No Red Tape in Rwanda

Moving fast or what.

We have been in the country 2 working days, and today we met with the Vice Mayor. There had been a bit of the technical problem with the land deed.

No problem for this very pragmatic and able lady. She just called a team meeting there and then, and the decision was made. Then in the afternoon the surveyor went out to the land and today a new land deed with the correct details has been done.

Fantastic! Ownership and deed problems resolved.

Then, she commanded me to produce a masterplan proposal and business plan for the College, so I have been working solidly on it. Tonight the Rwandan team will debate it, and tomorrow it goes to her with the Project Masterplan - also done today.

But what of Roger?

Well following our meeting with the planning department, he has been advised that all plans will be on A0 sized paper. So instead of him watching Macfarlane slave over his business plan, he is cutting and pasting madly, and tomorrow we will try and get the plans finished for final checking and then into planning department on Monday.

And if you think that is all we have been doing - think again!
