Three groups. The frameworks the Indaba will be judged on.
Three working groups, each holding one breakout room, draft the frameworks the Indaba will be judged on and the named commitment each institution makes at 16:30 on Day Two. On Day Three they reconvene to stress-test those commitments over 12 to 36 months and finalise 12-month implementation plans. Each group will become a standing Working Group of the Network when it is founded on 24 March 2027.
