Potential problems
Lack of technical and institutional capacity to meet all the demand for ATER in the state
Conflict of roles between EMDAGRO and the CFAC in the provision of ATER services
Lack of agreement on training content
Lack of consensus on the strategy to introduce the theme of SLM and combating desertification in the activities and proposals of projects receiving ATER services
