5. Lessons learned (challenges/difficulties and strategies for management)

A). Challenges and difficulties The National Commune Councils election for the country was made delayed to the

project implementation and lack of the people participation, because all the target groups were busy with their political party campaign. So it made the government department, target group and authorities had not fully participated in the projects.

There is no rain water fall during reporting period and no water sources for rice production.

The poor families are difficult to follow the modern agriculture techniques. This means they have no resources or inputs to follow farming techniques and/or build chicken and pigsties.

SHG leader went to work at Thailand for generating income. So we need to select new member to replace and provided training again.
