Learning
[edit]Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
- Better Collaboration with the volunteered photographers.
- Alot of images from North central was gotten.
- Partnering with government and security agency proved very effective.
- The project created awareness and relationship with photographers from north central Nigeria.
- What did not work so well?
- Getting into the different states took lot of time and trouble due to bad road network.
- We had security challenges at some state due to the northern Nigeria security challenges.
- We were not able to upload all of the images on time..
- Due to security risk, we had to break our journey and hence end up spending about 2 years as we couldn't cover some states and came back later.
- We faced unexpected weather challenges on the various days of the photowalk, which limited our shooting time and affected some of the planned locations.
- Some logistical aspects, such as transportation and access to certain areas, did not go as planned. This caused delays and forced us to adjust our itinerary
- What would you do differently next time?
- Only go to states that i am more familiar with.
- We will allocated atleast 2weeks to cover the next region and ensure there is allocated days away from the photowalk for uploads.
- Having other separate times for future uploads
- We would incorporate a contingency plan for different weather conditions.
- Better logistics and on time planning.
