The study employed purposive sampling in selecting the CBOs and farmers who were the members of the organizations. Data collection was done through data triangulation whereby data was gathered through methods like, document analysis, key informant interviews and focus group discussions to ensure the validity of the information. The study concluded that, the youth should be encouraged to participate in group activities so that they can get more experience and can manage group activities as expected.
