DFN Workplan

Context: What we plan to do over the upcoming ~8 to 10 weeks (late Feb through April 2022) so that we can develop a credible "roadmap" (or at least high level list of objectives / deliverables / activity areas along with resource needs) ready in line with the annual planning timeline (initial pass late March and finalize in April).

Key Dates / Milestones:

Deliverables at the end of this process?

Call out intersection points between DFN and existing projects like TARA or ATLAS?
See annual planning slides here. Key questions:
- What is the objective and key measures of success?
- Staffing needs? (existing and new).
- What are the main cost drivers and associated assumptions?
- Any requests or dependencies from cross-cutting teams? (i.e. comms, MEL, Advocacy, gender, climate, strategy and tech)
- What are the risks that require mitigation?
