Dear Alain,

Thanks for your concern in wanting me to attend the Dakar Conference.

Iam presently in Freetown, Sierra Leone and the cost from Freetown to Senegal 
is $435. In addition, I have also enquired for Banjul to Senegal as the cost 
for that is $250.

Thanks for your support.

increase advocacy efforts for the prevention, early diagnosis and care and 
control of TB in Sierra Leone. 
 
Realizing that TB is the leading cause of death among people living with HIV 
which is the most important risk factor for developing TB. Almost one in four 
deaths among people with HIV is due to TB.  The implementation of collaborative 
TB/HIV activities including the Three Is and earlier initiation of ART is 
proven to prevent unnecessary deaths among people living with HIV. However, the 
scale up of implementation of activities particularly the Three Is for HIV/TB 
(Isoniazid preventive therapy, intensified case finding for TB, and Infection 
control) is very low. For example by the end of 2009 only 5% of all people 
living with HIV were screened for TB and less than 1% are provided with 
isoniazid preventive therapy. 
 
Recognized of the fact that HIV/AIDS is fueling a resurgence of TB in many 
areas of the world particularly Sierra Leone. Global incidence of TB has 
increased over the past 10 years, killing approximately 2 million people 
annually. At the same time, TB is a leading cause of death by infectious 
disease for people living with HIV/AIDS. Yet when contrasted with the extent of 
social mobilization around HIV/AIDS, the lack of political commitment and Civil 
Society involvement to TB control is striking.

Dear Abdulai,
I'm sorry to learn you were not selected to attend the Dakar meeting. NPOC is a 
very new constituency in ICANN and we have not yet secured any funding that 
could subsidize your travel from Banjul to Dakar. Since Banjul is relatively 
very close to Dakar, what costs do you need covered to be able to attend? There 
is an NPOC call in a few minutes, so maybe you can join the call and let us 
know, if not send your request by email.

Best, Alain

Dear Alain,

Indeed I will but  however, am Sorry to inform you that I was not selected for 
the Darkarr Conference.

It will really nice if CISMAT was selected for the conference. We are yet to 
know the work of ICAAN fully so, attending the conference would have been a 
great help.Is there anyway you can help?.


Thanks
