Five year Lobby & Advocacy trajectory pays back!

Dire Union successfully lobbied the local government to be granted a poultry farm, valued EUR 1.5 million!

Dire Union provides agricultural inputs and technical support to 38 primary cooperatives and more than 8,000 farmers in Ethiopia. The union was assessed in 2018 with support from two Dutch Agripoolers from Rabobank and Flynth. The team found out that Agriterra could be of support to improve the Lobby & Advocacy (L&A) skills of Dire’s board and management to have a more effective reach to regional and national governments.
