I support this idea

Hi, Leo! Thanks so much for your comment and question. We're currently finalizing the CSO course and the public launch will be done in advance of this year's MA. In terms of the broader IATI Academy, it's been decided by the Board, in consultation with the Secretariat management, to place other courses on hold until new hosts are identified. If useful, I'd also like to share here the PPT presentation we used in the recent Bangkok CSO workshop that might be useful in your efforts (this is also in line with the foundations of the CSO course we are finalizing). Do let us know if you'd like to chat further about our reflections from the several CSO training workshops we've done this year. Thanks!

Thanks Anna, that is very useful! Can you share the ppt file, so I can tailor it to Somalia?
Which launch date are you planning for the CSO training?
Somehow missed the announcement of the Bangkok CSO event, can you clarify who were invited and attended?

Hi, Leo! I will go ahead and e-mail you the PPT file directly (let me know if you need anything else on that!). For the CSO training, we are still working out the launch date, but are aiming for before the MA in March (we will make sure to announce it here on Connect once we have a firmed up date). For the Bangkok event, I believe it was announced in the last Chair's Bulletin, but we will also be posting a summary online in the near future.
Thanks!
