Lesson 1: The need for adaptative and responsive project design is important. The More and better jobs created for sustainable livelihood project was very responsive to the changing environment in the implementation. It heavily relied on approaches that were suitable to the implementing organisation/institution. Secondly, the project also had a built-in mechanism that allowed implementing organisation to propose changes in the activities and an approval process for such changes and implementing partners reported having proposed changes to their initial activities considered.
The COVID 19 changed the environment in which the project was being implemented and due to the adaptable nature of the project, new ways of interfacing with partners during the partial lockdown.

Other programmes were moved on radio programmes and added to these were awareness creation on covid 19. The virtual platform became an obvious option for working especially with partners though it was challenging to extend this working model to the target beneficiaries/communities who had limitations in access to the technology, tools and sometimes network limitations.
The adaptiveness and responsiveness of the project allowed for spending on Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), printing of communication materials and supporting the sensitization of partners and beneficiaries on the pandemic. These were all aimed at safeguarding the lives of the people. The project was able to respond favourably to the emerging but unexpected needs and changes in the working environment.
