Challenges & Constraints

Funding: Inadequate and Untimely Release

Paucity of fund in the ADPs which affected conduct of MTRMs, Diagnostic Surveys, Training Workshops and other REFILS Activities

Serious skill-gap among the present crop of ADP technical and extension staff.

Poor access to Vehicle
