+## Issues and Blockers
+None
+
+## Plan for Next Milestone
+With Milestone 2, we will focus on executing field research and primary data collection across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana following the research design established in Milestone 1.
+
+**Planned Work**
+- Fieldwork execution across sponsored hubs in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.
+ Administration of quantitative surveys and 30 qualitative interviews.
+
+**Expected Deliverables**
+- Completed Surveys: Full quantitative survey response dataset.
+- Interview Records: 30 documented interview records across the three hubs.
+- Primary Data Set: Cleaned, compiled primary fieldwork dataset.
+- Fieldwork Progress Log: Log tracking ongoing execution and field updates.
+
+**Timeline**
+- Original Target Date: September 1, 2026 (01/09/2026)
+- Revised Target Date: October 1, 2026
+- Schedule Justification: The Milestone 1 report review delay has compressed the active data collection window. Adding four weeks restores the required operational buffer to complete all 30 interviews and survey targets across all three hubs without sacrificing data quality or coverage.
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**
+- Survey collection distributed across all three countries in alignment with the sampling plan.
+- 30 fully administered interviews, each backed by a complete record detailing the date, location, interviewer, and participant category.
+
+## Attestation
+
+I confirm that the information in this report is accurate and that the deliverables described have been completed as stated.
