## **PENHA REPORT OF TRUSTEES 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **Objectives**
The principal activities of the charity in the period under review have been to promote sustainable development among pastoral and agro-pastoral communities through gender equality, resilience, enterprise and innovation, and regional cooperation across the Horn of Africa. PENHA works at the grassroots and policy levels to empower pastoralist communities to play a full role in their own development. On the UK side, it has focused on youth and diaspora programmes.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 2023**
## **PENHA HQ**
**SPIDA Book Launch:** PENHA had a successful launch of its SPIDA book at the Bartlett Development Planning Unit at UCL in early December with around 60 people in attendance. The theme was ‘Towards an Inclusive Social Protection Among Pastoralist Communities’ and was part of the DPU Dialogues in Development series of talks. The speakers were: Zeremariam Fre, Principal Investigator and author, Associate Professor (Teaching), Development Planning Unit (DPU), UCL; Bereket Tsegay, Speaker and co-author, Senior Research and Policy Analyst at PENHA and a Research Associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London; Angela Raven-Roberts, Speaker and contributing author, an independent consultant and researcher and affiliate at the Department of Education, University of Oxford; and E John Wibberley PhD, NSch, FRAgS, FIAgrM, Panelist, Professor of Comparative Agriculture & Rural Extension at The University of Reading and at The Royal Agricultural University Cirencester.
Research for the book had been undertaken by PENHA, University College London and Adigrat and Samara Universities in Ethiopia with funding from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO- WOTRO). It grew out of the ‘Social Protection for Inclusive Development in Afar Region, Ethiopia: Lessons for SubSaharan Africa’ project that sought to confront the challenges stemming from the implementation of the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) in pastoral areas, particularly the Afar communities in Eastern Ethiopia.
Arising out of this meeting the Chair and Treasurer visited Sheila Maxey, who has agreed to donate the books from the late Kees Maxey’s collection that relate to Africa to PENHA’s partners at Samara University in Ethiopia.
**RCDCS:** Plans for a joint project with the Sudan-based Regional Center for Training and Development of Civil Society (RCDCS) had to be postponed following the outbreak of conflict in April 2003. We remain interested in proposals to approach funders for a project covering the border areas between Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea when the situation permits.
**Kent Migration Project:** PENHA ran the Kent Migration Project until autumn 2023. It focused on issues of sexual consent among young migrants, including those from the Horn of Africa, who are now based in reception centres in Kent and attend local colleges.
4
In April we delivered two workshops on Sexual Consent and Harassment at Ashford and Canterbury Colleges. Facilitated by the youth worker and councillor Ibtisam Adem. In June Nuradin Ali, a Community Mental Health Nurse at East London NHS Foundation Trust delivered the Sexual Consent and Harassment workshop at Millbank Reception Centre, assisted by Kenny Mammarella- D’Cruz. Issues that came up in all three sessions were in-person and online relationships, differences in the legal age of consent, street harassment and sharing of explicit images.
PENHA organised the workshops in conjunction with: Susan Rundle, the Programme Director for ESOL at Ashford College; Rachel Smith, Progression and Destination Advisor and Gary Ashman, the Programme Director for Foundation Learning at Canterbury College; and Kelly Wynn, the Centre Manager for Service for Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children at Millbank Reception Centre, Kent Social Services. We are seeking funds for the continuation of this project under the theme: ‘Bridging the Digital Divide for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Kent’. An application to Vodafone for their charities.connect scheme was successful and we received 100 SIM cards of 20Mb which have been given to young workshop participants. The report on the completed workshops has been posted on the PENHA website at: Web:

## **PENHA INTERNATIONAL**
PENHA HQ remains central to the work carried out in country offices, providing intellectual leadership and oversight, as well as links to UK development networks. The Ethiopia and Somaliland programs have grown through ideas and contacts developed through the London office, on prosopis control and use, the Seawater Greenhouse, social safety nets and dryland restoration. At the same time, the country programs engage with communities and local networks to develop tailored interventions that meet local needs.
## **Ethiopia**
PENHA-Ethiopia continued and expanded its work on drylands restoration, with Ethiopian Forestry Development (EFD) and partners CIFOR-ICRAF. With a focus on addressing climate change, the aim is to promote sustainable development, centred on pastoralism, gender and social inclusion, with special attention to youth, livelihoods, employment and enterprise promotion. PENHA in collaboration with Tropenbos International (TBI) of the Netherlands and with financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands is delivering the Working Landscapes programme on Dryland Forests and Trees. The approach, Participatory Productive Restoration, helps farmers and pastoralists to generate incomes while restoring their landscapes and sequestering carbon. PENHA and partners helped EFD to develop a National Drylands Restoration Strategy. The Strategy then needed to be translated into action on the ground.
**National Drylands Restoration Strategy:** Cascading the Strategy to the regions: contextualized regional strategies were developed for Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz & Tigray regions. The Tigray Regional DRS was validated and officially endorsed by
5
the regional government. The return to peace in Tigray made it possible to resume work on the ground, with communities in Tigray and Afar.
**Piloting dryland restoration interventions:** The nature of and modalities for interventions on the Tigray-Afar Border Landscape were planned in collaboration with CIFOR-ICRAF. The Arato Tree Nursery was rehabilitated to supply fruit, fuel and fodder trees to community groups. A Consortium was established (including CIFOR-ICRAF, Mekelle University and local stakeholders) to enable deepening of impact and scaling out, with a “Rural Resource Center” model. PENHA supported the formation of women and youth groups to carry out specific activities.
**Story telling Ethiopia:** Interviews with “Local Champions” and filming were conducted on site in Tigray and at the Desa’a Forest. A completed video was submitted for review, and will be published by TBI. The aim is to show how local leaders, including the Abo Gerebs, an association of elders from Tigray and Afar regions, are contributing to natural resource management and peace building. This draws on the work of PENHA Chair Dr Lulsegged Abebe on traditional conflict resolution. PENHA also continued to address priorities in Somalin Region, drawing on experience in Somaliland.
**Frankincense value chain development:** A study/review was conducted, with an updated resource base assessment. A national-level workshop was conducted with stakeholders and EFD, in collaboration with CIFOR-ICRAF. PENHA also directly addressed gender and social inclusion.
**Gender equality & youth engagement:** A comprehensive review/study was conducted and insights were fed into work on-site at Arato. The emphasis was on the need to empower women for participation and to enhance opportunities for youth, so as to reduce agricultural expansion on marginal lands and extra-legal emigration. The importance of natural regeneration was emphasised.
**Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR):** A review/study was conducted, assessing programs across Ethiopia. Insights were fed into the FMNR component of work at Arato site, which will involve youth groups. PENHA worked with TBI country chapters across Latina America and South East Asia to address fire management, an important dimension of climate change.
**National Fire Management System:** Studies and workshops with regional participants led to the development of an “Integrated National Fire Management System for Ethiopia”. The work, carried out in collaboration with CIFOR -ICRAF, was completed and presented to EFD. At a national validation workshop, the Strategy was validated and endorsed by EFD. It recognizes the use of fire by farmers and pastoralists as a natural resource management tool, and also lays out an approach to fire management that involves communities and the different layers of government.
## **Somaliland**
PENHA-Somaliland continued its work on the **Seawater Greenhouse Project:** With Seawater Greenhouse Ltd. UK., this pilot uses innovative technology to grow crops in arid coastal areas using desalinated seawater, and aims for commercial viability
6
with inclusive business models. The Salt-Mine project, developed in collaboration with a consortium led by the Norwegian Water Research Institute (NIVA) expands the work, with a focus on salt and mineral extraction at the site. PENHA completed site rehabilitation work, after cyclone damage. A site re-design addressed identified flaws and new management modalities were introduced.
PENHA-Somaliland continued to address vital gender and social inclusion issues. **Somaliland Development Fund - Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) assessments** _:_ PENHA conducted in-depth GESI assessments for three extension projects under the Somaliland Development Fund Phase 2 (SDF2) program - the Lasdhure water supply project, the Borama water supply project, and the BuraoBerbera Road rehabilitation project. The main objective of was to ensure that the water extension projects are gender responsive and identify opportunities for social inclusion. The specific objectives were to conduct sociocultural and economic context analysis, assessing access and use, and analysis of trends and shocks in communities at the project areas (contextual analysis), identify the male and female individual stakeholders or institutions/groups that should be involved in project formulation and implementation, and decide how to best address their interests and needs and determine their priorities. A set of recommendations was provided that can be incorporated into project design. These GESI reports provide a strong foundation for effective GESI mainstreaming and will help ensure the projects deliver equitable benefits to all stakeholders. PENHA-Somaliland has built a strong capability for GESI analysis that can be applied across the region.
**Support for Integrated Water Resources Management to Ensure Water Access and Disaster Reduction for Somaliland’s Agro -Pastoralists Project (funded by UNDP/GEF):** The project aimed to strengthen sustainable businesses for womenbased groups in the livestock value chain, building on the entrepreneurial spirit of Somali women. It worked through existing women-based groups to develop alternative livelihoods and income sources. The project supported economic development in the agro-pastoralist communities of in Beer, Habariheshay, Ceelbilcile in Togdheer, and Sool regions by building community capacity, providing training, tools, and production inputs in the livestock value chain and agribusiness sectors, with a focus on women entrepreneurs. The project involved an assessment of the current situation of the milk and fodder value chains in three selected villages in Burao, Odweine and Ainabo districts in Togdheer region. This involved identifying the main value chain actors and their relationships, constraints and opportunities for the sustainable development of livestock value chains and identifying commercially viable solutions and interventions. Training was provided for selected community groups, and tools for milk and fodder production were distributed to beneficiaries in Beer, Ceel-bilcille and Habari-hishey villages. Regional consultations and validation workshops in Burao and Ainabo districts involved village development committee, NGOs, fodder cooperatives, milk cooperatives and government officials. More than 30% of the nearly 100 participants were female. Subsequent monitoring exercises showed that milk production was the first priority for these agro-pastoral communities.
**Policy work, research and networking:** PENHA-Somaliland continues to engage with local and international networks. Country Representative Sadia Ahmed contributed to national and international forums, addressing important regional
7
issues, as well as global issues around dryland restoration and climate change. PENHA-Somaliland contributes to the Ethiopia program, sharing ideas through the PENHA country office and partners in the Somali Region.
