How do I draw the chart with my phone cuz I'm not using a laptop. If their is an app I can download I'll love to know, thanks

Hello @Feyisayo, thank you for posting!

We do offer a mobile app for Android, but unfortunately at this time it is not equipped to complete and submit course assignments. We are working hard to improve both our desktop website and mobile app, and hope to develop this functionality in the future! Does that help answer your question?

Also, for future reference this is the Strategy and Planning Community of Practice, a space for those interested in discussing strategy and planning to do so and connect with each other. If you are experiencing an issue in a course, I encourage you to post in the course's discussion board :)

Please let me know if I can support further!

Thanks for the response. What are reasonable ICT project you think can work for the adolescent development in the country

one of the project going around now is the coding project. a lot of adolescent are being thought how to code etc. but for me soft skill mastering in one area you can use to empower adolescent especially those who love mathematics they can be introduced to data analysis packages and application etc.

Hello everyone.
My name is Chidinma Eke and I live in Asaba, Nigeria. I work with Cartege Cinemas as a Cinema Manager where I manage the daily running of the cinema and drive the performance of the team leaders to deliver on business key performance indicators.
At the moment, I am working on transitioning in my career to being an administrator in the Nonprofit sector and I have joined this community as an avenue to interact, learn and contribute. These three put me on a solid pedestal to achieve this goal.

Welcome Chidinma! Thank you for introducing yourself. It is exciting to have you here.

It is wonderful to hear about your goal for transitioning into the nonprofit sector. Are there questions you have about strategy or planning for nonprofits that you want to ask this community? Do you have any ideas based on your own background?

Thank you very much @Mark_G I will surely put the questions forward as they arise.

Great! We would love to hear your thoughts :)
