session on building buyer relations I am so happy that I didn’t jump into the excitement of export [without being well prepared] .” AMRP Participant, August 2006 “I think we have learnt a great deal from the process - and being able to walk the path with you in ATA has been enormously beneficial. So a BIG thank you to everyone who has been involved - for all the blood, sweat and tears... and sleepless nights! Since we initiated the partnership and developed the programme (can you believe in Nov 2003?) the CCDI (and the sector in South Africa) has taken giant leaps forward...” Erica Elk, Executive Director, Cape Craft and Design Institute Compiled by: Lisa A. Yoreo SUMMARY: Program, Administrative, and Financial Status The Pan-African Artisan Enterprise Development (PAED) program is Aid to Artisans’ (ATA) second matching grant program in Southern Africa.
