These guidelines are to address inquiries from CAs, CTOs and Technical Advisors about materials and resource distribution at the upcoming SOTA meeting for the ANE region, October 4 – 8 in New Delhi, India.
Materials must be relevant to SOTA agenda and objectives. We are particularly focusing on new projects, programs and best practices. Presentations, materials and handouts are the responsibility of the presenter or CA/organization to provide. The ANE SOTA planning team and USAID/W will NOT be responsible for duplicating or shipping materials to the meeting. Each presenter will be responsible for bringing 100 copies of his or her presentation to the SOTA meeting.
Please plan shipment arrival on or after September 27. You may ship materials to:
Nidhi Berry
Taj Palace Hotel
Sardar Patel Marg
Diplomatic Enclave
New Delhi, 110 021
India
PLEASE ENSURE THERE ARE NO SURCHARGES FOR THE DELIVERY BY THE COURIER COMPANY. OTHERWISE PACKAGES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
We ask that you limit the bulk of materials given to participants. We will not be providing shipping back to missions and, history has shown, most SOTA participants will dump most materials in their hotel trash-bins. We ask that you send electronic CD-ROMS of materials, or display copies with sign up sheets of documents larger than 10 pages, and only 20 copies maximum of those under 10 pages. SOTAs are not places to dump extra materials. We threw away large amounts of materials at the AFR SOTA and we don’t want to waste USAID resources. We expect 60-70 participants at this meeting and USAID will not be responsible for shipping copies of documents back to missions.
Because you are a CTO, CA or presenter does not mean you will attend the SOTA course. The Global Health Office of the Assistant Administrator has directed there be minimal attendance by USAID/W staff and none by the CA community. Only those with major roles/functions, extensive technical participation, or senior staff are invited to attend. If presenters plan to present a one-hour session, video-conferencing or phone-conferencing is available on site to use. Please contact Karin Turner to coordinate this option. Attendance at the SOTA is by invitation only, to assure that the audience is composed primarily of USAID PHN staff from field offices in ANE. |
