Acknowledging that initial consultations might not have been as robust as they should have been,

IDB Country Representative Sophie Makonnen is urging stakeholders in a hinterland agricultural project to take an active part in the process to find solutions and successfully implement the scheme.

The US$15M Hinter-land Sustainable Agricultural Development Project encompasses a research station and reservoir in Region Nine and questions have been raised about the quality of the consultations on the siting of the reservoir among other issues.
