The 2nd MA-SHEP Technical Committee Meeting Held

On 19th September 2017, the 2nd MA-SHEP Technical Committee Meeting was held at the conference room of the Department of Agriculture Extension Services (DAES), Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development (MoAIWD) in Lilongwe, Malawi.

In this meeting, achievements of the project and planned activities were reported. In addition, an initial version of MA-SHEP Package* which will be implemented from next year was proposed and roles and responsibilities of implementers of the package were discussed among members of the meeting.

In MA-SHEP, main implementer of the project is DAES. However, in order to address not only marketing but also technical issues in practicing market-oriented farming, we cooperate with other relevant directorates, such as Department of Crop Development (DCD) and Department of Irrigation Services (DOI).

Dr. Ching'oma, Director of Crop Development who attended today's meeting, commented that "SHEP Approach can be applied to any irrigation schemes".

* MA-SHEP Package is the particular series of market-oriented agricultural activities customised in Malawi based on the SHEP Approach
