At the end of the meeting, we proposed revision of the Project Implementation Plan (IP) in response to activities in the 2nd Batch target area started in October.

Although it was right after the holidays, many officers especially from the Department of Agriculture Extension Services attended the meeting. Mr. Chikomola, the Deputy Director of Agriculture Extension Services inspired the participants by saying, "Put your commitment on it. Now we are targeting on the 2nd Batch area, but still we need to follow up the 1st Batch area. We shall continue to develop a good strategy which support farmers sustainably."
