CHALLENGES Inadequate funding to accomplish targets. High cost of broadcast in the mass media Conflicts/Problem of group cohesion in some of the

villages Sometimes elite capture in the development processWAY FORWARD Prompt release of fund to meet targets. Special fund allocation to meet media houses charges. Extending to other adoptable technologies outside
