Final Presentation and Report: Done!

It's hard to believe our final week is here; it feels like only last week we were doing our introductory presentation to Emmanuel and the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat staff!

This week, our team was very busy working to complete our final report and preparing for our final presentation. Both Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to writing the last sections of our 60-page recommendations report and putting together a presentation of our final recommendations. After three weeks of research, interviews, and meetings, our finals recommendations were finally coming together; we had defined key performance metrics, determined a new process for updating the Vision 2030 website with the status of the projects, and designed a user interface for the proposed Vision 2030 dashboard.

Wednesday morning Lotem, Camy, Kensuke and I, along with the rest of the team, left Machakos for the the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat offices in Nairobi to deliver our final presentation. In addition to our CSC team members, several members of the Delivery Secretariat were also present to hear our recommendations. The presentation itself lasted around an hour and half, and I felt it went very well! The client seemed pleased with our recommendations and ready to begin the implementation process as soon as possible. After all our work, it felt very good to deliver a product that we were proud of and that seemed to meet all the requirements of the client's original statement of work. I hope that our recommendations will be implemented, and it will be very interesting to check the Vision 2030 website over the next couple of months to view the progress.

It is definitely a relief to be done with the final presentation! However, now that our final presentation is complete, it's really hitting me that our time in the CSC program is coming to an end.
