Dear all,

Following our discussion, I would like to remind the Kenya Living Labs to update the description of their Living Lab in WP4.
At the moment only the Senegal and South Africa Living Labs are included. 

Please proceed by tomorrow.

I think, we are still waiting for the essential contribution from the Kenya Living Lab (Shambaintel).

Thanking you in advance.

Bamba.

Thank you for your reply. 

I apologise for my insistence, but I need the final version of the WP to copy to the core document. The deadline is in 9 days (but we have to submit a first version before - ideally by the end of this week), and we urgently need the final versions of the different WPs to move forward with the other sections.

If you could send a reminder to Shambaintel, please also copy Vitalis and us.

I will wait until you send the final version ready to be integrated. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

Regards,

Émilie

Dear Emilie,

 We should consider removing Task 4.3 from the plan.
As you know, we initially planned this task based on input from three Living Labs. I think, we are still waiting for the essential contribution from the Kenya Living Lab (Shambaintel). Stavroula can confirm.

Best regards,

Bamba.

Dear Bamba, 

Many thanks for sharing the WP4 (and not 3) description. 

Could you, please, add the duration of the different tasks? What about T4.3 description?

Thanks. 

Best regards, 

Émilie

Dear WP leaders,

As of last Friday, we have only received the WP description from Raffaele (via both the shared drive and email). With the submission deadline 10 days away, your contributions are critical to finalising the remaining sections of the proposal.

Please submit your WP description by today noon. 

Let us know if you have questions or need support.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this.

Best regards,

Émilie

Dear WP Leaders,

Following our last meeting, this is a reminder to provide the final version of your WP description by tomorrow EoB, so we can review it and integrate it into the proposal.

Please complete all required sections (see attached template), with particular attention to Excellence and Expected Outcomes, which remain incomplete in several WPs.

As agreed, the number of deliverables and milestones should be reduced (for instance, WP6 currently lists far too many deliverables).

Once finalised, kindly upload your document to the shared folder and send it by email to ensure we have the correct version.

Thank you for your cooperation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Émilie
