Learning

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? Editors were happy to add information about our Permanent Secretaries and head of government parastatals. I believe that it motivated some of them.
What did not work so well? sourcing information about these class of government functionaries was not easy. these people are not politicians and are not always in the media.
What would you do differently next time? I will not do much differently except that it may be helpful to source information earlier before commencing on each project day.
