Dear Joseph

We don’t need this aids based on the following reasons:

 

·         The National Agricultural Advisory Services program did not carry out needs assessment of suitability for crop preference by those farmers in Gulu that was why 40 bags were collected less than 90 bags because of no interest in cassava stem cuttings

·         Maize planting materials were picked up quickly because the history of adaptability and preferences known

 

We have to improve on the above two points

 

Thank you

Henry Wani

Dear all,

 

 

It is up-surd that wrong targeting of famers with development and humanitarian seed aid is taking place around us. This is what is happening in Uganda now

Key Question:

·         Do you think we need such aid? If so,

·         How do we improve?

 

Regards,

 

Joseph
