Periodic communication/meetings will be held with the strategic partner and with relevant implementing departments within TCF to ensure alignment of activities and goals.

Program Managers will have the support of Program Teams who are responsible for field level coordination, trouble-shooting, as well as monitoring and evaluation of project activities against planned outputs.
