World Map
CIICA - United by a common mission and goals to maximise access to and support for implantation
Information sharing is by far the most important part of this development – everyone’s stretched
To connect people and encourage them to be active themselves
Providing and sharing up-to-date information and resources; volunteers don’t have time or resources to do this – but do have the passion and the communication skills and access to decision-makers
It is a really good idea to share resources and see what happens in other countries. This is crucial for advocacy work.
Facilitating countries – with core materials, and resources that can be applied in our own countries
Consistency of messaging is most important, resourcing, public awareness.
