Online Sep 18 from 0900-1130: Lilongwe DAESS/NCCs Agriculture-Nutrition Field Day

[Nordin, Stacia]

This was shared widely on WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter but we forgot to share on email.  Would be great if you could join in to support the LL team and learn about online field days too!  

Happy to share more on holding them to anyone who wishes.   Balaka and Mangochi did some online meetings with other partners (WFP, Practical Action, FAO) as meetings/briefings, though not as field days.  Lilongwe has decided to give an online field day a go.  It is a maiden attempt so should be interesting!

-----

LL DAECC and DNCC have jointly organised a nutrition-focussed Field Day which will be held today. The event will be jointly led by Malili ASP and ANCC. You can follow the proceedings online using the link below:
