[rpd] RPD Digest, Vol 187, Issue 7

Sun May 15 08:07:48 UTC 2022

At least in the case of Larus Foundation, our sponsorships do not dictate or require that applicants take any particular position.

We have been open and made every effort to ensure that our education package we prepare for each sponsored meeting contain information on all sides represented on the mailing list.

We do offer bonuses to our fellows for actively participating, but that bonus is contingent on participation, regardless of the position or opinion expressed by the fellow. So long as they engage in active informed dialogue or commentary, we support them.

La question de l'intérêt en Afrique doit être prioriser. La mains qui donne décide de quoi faire.
