BDS Presentation at CHF Workshop

CHF-International, a US-based NGO, invited me to participate in a day-long workshop in the town of Durame. I did a 45-minute presentation on Business Development Services: Importance and Role in the Cluster-Network Approach. Since the audience (around 48 individuals) didn't speak English, the presentation was translated into Amharic by Sintayehu Manaye, CHF-GEBI Program Manager. The workshop gave the opportunity to learn more about the challenges faced by small producers who are struggling to get access to credit and improve the quality and increase the marketability of their products.
