The purpose of the mission was to monitor the implementation of project activities through Pasture User Associations (PUAs) and Common Interest Groups (CIGs), as well as to review documentation, assess the use of agricultural machinery, and plan further activities.
During the visits, working meetings were held with the leadership of PUAs, group representatives, and local communities.
It was established that the machinery, equipment, greenhouses, and veterinary supplies provided under the project are generally in good working condition and are being used for their intended purposes.
