Dear Mark, we benefited a lot during that period and this was more than enough. Thanks again and wish you the best for your future assignment. Eso

Dear Mark,

This is a sad news for this forum.
I especially did a MSc at the LSHTM this year to be able to understand better your technical statistical answers :-) so I was looking forward to more of them.
I am sure we will still have access to your great inputs through other channels but thanks for all the information you have provided during those 7 years.

Dear Mark,
So sorry to hear you are standing down. Our field staff have used this forum and greatly appreciated your technical insight and feedback through the years. You have always gone out of your way to provide detailed answers to guide those less knowledgeable with the goal of best serving beneficiaries. Thanks for the years of service and know that you will be sorely missed. All the best.

Dear Mark,
Really it is shocking news to hear about your departure. You have been very instrumental and energetic in every aspect of technical support. I have been enjoying your detailed explanations. I hope you will be still around to give your valuable technical support.

 Dear members of the forum,

I would like to bring the following question to your attention so that we can share our experiences together. These are some of the questions one could ask himself/herself after implementing the CMAM programme in the most difficult part of Upper Nile, Unity and Jonglei state where supplies accessibility is limited due to lack of roads in South Sudan.

In most cases, in South Sudan the Targeted supplementary feeding programmes (TSFP) or outpatient feeding programmes (OTP) sometimes went out of stock for a period of one month and beyond. With this lack of supplies, many children 6-59 months who were admitted at the OTP or TSFP facility and waiting for supplies each week to be supplied. Then, after one month, supplies have been provided to the facility. As an officer, according to the CMAM guidelines you will be forced to discharge all these children before readmitting them to the programme as new.  According the CMAM guidelines as mentioned above, the following discharges: Defaulters refer to the Child that was absent for 2 consecutive visits from the programmes and non-Respondent refers to the Child that did not meet discharge criteria (But the child was receiving the supplies) after 3 months in OTP

1. When you discharged those children 6-59 months after one month without receiving the supplies before readmission as new. Do you discharge those children as defaulters or non-respondent?  If any of two, give reasons.

2.If you discharged those children as defaulters or non-respondents. Won’t they bring down the performance of the programme. I mean the Sphere standard will be affected.

3. If your programme is using a new terminology. Kindly share with us your experience on this. What do you call the discharged children?

Hi Mark,
This is really sad news and definitely a huge loss for this forum.
Very best wishes to you.

Dear Mark,

This is a sad news. I'm just starting to learn from you. How come you are leaving? Hope you would still consider extending your stay as technical moderator or maybe ENN can reconsider this. I cannot imagine ENN without you. You may not have noticed but you have been instrumental in this forum. You have been an inspiration to us-public health practitioners (and it's not that often that we encounter people like you). You have been diligent in answering queries from the basic to moderate to difficult questions. And I really appreciate all that...Thank you! (But please reconsider!)

Regards,
Derich

Dear Mark,

Quick note to add to the chorus saying that your invaluable input and insightful responses over the years have been much appreciated and will be much missed in future. Even if not regular like now, I hope you'll still be writing in from time to time.

Warm regards & best wishes for future work,

Marko

Mark

The ENN team would like to extend huge thanks to Mark for all the tireless effort he has put into en-net over the years. It is clear from all the messages of thanks and appreciation we have received online and offline that he has helped and supported many people.

Mark has probably been the most prolific contributor to en-net since its inception and we hope we will be able to maintain the reactiveness and vibrancy of the assessment forum area moving forwards with the continued support of all contributors out there.

Tamsin, Marie and Jeremy

Dear Friends,

I would like to thank you all for your kind comments.

I will very probably return to these forums but not as a "technical moderator" or "technical expert". I think it will be best for me to step back and be quiet in order to allow my successor to establish themselves without interference from me.

I wish you all the best with your work and in your non-work lives.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thats bad news for me. I have just joined to EN-NET website. I have just noticed the response to my questions from Mark. I hope him future full of success and happiness.

Good jobs however have been performed by your moderation
