Challenges and Potential Solutions
Challenges Potential Solution• Challenges in the transportation
of the materials, the inputs, the samples and the storage of the materials
• Providing a car for the team and constructing a warehouse in the TP
• Numerous protocols and data collection sheets
• Harmonizing the data collection sheet on a single tool to simplify the task of the technicians
• Time planned for the survey on livestock feeding too short (5 days/Village)
• Extend the length of the survey (9-10 days/village)
• Communication deficit • Improving Communication
WAY FORWARD
• Finishing the installation of the trials (sorghum, groundnut cowpea and soya bean) in the target villages.
• Continuing the survey on gender preferences in livestock feeding in the remaining villages (Sibirila, Dièba).
• Continuing the training (FFS) in the TP and farmers training by ToT
• Data collection and Monitoring of field activities
