•TASAF HQ is requested to complete necessary preparations for field events and communicate well in advance with the Council so that information could reach to the villages on time for action.
•TASAF should insure that all PAA officers (PSSN C and PSSN A) are familiar with OPSYS.
•Expecting to have feedback from TMU about all Mitaa which were not in the PSSN Program and already submitted for more action.
