I fully agree with Ivo, we must work hard and fast on the idea of better institutional understanding of CIARD. Indeed there is a mayor role for us international organization to "massage" the message so it becomes easy to understand to those side lined organizations.

Also I strongly believe that we need to put in practice what we preach so the first ones to have CIARD engagement shoud be our own institutions. Otherwise becomes pretty difficult to "sell" the idea to someone if you have not "eat your own dog food".

All the best,
