  6. Recommendations • There is need for a review of country node activities. • All country node in all SADC countries should be strengthened. • FANRPAN Secretariat should hold workshops in each SADC country to review the workings of country nodes and market FANRPAN activities. • New nodes like Angola visit other nodes with experience e.g. Zambia. • All nodes should sell FANRPAN in their organisations.
