DGH Update 3

Here's another update from the DGH group.

Last week, Emily and I went to the national quarterly surveillance meeting with all of the surveillance officers from around the country. James was very helpful, and we met and heard from all of the DSOs concerning their successes and challenges when doing surveillance in the country. While we were in Freetown, Katie Robinette followed up on several referrals and appointments we had (Katie R wasn't able to go to Freetown because she wasn't feeling well before leaving. But she's better now). We're also still trying to organize, arrange and brainstorm questions to follow-up on, people to talk with, and possible recommendations. Our timeline is to continue organizing and brainstorming as we go and begin interviewing specific people and organizations, with hopes of solidifying some recommendations to present to possible partners before leaving (the recommendations would still be pretty vague, but we're hoping to get some approval/suggestions about what we're thinking).
