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?
The Publiicity worked well as we had a lot of enthusiastic individuals contribute to the event and we got participants interested in future campaigns hosted by the community by gathering the new participants to our whatsapp platform.
The event day also went as planned as we projected to bridge content gap, improve contents which all participants contributed.
- What did not work so well?
We had everything in control from the start of the campaign which helped us curb unnecessary issues that might hinder the goal.

Follow our plan on increasing contributors.
