ADEA’s initial work has been with artisans focused on a diversity of skills needed for a successful business: product design and development, material management, production strategies, quality control, marketing, client and supplier relationships, pricing, and budgeting. In 2013 the artisans working with ADEA broke away from ADEA support to establish Afrimak – the African Makonde Arts and Crafts cooperative.
