PREPARATION OF THE MFU ACTION PLAN • The participants will group themselves according to their respective banks. • The MABS point person will sit with their respective MFUs. • The action plan will be developed jointly by the MFU and the MABS point person. • The first two months of the action plan (March and April) will be most critical. Prepare a detailed listing of activities that need to be done during this period. Use the activity worksheets provided for this purpose. • Be specific. For example, indicate if management or board approval would be needed for certain activities, and how long management or board clearance can be obtained. • After completing the activity worksheets, prepare a summary of your six-month work plan on a manila paper following the format of the generic action plan. Only the six-month action plan will be presented during the plenary session. • You have one hour to complete your action plans.
