  4. Any other business

Meeting was rather short due to bandwidth issues of Jörg and Sarina calling from Kenya.

Minutes

1. Minutes of the last meeting: Minutes of the last meeting were not adopted.

2. Report from the KADI general assembly meeting last week in Kigali: Report #1 was sent to the European Commission, some financial reports are missing, also KMD financial report is missing. Conclusions from the general assembly: separate conference calls for the pilots will be organized, since leadership is currently missing.

3. Reports from the participants

  • Update on the survey First call was sent to 50-60 stakeholders, response was rather poor. KMD prepared an extended list, now covering about 120 potential stakeholders During the Climate Conference in Kigali, KADI members identified additional stakeholders that should also be approached for completing the survey; survey should also be sent to universities. Discussions took place during the annual meeting last week if the survey should be opened up to potential stakeholders in African countries outside Kenya. The conclusion was to do that but some rewording is required which, however, needs to be soft.

4. Other business

  • GEO mountains organized a East Africa Workshop in Kigali last week; Joyce participated in the meeting; Jörg and Martin will try to schedule a meeting with James Thornton from GEO mountains to identify potential synergies.
  • A Finish delegation is coming to KMD next week for an air quality training next week, Jörg will try to find out who is really coming.

5. Next meeting will be on 6th of December

Action items:

  • Contact universities (AI from October meeting)
  • (at December meeting): short (oral) report on visit from colleagues from Finland

Meeting closed at 08.35 UTC.
