Part 2: Policy Conference

The last two days of the conference were very busy since the number of participants doubled due to the addition of policymakers from project countries. We even had several members of parliament from Ethiopia and Uganda. Several of the policymakers were women (2 from Indonesia and 2 from Uganda), who were very vocal and active in the discussions (girlpower:). The two days flew by really fast between sessions and running around, but the results were good since most everything ran smoothly, and the discussions and sessions were quite productive. On Friday night I was finally able to relax and enjoy dinner with the rest of CAPRi folks and our executive committee at a restaraunt overlooking the lake.
