Lesson-110810-4

Some project activities do not necessarily have to be implemented in a linear sequence as planned but can and should be implemented in parallel. Some of the key project activities and outputs are concatenated. For example, the rapid sector appraisal and value chain analysis needed to be conducted first so the information could be used to help design and implement the prevalence survey. On the other hand, the training did not have to wait until the end of the project. It could have and should have been started earlier in parallel with the research to ensure the project had adequate time to provide high quality training to the key stakeholders.
