The Regional Program on Food and Water in the Sahel and Horn of Africa is currently underway and is working with farmers and rural grassroots institutions through local and regional networks of experienced NGO’s to implement a package of agroforestry, rainwater management and microdosing activities. Various effective scaling-up and scaling-out methodologies that have been tested and refined by experienced local and regional CSOs and NGOs will be used, to effectively change the game in these sites.
The five year Program aims to improve the livelihoods of farmers living in the broad band from the western Sahel to the Horn of Africa and targets five countries; Kenya, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. It is funded by the Dutch government through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development.
