keli

This operational plan will be presented to IPG and the committees have the expectation that once IPG sees the improved organisation and clear responsibilities, IPG will be more confident of engaging with the FM committees in collaboration and towards the development of Isabel.

The Committees have been hindered in the past by uncertainty over ownership. It is hoped that IPG and the committees can resolve this issue in the near future.
