Member Capacity Building

Sustainable growth and development of membership is the core mandate of TUNADO. It is because of members that we exist hence, members ought to stand with us because the delivery of TUNADO’s mandate demands that we consolidate our membership and build their capacity along the honey value chain to make them competitive in the market.

Key Objective:
