  3. Update on the May stakeholder meeting report

  • No update because none of the KMD colleagues is present (to be postponed for the next monthly meeting):
  • To be discussed: Update on the May stakeholder meeting report (@~Christine Mahonga) and how it can be leveraged and integrated with the "Lessons learnt from long-term observations" draft (link in chat above). All of this in view of the discussion we are going to have with Theresia and our colleagues from Côte d'Ivoire (the doodle poll was disseminated by Theresia)
  1. Update on the registration of Kenyan observing networks (@~⚽ )
  1. Discussion of the "Python and Data Gym" workshop in April 2025
  • Discussion of the "Python and Data Gym" and the application and funding process. All of this to be able to reach out to the right candidates, specifically those from KMD, and more specifically those involved in GAW.
  • A draft agenda was prepared and reviewed with @Leonie Bernet and Christine Mahonga/KMD. Upper management at KMD needs to be convinced that staff can be released for participation, the obstacle being primarily internal regulations on compensation of staff when these work away from the duty station. @Jörg Klausen will discuss with @kennedy thiongo hopefully this Wednesday. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1it9XtbC6WZLeEf0KW-w8k0vRqTgDJI_eNaRAHdWasTk/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.o64raze8lnd2
