Round of updates
(Not done at the meeting - only updates from Fergus Sinclair by email).

Martha Cronin (local knowledge researcher) will be in Ethiopia for a while now after the acquisition course and it would be good if she could touch base on how the local knowledge from Jeldu, Diga and Fogera might be used in innovation platforms. ICRADF are  planning a visit from Tim Pagella in mid-late March to Kenya and Ethiopia to make progress with Polyscape – see paper, just out, attached. The idea is to get Polyscape working for Jeldu in the first instance and again look at its potential value within IPs and possibly Wat-a-game. It would be good if we could organize for Tim's time to be productive.

Other updates
No thematic issue for next meeting, it's too close to the stakeholder meeting.
