[NCUC-EC] Applications for Travel Support

[Rafik Dammak]

seeing no objection for below, the repartition will be like this and I will
announce that by today Wednesday in NCUC list:

Tatiana Tropina

Russian

500

Hago Dafalla

Sudan

0

James  Njoroge  Gitau

Kenya

1250

Rishab Dara

India

0

Ayden  Férdeline

UK

500

Norbert Komlan  GLAKPE

Togo

0

Benjamin Akinmoyeje

Nigeria

0

Sonigitu Ekpe

Nigeria

1250

Renata Aquino Ribeiro

Brazil

500

TOTAL

4000


having in mind that those recipients have to report after the meeting, I
will clearly highlight that in the announcement. we have to keep people
accountable, travel support is not for tourism but to be active . for
newcomers,  we can work on some draft plan on they should attend or do
would make sense ( following what fellows have to do, @Farzaneh can you
give some examples here)

Best,

Rafik

>> The other reason is that they have not been able to justify their strong
