In 2008 an external review was conducted, as per our Memorandum of Understanding, with the basket funders that provided valuable insight that will be incorporated into the next strategic plan. a follow-up review was deemed necessary to highlight the specific recommendations on how to strengthen our research activities. the process of determining the future begins immediately. Repoa has already allocated resources for 2009 to reflect on the overall performance under the current strategic plan and determine the following structure for 2010 to 2014. Reports must continue into 2009 and beyond to improve the delivery of services and products to key stakeholders.
