Through their associations the farmers are able to solve their own problems. All the institutions that are working with SNV are helping the farmers to meet their goals. It is a programme that the farmers lead and which they want to see succeed. In the past, according to Mr. Mutale, Government and donors used to implement programmes without consulting them enough. The donors did not train them how to carry on after they left. There were also some functions like marketing which they could not perform. They could only negotiate at a lower level and failed to link to financiers and other service providers. The farmers now feel they are learning and will be able to continue after the organisations that are assisting them leave
