Thank you so much Stephanie!

I have incorporated your proposed edits, its now ready from my end.

@Tomslin- the PC can take the next steps (PS- While submitting to the 
Board, Please combine the report with the excel sheet at the end as an 
annex in PDF format since it was not easy to merge them into the same 
document on Google Docs and Google Sheets without having formatting 
issues and loosing images).

Best Regards,

Ephraim Percy Kenyanito
