Lessons Learned

Describe any experience and ideas that you obtained from implementing the project

Explanation
Government officials eg. the Area Commissioner and the District Administrative Officer were overwhelmed by the project. Due to the magnitude of the problem in Morogoro they confessed that no NGO in Morogoro District has so far addressed the problem
Participants were eager and showed high interest to learn because all were ignorant on the subjects which were taught.
The Mass media were cooperative in the project and offered free advertisement
Lack of participant's loss of income compensation allowance demoralized their participation/regular attendance to the seminars
Participants commended the Organisation's decision to offer them with Certificates of Attendance.
The budget was limited. Some of the activities were strained

Challenges

Describe any challenges encountered in implementing the project and how they were overcome.

Challenge	How it was overcome
Participants were deriously in need of sitting allowance	We convinced them continue with the seminar because the knowledge being offered was for their own benefit.
The training needed highly qualified Trainers who also wanted to be paid highly	We convinced them to accept what our budget could offer
This was our first time to handle a project so sometimes we were not competent enough in handling the activities and finances	During the implementation of the project we were called by FCS for further training which empowered us a lot.
There was a big gap in the level of education of the participants	Training was conducted in Kiswahili and using simple terms
Due to our lack of experience, some of the costs were not budgeted for from the beginning which have had an impact on the project's operations. These were eg. bank charges, audit, rental and other statutory fees and communication costs.	We have had to pay from our other limited sources.
Transport to participants and organisors was a big problem which sometimes resulted in poor attendance by the participants	As above

Linkages

Describe your linkages with other stakeholders

Stakeholder	How you worked with them
Area Commissioner	The Area \commissioner allowed the District Administrative Secretary (DAS) to officiate the opening of our semminar
The Member of Parliament (MP) Mr. Abood Aziz	Allowed his TV and Radio crews to cover the opening session of our seminar
