Our Champions of change feedback session took place on Tuesday (yesterday) in Lusaka. We had representatives from Central and Lusaka province. It was a successful and very interesting session. We exchanged ideas and we were given some great insights and recommendations.

@chola_neene@Agriterra Correct, there are 50,000 registered coops in Zambia. But the majority of these were set up to get FISP input subsidies. We need coops based on a viable business model.
