Proactive Marketing
• Organize a round table meeting– DGs and directors of EIAR and relevant programs,
ATA, Hawasa and Addis Ababa universities, FAO etc.
• Identify one champion for each intervention area
• Identify potential donor for each intervention area
• Continuous campaigning and marketing
Our goal is to market at least 25% of the interventions by end of 2016
