- (K – Awareness) The first month will generally have awareness programming about the Market (the benefits of the market to the people / where it is found/ how it will operate to maximize the benefits from the East African Community… etc…)
- (KA- Interest/Desire ) The next three months will have the awareness and confidence building campaign towards a seminar/ meeting with the stakeholders to have a one interaction, tap into their point of view, and to buy stalls/ share in the market )
- (KAP- Skills) The two month will focus on launching the market, another confidence building strategy to bring more people on board ( the need to buy stalls/ share in the market )
