- Support the recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing engagement of new SOCAA members within the county.
- Provide basic extension and advisory support to farmer groups, including referrals, demonstrations, and follow-up on adoption of relevant RA-PURE solutions.
- Maintain an updated list of county stakeholder contacts and submit concise field updates, activity records, photos, case studies, and emerging risks to the Advocacy Officer.
