The urge to roll out FMNR to the whole of Mpwapwa and Kongwa districts was expressed during the first year, following introduction of FMNR to district leaders. It was repeated at the National Launch of FMNR in Dodoma in April 2013. District council departments, NGOs and Institutions were called upon to mainstream FMNR in their programmes. LEAD Foundation was challenged to brace itself for training trainers to be available at ward levels.
This has begun to bear fruit. Heads of agriculture and natural resources departments, NGOs including INADES, St Philip’s Theological College in the two districts are working with ward extension staff to spread FMNR method to communities. The Anglican Diocese of Mpwapwa which covers the two districts of Mpwapwa and Kongwa, with 120 parishes, has directed every parish priest to be familiar with FMNR and spread it in their parishes, with a monitoring instrument developed.
