Initial estimates reveal that at least 20% of the lead farmers are aware of the technologies. Measuring the
percentage has proved cumbersome, as there is little clarity about the universe of lead farmers in both
countries. The indicator could be improved by using ‘number’:

- Lesotho: 69 lead farmers, 56 women (=81%)
