Regional projects

FARM-Africa gives farmers living in eastern Africa opportunities to improve their lives through agriculture. Increasingly, we are setting up regional projects that are structured to cross borders and work in more than one country.

Why go regional?

Although eastern Africa is very varied in its geography and peoples, there are some core lessons that can benefit all. Regional projects enable FARM-Africa to share these lessons across communities without border barriers. Regional work strengthens and evolves our findings through testing in new places and situations.

FARM-Africa achieves impact by testing new technologies, building local skills and spreading good-practice to many farmers. Regional projects are able to reach more beneficiaries, further developing our models of good practice.

FARM-Africa has two regional projects that are designed to cross borders and bring benefits to more than one country.
Community Animal Health Network (CAHNET) FARM-Africa's Community Animal Health Network plays a pivotal role in enabling key stakeholders involved in the delivery of animal healthcare in eastern Africa to share information and influence policy.	Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund (MATF) Since 2002 more than 150,000 households across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have adopted improved technologies brought about by Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund projects.

Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund (MATF)

Since 2002 more than 150,000 households across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have adopted improved technologies brought about by Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund projects.

FARM-Africa has developed operational partnerships with over 250 grassroots organisations and uses regional workshops to share good-practice and learning.

Over the next three years our focus is on expanding the work of the Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund (MATF) into Ethiopia and developing cross-border pastoralist projects. We will also take some of MATF’s biggest successes to more communities through the scaling out of these projects.

We are investing heavily in our CAHNET to establish an effective framework through which Community Animal Health Workers can access and share information, as well as play a larger role in shaping national policies which affect them.
