CHIFA Survey Report 2019 (4)

2 January, 2020

Dear Neil and team,

The Survey report to hand at the start of the New Year must give much positive energy for all associated with CHIFA and HIFA.

May 2020 see the momentum pickup for HIFA to grow from strength to strength not just in numbers but also in reaching out to settings which see inequity in the knowledge economy.

I am confident that true to the principles based on its Vision- mission, HIFA will ensure the participation of all and project the voices less heard in the traditional International fora.

Best wishes to all for a Happy New Year !

Thanks and Best regards ,

Sunanda
