Its time to implement

After the preliminary visit, the research, the business plans and the budgets, another stage is born,"the implementation stage". To our team it has been quite challenging considering the last minute urgencies and emergencies. Despite our well forecasted plans, on ground and from our experts advise(construction consultant), certain things will be changed to facilitate the smooth implementation of this project. These made us appreciate the initial visit to the site, of the expert before our travel, as it has enabled us ensure that all that we require from Kampala is bought, and on time.
After good investigation it was brought to our attention the construction may take longer because the initial assumption was that it will be attached to an established building was nullified.
Some common materials like the required sand is not in Nakasongola so we have to come with it from Kampala. This in brief is what we had to face in the last minute and try to change our plans accordingly.
With all the challenges still ahead in the process of implementation,we are determined to make it happen for the better. As our motto says "together we stand", it is through this togetherness, dedication and committment that we shall be able to conquer what is ahead of us.
It is with our deepest hope that the next article in this blog will be the milestone having built a well planned efficient oven that will have a longterm impact for the people of Irima, Nakasongola and Uganda at large.
The following is the activity plan of our implementation schedule:

• Day1-Arrival and briefing of the upcoming project to the anticipated beneficiaries.
• Day2-Day4-construction of the oven. This process will run concurrently with initial simple book-keeping techniques that can be used to record the daily transactions. After book-keeping some marketing techniques are also going to be illustrated to the beneficiaries.
• Day5-Product testing. This will basically involve testing that the oven works perfectly and also testing the feasibility of the product using the constructed oven.
• Day6-Official product lauching and a marketing campaign that will involve alot to do with issuing free samples to the target market for awareness of the product.
• Day7-Marketing campaign to other parts like Apach and neighbouring areas of Irima. Production of product will be readjusted depending on the consumption of the product. Book-keeping requirements checked to ensure that they are well recorded and that they maximize trasparency and minimise any conflicts or disagreements.
• Day8-Marketing campaign continues and the salesmen paid commission weekly for the sales made while the production team paid commission per packet produced and verified that is of right standard.
• Day9-operations under the Irima youth management are monitored to ensure that everything can be done efficiently. Marketing campaign continues.
• Day10-Operations under Irima youth management is monitored again to confirm that things can be done by them beyond reasonable doubt. Marketing campaign continues.
• Day 11-Normal routine operations for the morning. In the afternoon, brief meeting on what has been established and how things should continue.
  
• Makerere team leaves Irima to Kampala will some products also to test the market acceptability in Kampala.
• The operations of Irimak will be monitored on weekly basis through phone communication on progress and operations. Each month a Makerere Irimak team member visit visit Irima to check the books of accounts and operations.

This in brief is our program of activity if everything remains constant and will be readjusted accordingly, if anything comes up.

Finally we would like to leave you with design of what we want to print behind to marketing T-shirts, in case we succeed to do so.
