List the top 20 questions your team needs to answer to advance the venture forward. Categorize the questions if necessary.
- Who are the people we are seeking to impact?
- How is the impact distributed across different groups?
- How does Ukweli’s success in Sierra Leone impact the international system?
- Why do we care about making an impact?
- How is this realistically translated into their lives?
- How can our model be applied to similar countries?
- How is our impact measured?
- How does this venture empower women?
- What type of connections do we need to branch out of the Bombali District?
- What is the future of this venture?
- What are the challenges that we are encountering on the ground right now?
- How do we leverage our existing social network to expand operations?
- What are other ways we can strengthen the CHW network within our control?
- How can we organize data in a way that is easy to understand and accessible?
- What is some data we already have?
- What is some data we still need to collect?
- What are some realistic ways we can quantify the success of our project? (e.g. comparing maternal mortality rates in Ukweli vs. non-Ukweli tested mothers and the challenges associated with timely data collection)
- How could additional funding assist in our efforts?
- How can we construct a reliable and sustainable chain of communication with UHW?
- Are there more effective methods to increase accountability/oversight?

Good work – I saw on Anneke’s post that you also thought through your specific goals as a team which is great, as that helps to understand how those goals contribute to eventual outputs and outcomes.
Thank you! I’m glad you saw the team’s specific goals, I forgot to put them on the original post.
