OUTCOMES
The visit of Ms Kakabadse was very successful. Given the short lead time and the amount of preparation required for a visit which incorporated a diverse program of events, media outreach, high level bilateral discussions and attendance at the ACFID conference, the arrangements went very smoothly.
The collaboration between the WWF-Australia and Momentum² teams worked well. The mix of an event and media outreach raised WWF-Australia’s profile and also galvanized considerable interest from WWF supporters and others who attended. Feedback from both the panellists and moderator was also very favourable.
