Status NFR reporting

 * NFR reporting is in principle approved
 * However, we have a conflict between max support and actual contributions from partners. Partners have contributed according to their max funding, but as we have more contributions from research partners, the total % of requested support is higher than anticipated. This has shown a conflict between the contractual % of support, and the ESA roles for individual support.
 * As we spent less this year, no payment will be released by Feb2018.
 * In 2018, we expect two payments on 1/3 of the 2018 budget: 1. payment March/April, 2. payment in August, 3. payment after delivery of yearly reporting 20Jan2019

Travel to TZ Feb2018

 * Travel plan and meeting contacts in TZ
 * see: owncloud = DigI = Site Survey = Feb2018 = Travel_plan.txt
 * invitation to relevant ministries (Work/Communications, Health), governmental organisations as well as Telecom operators are invited.

Content for the health spot
We need more content
 * digital literacy, how to use a tablet
 * what can the tablet bring you

Landing page, what is going to happy
 * digital health, "nice and narrative" story telling to be attractive for people

We need to find attraction to pull people into the "health spot"
 * need people to revisit and come again
 * what is the attraction, why are you coming into the health spot

Conclusion: We need content, such that the health site, e.g. Cystocercosis, can be developed

In addition, Maurice will work with his team to make the "health spot" attractive for people to (re-)visit

Roll-out TZ
Waiting from Feedback from Felix on
 * suggestion for local (TelCo) partners
 * analysis of locations (health spot, school, market place, governmental/municipality building)
 * concrete time plan for negotiation with Telecom Operators

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for Digital Inclusion

 * Further work is envisaged for a paper targeting either a conference or journal
