Clean data recording is very important in the evaluation phase of a village project, during the planning and construction of a power grid and to ensure good customer service. In Sirakoro, the new digitization process will therefore be used for the first time right from the start of the project.\u00a0<\/p><p>Six weeks earlier, we had already used the tool in Djoliba. We gained a lot of new knowledge about how to use the system. Our team wants to use this knowledge to continuously develop the software further, which is not always easy when the internet connection is constantly interrupted.<\/p>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c63d504 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c63d504\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c272f34 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c272f34\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a6b284\" data-id=\"4a6b284\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d12a179 elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium\" data-id=\"d12a179\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium\">\n            <div class=\"container is-right\">\n                <div class=\"wrapper-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africagreentec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DJI_0610-1536x1152-1.jpg\" alt=\"DCIM100MEDIADJI_0610.JPG\" title=\"DCIM100MEDIADJI_0610.JPG\" class=\"image calc-slant calc-slant-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"wrapper-text\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3                    class=\"headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Digitization Simplifies Data Acquisition<\/p>                <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\"Kobo enables our team to access the data digitally from Bamako. Thanks to this function, we can structure and control all processes better, which has quickly won over our communications team in particular. Our technical team is also enthusiastic and instead of using pen and paper to record all information by hand, everyone walks through the village together with the tablet and all important data can be saved directly in the system.\u00a0<\/p><p>The plan was to use the new tool to simplify processes and work faster as a result. In theory, this is quite simple, but in practice it proved to be more difficult than expected due to the local conditions. Our technicians sometimes recorded GPS data from potential customers outside our network, as this is what was shown to them on the lists. The connections and the GPS data did not match. In addition, some villagers who wanted a connection were not on the list of prospective customers, while others were simply put on it. In the end, however, all the teething problems were resolved and 200 households were successfully connected.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a53a47b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a53a47b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e3adf2c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e3adf2c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60663d7\" data-id=\"60663d7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4b38bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_text\" data-id=\"c4b38bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_text.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"kyl_text is-left\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Signing contracts is also not always easy in Mali, as the illiteracy rate is high and the villagers naturally do not want to simply sign something they do not fully understand - as is the case in Sirakoro. Some people can read and write, but in Bambara. French is not always understood in written form. In these situations, we realize how important it is that our team speaks the local languages and is familiar with the values and customs of the region.\u00a0<\/p><p>In addition, there is often general mistrust when we visit a village for the first time. In the past, local people have often been promised by other organizations that electricity will be supplied. In some cases, money has even been collected without the promise being kept in the end.<\/p>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fd423f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8fd423f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a08ddc5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a08ddc5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-310dbe6\" data-id=\"310dbe6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9889517 elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_text\" data-id=\"9889517\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_text.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"kyl_text is-left\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t                <h3 class=\"headline\">\n\t\t\t\tFriendly Welcome            <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In Sirakoro, however, the joy of our visit prevailed and we received a very warm welcome.
