    <p>Dear Hijaba,</p>
    <p>Great to hear that the Mongolian Government sent in the IYRP
      proposal! Do let us know if there is anything else we can do to
      support the process - in addition to sending a letter of support,
      which CELEP has already done. I will send you all the logos of the
      CELEP members and partners in case this would be useful, so that
      FAO knows which organisations in Europe and Eastern Africa are
      behind our letter of support.</p>
    <p>Cheers,</p>
    <p>Ann<br>
