Alliance to develop and promote family farming in Northern Albania
General
PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMenT AND FOR enHANCEMenT OF FAMILY FARMING IN NORTHERN ALBANIA seeks to improve the food sovereignty and to support the sustainable socio-economic development of the disadvantaged rural communities of Northern Albania. In particular it aims at promoting the development of family farming by enhancing traditional knowledge, local speciality products, women’s role and the sustainable rural land management of the regions of Shkodër and Lezhë.
The intervention strategy is structured around four key pillars:
(1) “MOUNTAIN AREAS” – Increasing production capacity of family businesses mainly active in the ovine and caprine supply chain in the mountains areas of the Municipalities of Fushë Arrëz, Pukë and Vau Dejës.
(2) “LOWLAND AREAS” – Increasing production and reception capacity of family businesses mainly active in the fruits and vegetables supply chain and in the rural tourism sector in the lowland areas of the Municipalities of Lezhë and Vau Dejës.
(3) “MARKET” – Promoting access to the market for typical agri-food products of target areas.
(4) “RURAL WOMen” – Raising awareness among beneficiary communities of women’s role and potentiality in the rural economy by pilot initiatives.
The intervention adopts the innovative subgranting methodology in order to stimulate a pro-active approach from target groups. Indeed through the establishment of the Endowment Fund FFDF [“Family Farming Development Fund”], it is expected to disburse co-financed mini –grants to beneficiaries selected through annual Call for Proposals (CfP).
During the first year the project was able to:
i) allocate, through the mini grant schemes, resources for more than 20 farmers and breeders in the area of Puka, Fushe Arez and Zadrima;
ii) exchange good practices and organize study visits in Italy;
iii) provide specialized field assistance to farmers and breeders in the area of Puka, Fushe Arez and Zadrima.
Project concluded. Expected results achieved, as described in the project reports
Scaling Up Fertilizer Micro-Dosing and Indigenous Vegetable Production and Utilization in West Africa (CIFSRF
General
Poor soil fertility and land degradation result in low production yields and quality for indigenous vegetables in West Africa. This project will address the challenges to improve vegetable production through fertilizer innovations. Increasing vegetable yields and quality This project will build on earlier research funded by the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF), a program of IDRC undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. Two earlier projects generated promising results to improve food security in West Africa for poor families. Using innovations developed in this earlier work, researchers will speed up adoption of innovative approaches that will use cost-saving fertilizer micro-dosing and better water management to improve indigenous vegetable production in Nigeria and Benin. The project team will develop, test, and deploy two different models (Innovations Platform and Satellite Dissemination Approach) that will reach and benefit more farmers with sustainable vegetable production and marketing approaches. They will connect women-led cooperatives and youth groups to the private sector and business organizations, directly reaching more than 255,000 households. The team's work will involve further developing commercial seed production, postharvest handling, and value chains. They will also strengthen producer groups. Project leadership A consortium of five universities in Canada, Benin, and Nigeria will lead the project. They will mobilize at least 20 private sector partners and government agencies to build small and medium vegetable and fertilizer businesses. Their work will serve to double the income of approximately one million farmers in West Africa along the vegetable value chain.

Target Groups
The project will deliver socio-economic benefits on a number of fronts:1.By focusing on improved agricultural production methods, and streamlining the value chain, the project will directly benefit participating farmer groups and other value chain actors.2.Direct benefits to local communities are expected from the proposed restoration and management of land, forest and wetland ecosystems, by generating associated increases in productivity, and benefits from forest (both timber and non-timber forest products) and wetland (e.g. fish) products.3.Overall the above direct project benefits will increase income and jobs.4.Through its specific gender focus, furthermore, the project will result in more inclusion/access by women to productive activities and decision-making processes at the local level on natural resources management.5.In the longer run, the project will increase the resilience of the ecosystem which will ensure the longer-term economic function of such systems in many different ways, both through direct services such as the productivity of lands, water provisioning, fish and forest products, as well as through indirect ecosystem services such as opportunities for tourism development in the LNB catchment, including wildlife areas and biodiversity-rich wetland systems.6.Finally, through the project’s investments in capacity building and awareness raising, it will open up opportunities for individuals and partner organizations to develop spin-off opportunities related to integrated land-use planning, sustainable agriculture, and restoration/management of land and forest ecosystems.
