Apology

• Strength of the message is in repetition

• You will probably not hear anything new

• But: repeating it will ground it, so you can tell it to your members

• Also: FV is basically very simple

• So: “Frappez toujours” as the French say

• And: Enjoy working for TRF!

Future Vision plan

What is the essence?(Strategic plan and general TRF FV presentation can be found on www.rotary.org)

Anchoring of the success of TRF by:– More focus– More responsibility to Rotaryclubs and District– More cooperation– More visibility and recognition

More focus, thereforethe six Areas of Focus

• Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution

• Disease Prevention and Treatment

• Water and Sanitation

• Maternal and Child Health

• Basic Education and Literacy

• Economic and Community Development

More focus

• Larger projects

• Less dispersion of money and control

• Lots of attention to continuity and sustainability of the projects

More responsibility to Rotaryclubs and District

• District must be qualified by TRFBasically: “we will be responsible in spending TRF funds”.

• District qualifies the Rotaryclubs via MOU Memorandum of Understanding (same)

• DDF: DSG 20% to DG 50%

• Reporting and financials in District

More cooperation
