This morning the communications folks led a discussion on potential news stories. Jeff Haskins from Burness Communications is here to provide media expertise and organised for journalists from the Economist, Wall Street Journal, and the Daily Nation Kenya to attend the workshop yesterday.

The communicators thought there might be potential for stories on malaria and mapping, but it's early days yet.....
