Documentation of commitment building process is continuing through maintaining effective communication with the Crecer. With support and experience from MNI work, the government has formed a Crecer team with members from key ministries to initiate a pilot project in Apurimac region that will articulate Juntos and MINSA services and activities and provide the basis for developing an operational plan. MNI has recently hired three additional consultants to coordinate the regional work.
