      Researh day

      I have spent my day researching ways of how to successfully penetrate the East African region. I have used the knowledge I know about the region, and contacts too in order to identify the potential stake holders to work with. So far I have got a good number of them .

      Among the strategies I intend to use to reach to my intended target group is through workshops/conferences and the media too. These kind of workshops are very expensive to arrange. Therefore we need to get Governmental, cooperates and parastatals institutions or even private company's willing to sponsor our workshops. I have made phone calls to Uganda, Southern Sudan and Rwanda, and I have successively come up with a good number of them, and so far those I have contacted are more than willing to do it, that is sponsoring our event. Final arrangements and agreements will be reached to later.
