This was an offshoot of the national workshop held in Dar es Salaam early July 2013, where Tony and Liz Rinaudo, and Assefa Tofu, were the principle presenters on FMNR. Representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture at the meeting invited LEAD Foundation toshare the Ministry’s Booth at the National Farmers Agricultural Show in Dodoma the following month.After some hesitation on account of costs the invitation was gratefully accepted and eventually LEAD Foundation found itself displaying FMNR material at three Booths, including that of the Vice President’s Office.

This was a unique experience and opportunity. FMNR was introduced and leaflets handed over to a wide range of visitors, including Senior Government Officials, primary, secondary and university students, individuals and groups of farmers.
