The August 2021 Report sent to the project management unit in September 2021 identifies work status for April-August 2021.

September 2021 on, we are set to deliver three key objectives namely;

The above was completed by December 2021. Expenses identified in this report were aligned to a plan of work funded by Tranche 1 and 2 equal to 15% and 40% of US$90,000.
