Kigali & Admin

Yesterday was a long day in Kigali again with meetings literally from arriving till departure at 5:30 the afternoon. Turned out to be quite productive though in most instances.

We got some short admin queries from REMA, the environmental agency, about the EIA we had submitted, so a bit of work there but nothing major though. There doesn't seem to be any problems with our proposals on being environmentally friendly and the general way we intend to do things at Kioro.

Also spent some time with one of the tour operators in Kigali and we ended up planning the publication of a bird list for Rwanda, possibly with corporate sponsorships from some Rwandan companies.

Then an afternoon meeting with an organisation that specialises in capacity building throughout Rwanda, a really worthy cause as this is something that is very high on the "Required" priority list here. Also discussed our plans as regards training of staff and people in the neighbouring communities.

Today was a more admin-ish day with all the work that goes with finishing off the month-end matters that still hang around - month-end having been on Friday.
