Planning 1st seasonA lot of initial information is digested and money has to be used well. Decisions must be made: which crops, why support, own initiative???

Why those Choices?Group representatives discuss their arguments
and feel that they are not good enough, yet.

Credit or Donation?A group lacks funds for next seasons expenses.
Shall it ask for a donation with remote chances or ask family and friends for a credit?The credit is taken as the better alternative!

The Government TractorYou can get it for free – but it takes time while you have to work and chances are low.
After 2nd season no one goes for donation of this kind anymore. Much better to use own strengths.

Drip IrrigationThe groups can get material for water tank and pump.
But who wants it has to attend a training in drip irrigation.

Impact of LearningGroups can chose to attend a training course – and have better harvest.
But then they must attend a mini-course and break heads.

But can it work out?

Sharing the Learning PointsAll results are analysed, discussed and published.
In CEFE Ruralopment there is no teaching. The participants learn with each other.
