Hi Saidou, nice to connect with you.
1. My dissertation was centered around immunization, but the proposal I developed during the program was centered around integrating FGS into the PHC system, which also happens to be a neglected thematic area in Nigeria.
2. We met at least once a month.
3. The main challenge was availability. My mentor and I were in regular communication regarding the scheduling of meetings.
4. She helped with the development of the proposal, but I was unable to submit it for a grant application due to unforeseen circumstances.
5. My readiness to learn was the key to completing the mentorship program. We used emails and Microsoft Teams for our exchanges. Zoom is another viable option.
6. It was a period during which I was also developing the proposal for my dissertation, and my mentor was ready to guide me through the process from the basics to the outcome.
7. I wish the duration of the program were longer
8. Yes, I have stayed in touch with my mentor. We exchanged contacts at the end of the program. I also have her mailing address in case I need to reach out to her.
I hope I have been able to help answer your questions. If you need any further clarification or have any other questions regarding the program, kindly reach out to me.
