Goals edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?


Nous n'avons pas pu atteindre tous nos objectifs malheureusement. Nous ne sommes pas satisfaits de la manière dont le projet s'est déroulé. Car le Mali a été pendant de long mois sous embargo et nous n'avons pas reçu les subvention à temps et beaucoup de contributeurs maliens se sont laissés au découragement. Néanmoins nous avons tenu à mener le projet jusqu'à terme

  • What worked well?

  • What don't worked well?
