The
project will apply an inclusive business development approach for CSA,
focusing on arable farming systems in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. CRAFT
project aims for improved food security by working towards climate
resilient farming systems which increase productivity under changing
climatic circumstances, while reducing food waste and losses throughout
the supply chain.
The project will deliver sustainable impact in the following areas:
· Productive capacity and income increased for 300,000 smallholder farmers;
· Business performance improved for 50 agribusiness/SMEs and 30 cooperatives for climate-proof value chains;
· Climate resilient sustainable food production practiced on 600,000 hectares
The implementation strategy of the CRAFT project is based on complementary interventions at three levels: (a) farming systems, (b) inclusive value chains, and (c) the enabling environment. Technical assistance and interventions meant to target project stakeholders (farmers, SMEs, cooperatives, private sector, financial institutions, government agencies, etc.) at these different levels will be done through five different work streams that will guide the implementation process to achieve the expected results at output, outcome and impact level. These work streams include:
a) CSA practices and technologies for resilient farming systems and SMEs
b) Climate smart investment in inclusive value chains
c) Enabling environment for development and scaling of CSA
d) Learning and knowledge sharing (cross-cutting)
e) Gender and youth inclusion (cross-cutting)
