I’ll be sending along the updated feedback for your form shortly @Ogreat - one quick question:

For collecting data related to the “Location of Manufacturing Facility” field, what was your plan for geolocating when in areas with no connectivity? Were you intending to use OSMAnd (or other) to gather location data when connectivity might not be available?

We’ve had other teams use OSMAnd in the past, with positive results, and we do have some training materials available that you could review to make your own materials personalized for this project.

Hi @schutton, you can go ahead to send some OSMAnd training materials to Edu4All so we can have a look at it.

I believe access to this needs to be adjusted @Bolaji - it is not publicly viewable.

Dear all,

We are thrilled to announce that we have initiated the data collection process to map out manufacturing capabilities across Nigeria since on the 19th of June 2023. Our dedicated volunteers have been working tirelessly, and we are delighted to have received numerous data submissions thus far. However, after careful review, we have found that only 40 of them meet the required criteria.

Furthermore, we are grateful for the letter of Introduction received from IOP, as it has greatly facilitated the data collection process.

Currently, we have sent the collected data to the IOP team for their review, suggestions, and advice. We value their expertise and guidance before we proceed with gathering more data from the field.

Our volunteers have also shared their experiences through videos, expressing their excitement at being selected for this initiative.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Best regards,
@Ogreat @Ogreat @Tiamiyu @schutton
