ICRAF recruited three temporary staff for three m onths (April–June 2007) to implement the project activities that had specified deliverables. Arrangements were made for the newly recruited staff to reside in their respective districts for the three months. They were also subjected to an intensive orientation programme, prior to being sent out to the field, to prepare them to undertake the assignments, and enable them to face the field cha llenges. The orientation involved visits to KEFRI station at Karura where they l earnt about utilisation of prosopis, energy conservation. They later visited Kamurugu Agricultural Initia tives (KADI) project in Mbeere District, where they learnt about nursery establishment, tropical fr uits production, and honey production. Finally, a meeting was held to discuss ICRAF and Agroforestry for Livelihoods Improvement (ALID) project procedures and the expected deliverables from the team. They were provided with all the necessary working tools, such as laptops, and digital cameras, before they were taken to their respective districts with their personal effects.
