- Emphasizing conformity between the project concept and the methodology of implementation to ensure the feasibility and sustainability of investment.
- Implementing applied agricultural research programs before project implementation to ensure selection of appropriate farming systems and technologies.
- Emphasizing the contents and methods of the terms of reference of project feasibility studies.
- Emphasizing the concepts of integrity, modernity, applicability and sustainability of investment activity.
- Emphasizing marketing programs.
- Soliciting different opinions in all the project cycle phases (idea, study, evaluation, implementation and follow-up).
- Emphasizing the direct and effective participation by AAAID in all the project cycle phases.
- Shortening the project cycle period to avoid adverse changes.
- Reinforcing close monitoring programs to enable identification and solution of problems in a timely manner.
- Careful selection of farm managements that are capable of sustaining projects to achieve success.
