After the selection of the villages, the MAF and JICA Project Teams jointly held the consultation meetings at the target villages and confirmed the villagers’ willingness to take part in the project activities explaining the outlines of the project activities as well as the basic rules that the villagers who would participate in the project activities should follow. Village leaders and other local communities in all the target villages consented to the Project and expressed their willingness to participate in the project activities.
