This article offers an account of a self-assessment process in a dairy sector in Tanzania. It discusses the work of the Southern Highlands Dairy Development Project in re-orienting their dairy support sector approach towards one that works with households involved in dairy work in a more participatory manner.

The aim of this training manual (based on an imaginary course on Physical Soil and Water Conservation Measures) is to help people to prepare training courses to meet the training needs at all levels of a project and community. It uses a "question-based" method to encourage and empower trainees to take as much responsibility for their training as possible.
