This document provides a status update on communication deliverables for a project on wildlife conservation in Central and East Africa. It summarizes the activities completed so far, including a conservation song about equitable benefit-sharing that was composed and published online. It also discusses planned activities that were not fully implemented such as comic strips and animated videos due to budget constraints. Challenges with the project like limited budget and time are outlined as well as recommendations for addressing these challenges in the future such as securing more funding.
