Vishnu, great work. Your objectives that you have set are pretty big. I think working on anti-discrimination for PLHIV accessing health care is very important. I am worried that you may not achieve what you want to as your goal is very big. What about starting with one hospital and seeing how this works? I don't want to discourage you and your commitment, but I want to advise you to be practical and realistic with what resources you have. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you may want to check out Anthony's blog as he has a similar focus for his action plan.
ReplyDeleteHahahah! President Paul Biya of Cameroon would describe your plans as 'GRAND AMBITION'. Really its a greater ambition you have Vishnu. I started same as you until Ahmed, Kuda and Tuan advised me to scale down.Really, you need to scale down else you would not have enough resources to reach your goals. Even if the resources are there, Monitoring and evaluation maybe difficult especially as you have not had much Project management experience.
ReplyDeleteI will advice you start with one town.
I must confess your ambitions portray your leadership qualities. Keep up and be the great leader you were meant to be!
