It had been the individual players

It had been the individual players in the sector who had been putting things together for the association to run on. Therefore, when these individuals felt that they had served for more than a decade and wanted a change in the leadership, the association could not survive. In addition, other handicraft exporters that we had contacted for information during the pilot test made similar comments and they were very aggrieve, sad, discourage and unhappy about this issue. Some even said that the government had allowed the Chinese, Indians and other foreigners to export their wares into the country collapsing their businesses.
