· More than half of the total number of trained farmers in the pre-training exercise in the districts of Kamuli and Nakasongola have been able to make their own early versions (prototype) of the different technologies.
· Three quarters of the trained farmers skills have been developed, especially in working with wood and metal.
· Communities have been sensitised on the use of appropriate and affordable technologies
