Editor's Notes
Does the branding need to continue on each page?
Will need to discuss the change from “Capacity Building” to “Capacity Strengthening” as per the CS in country conversation
-Should this be 450? That is what was included in the 2-pager -Strongly suggest the color and placement for each domain match the previous slide – currently difficult to compare
