Delivery of technical objectives - begin delivery of core set of initial activities under skills & training (likely first priority); capacity building; research, development & demonstration. Scale of support defined following completion/progress in (i)-(iii). b.

The work will include detailed stakeholder engagement and analysis of the results of that engagement as well as the production of a final report.
