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?
  • All the expected participants showed up
  • The customized T-shirt made identification easier for the participants, especially in areas were we needed to get permission before taking photos.
  • We didn't have difficulty navigating the various towns and cities in the state because most of the participants were resident in the state and knew the location very well
• What did not work so well?
  • We couldn't access some areas in the state partly due to bad roads.
  • There was also the concern of insecurity that has characterized some part of the country.
  • It was stressful trying to cover a senatorial district in a single photowalk
• What would you do differently next time?
  • I will increase the number of photowalks in some senatorial district like Edo South, so that participants can comprehensively cover the region.
