Selected members of youth and women-led sheep fattening cooperatives around Bonga and environs who have exhibited consistency and progression in their sheep fattening activities received refresher courses on technical and entrepreneurial competencies. Building on participants' previous experience with sheep fattening, the training employed a problem-solving, experiential, and participatory approach that emphasized practical improvement over theoretical knowledge. The training prioritized guided discussion, peer learning, and practical analysis of actual production and market scenarios faced by young producers in place of lengthy lectures.
