Displaying 1401 - 1405 of 2117FACT4BUDGET PROGRAMME
General
Addition 2015 The federation, with support from Agriterra has been implementing the FACT4Budget project in 5 counties, where the federation has been building the capacity of the farmers to participate in budgetary allocation process at the county level. The methodology used is the Farmers Advocacy Consultation Tool (FACT) approach, which is a tool used by Farmer organizations to enhance their capacities to effectively participate in lobby processes. KenAFF would like to amplify the good lessons learned from the piloted counties on the FACT approach to cover twenty more counties as well as out scale the same to ten youth farmer organizations. 2014 Kenya National Federation of Agricultural Producers (KenFAP) is the apex farmers’ organization in Kenya. Its objective is to articulate issues affecting farmers by defending the interests of its members and the general farming community through focused lobby and advocacy to the relevant entities. The federation’s stronghold encompasses 2 million farm families drawn from the farming community structured into 10,000 farmer groups. The membership is spread over 42 out of the 47 counties in Kenya. The Kenya Constitution 2010 creates a county government structure which enables the national government to have considerable authority over the policy issues, regulation, capacity building, finance and technical assistance among others. On the other hand, county governments will be responsible for priority setting, financial management, agricultural production and related extension services in their respective areas of operation. This will allow a better alignment of the government actions and projects to the objectives and priorities of the national development agenda. By using the FACT approach Kenfap want to sustain the lobby and advocacy capacities of its members and to increase their participation in policy formulation processes and their representation in relevant stakeholder platforms. It is important to engage the relevant structures to focus on agricultural issues. Improved legislation is a prerequisite for fair prices for agricultural products, formalises land tenure rights and corrects adverse fiscal regimes. Enhanced participation in policy making can exercise influence by steering investments in infrastructure and enhanced budget allocation to agriculture. KenFAP will amplify the FACT (Farmers Advocacy Consultation Tool) Approach to cover twenty counties. 2015 (first semestre) OBJECTIVE The overall objective is to enhance farmers’ participation in the new devolved governance structure in Kenya for improved budgetary allocation to agricultural development and enhance youth engagement in agriculture The specific objectives:- a) To build capacity of leaders, youth and staff on governance and the FACT methodology; b) To enhance the capacity of the leaders, youth and staff through implementation of the FACT approach on budgetary allocation process; c) To improve the budgetary allocation tracking information systems, data bank to monitor and sustain lobby for budgetary allocation and best farming practices exchange platform; d) To enhance Institutional support and development of KenAFF and its constituents.

Sugar Cane Cooperative Development
General
The project concerns the business advisory services support to Sugar Canes Cooperatives and Water Management Organizations operating in areas which follow: Mwogo Mageragere and Ntarama. For SUFACOMWO (66 members) and SUFACO NTARAMA (472 members with 8 500 tons per each year); the business scenario is that Kabuye Sugar Works Factory collects the produce directly from farmers and pays them directly through their bank accounts. Currently cooperative receives 500 Rwf from the factory for each ton supplied by its members at the end of the year through cooperativersquo;s bank account. The factory is also involved in providing inputs to the farmers. For SUFACOMA (219 members with 9 581 tons collected each year) the system of payment is the same like the previous ones a difference is that the cooperative owns a truck for transport and the members are supplying their produce on time. For these three cooperatives support is needed on the short run to in improve governance record keeping and establish financial statements. The remaining 6 SUFACOs need some more time to mature but they can receive the trainings second half of 2018. For WAMOS a training in Financial management is recommended.
Objectives
To strengthen the sugar canes cooperatives to become more business oriented
Other
The project shall be targeting 9 sugar canes cooperatives who shall be supported to improve their book keeping system improve farm record keeping local exchange visits shall be organized for the farmers to learn new cane varieties which take less time to grow and learn from fellow role model farmers . In order to improve the cooperative business model by accessing finance the stakeholder meetings shall be organized so that farmers who lack land rights up to now can get an opportunity to raise their concerns before involved authorities For the organization development the leaders and staffs who received the My Coop training will come together to share experiences on how the training action plan was implemented and which impact was created for the cooperative functioning and its role towards the members while the supervisory committees on the other side will receive coaching on the internal audit.

Supporting the Implementation of the Green Growth Framework for Fiji - Phase 2
General
The Republic of the Fiji Islands comprises of over 320 islands. The two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu make up three quarters of the land areas and 70% of the population reside on Viti Levu. Fiji’s economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing and the financial sector. Climate change has become a growing concern for Fiji’s economy and the livelihood of its people. Key challenges facing Fiji include: • Vulnerability to external shocks, including climate change and financial crises. High dependence on imported fossil fuels. Declining terrestrial and marine biodiversity, resulting from unsustainable land management and coral reef degradation. Difficulties in the provision of sufficient infrastructure and services in both urban and rural contexts. Fiji has a huge potential in green growth, including increasing renewable energy generation capacity, and moving toward more sustainable transportation services and technologies. In 2014 the Government adopted the Green Growth Framework for Fiji to plan for implementation of green growth across the economy.
Objectives
Support Fiji to align its national targets under the National Development Plan with its NDC targets under the Paris Agreement and to plan for implementation. Provide technical assistance support to help Fiji implement its green growth plans as elaborated in the Green Growth Framework and National Development Plan
