Alumni and the Farmer’s and Women’s Unions began organising IPM Clubs for all farmers in 1998.  By early 2000 each of the 10 hamlets had an IPM Club.  In each of the clubs Farmer IPM Trainers were named as either the Chair or Vice-chair.  These two positions alternate between a representative of the hamlet branch of the Farmers’ Union and the Women’s Union and a Farmer IPM Trainer is always either the Chair or Vice-Chair.  The clubs are conducting field studies organized by Farmer IPM Trainers.  Leadership of each hamlet IPM Club meets regularly to share results of studies that they then provide to hamlet club membership.  The total membership of the 10 clubs is around 600 farmers.  Clubs plan to continue organising studies and FFS.
