Instructions for Speakers

 * speakers - F. here to help; will give hand signals...2 min, and then 30 sec. time

The facilitator invited participants to briefly share the outputs of their discussions,, using the following guidelines:

	What are some of the key outcomes you’re trying to achieve…. 	Quick glimpse in the indicators 	Where are data sets 	Translates to gaps identified….

He also invited other tables to add their comments to the discussion (avoiding repetition)

3-4 minutes to do that….then, other tables, if there are a few other pieces you want to add.

12-15 minutes per theme… alright, sound reasonable… Listen up, because you don’t want to repeat what they just said…

Reverse order…from before
