Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. Notes Use the Notes section for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. View these notes in Presentation View during your presentation. Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production) Coordinated colors Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.

Challenges – Looking ahead Increase membership Encourage discussion especially from countries with little connectivity Extract the tacit knowledge and revert it in information Encourage focal points to be champions of HIFA-pt Create a group of people that could increase synergy among HIFA2015 and HIFA-pt and vice-versa Have a dedicated person for HIFA-pt Dgroups platform – need lots of improvement Perform an evaluation Funds
