Annual Progress Reports 2009

Annual Progress Reports 2009

The past year seems to have gone by very fast almost like an hour, yet it is indeed a whole year and so soon it is time to reflect on one year post INDEPTH@10. Being an organisation that is so full of eventful developments, the year 2009 was no  exception and as such INDEPTH saw significant landmarks being registered every step of the way. While I may make mention of a few of such milestones in this brief statement, I invite you to read the full report in detail and take note of the major successes as well as challenges that were encountered during the year. First of all I should like to use this platform to extend sincere thanks to all stakeholders who have supported INDEPTH in one way or the other to make the past year a memorable one – the Board of Trustees, the Scientific Advisory Committee, INDEPTH leaders of HDSSs, Working Group leaders and their teams, institutional partners/collaborators, and of course my most efficient and supportive teamat the secretariat. I acknowledge with deep gratitude our investment partners – funding agencies and in general all who have supported us on this journey to make “people count.” We began the year 2009 on a very positive and energetic note and this continued throughout the year resulting in very robust and remarkable achievements in all areas of our work.
