Farmers through the District Farmers Forum,District Local Governemtn, Farmers & The Harris Group Consultant will interact to develop the value-chain. Through virtual Communities, there will be interactive learning to replicare whole models or model elements. Rockford Harris Group, is a group of young and innovative professionals mobilized through virtual communities to share information on community development. Using the internet through discusison forums we have mobilized professionals willing to grant part of their annual on our projects for community building. Butaleja is an "adopted village" as model. Rural communities in Uganda lack professionals services given their lack of communication services, poor road networks, no electricity, water and even health services are poor. These communities by nature are not attractive for business investments and therefore require public intervention or civil society intervention.Virtual Communities have proved low-cost, quick and effective in mobilizing professionals communities for community building. They have facilitative interactive learning and model replication and that is what Buteleja Project is about.
