From Small Steps to Big Strides: The Journey of Mwangaza Poultry CBO
After conducting a participatory rural appraisal, the group members decided to promote the poultry value chain, specializing in egg production, chick hatching, selling, and brooding.
Oljororok Smart Climate Village: A Tale of Resilience and Transformation
The CBO’s initial focus was on the potato value chain. With guidance from HIHEA, they set up a demonstration farm to grow the Dutch Robin potato variety. The members sourced certified seeds and secured a contract with Sereni Fries as their off-taker. However, the initial attempt fell short of the required standards, prompting the CBO to adopt new learnings and techniques. HIHEA supported them with Markies certified seeds and fertilizers through the innovation fund, leading to a successful partnership with Viazi Kings, who became their off-taker and quality controller.
A Herbal Medicine of the Past with a Bright Future
HIHEA provided the CBO with a disc mill, enabling them to process, package, and brand their chamomile, significantly increasing its market value. Despite facing marketing challenges due to the need for certification, one dedicated CBO member underwent certification training at KIRDI, and their chamomile now awaits certification. This endeavor has equipped members with new skills in value addition, crop diversification, and organic farming techniques, which they have applied to their personal farms as well.
