The PHAMA Plus team called on the CEO of the VPPA on Monday 5 September to discuss potential partnership establishment. PHAMA Plus and VPPA established a partnership on 2 December 2021, which was to select 60 farmers and train them to build family-sized solar driers.

VPPA selected 20 kava farmers and 40 cacao farmers who were the beneficiaries of the assistance. That partnership has been successfully concluded and the current discussion is to see how the two institution can further collaborate to provide assistance to farmers who are members of the VPPA.
