|Target 5:Food|Security and Livelihood: Target 400direct and 1600indirect farmers|Security and Livelihood: Target 400direct and 1600indirect farmers|
|---|---|---|
|Achievements|o|The project "Creating decent employment<br>for youth<br>and women<br>in|
|||rural<br>agriculture<br>in Homa<br>Bay, Kenya",<br>funded<br>by<br>UKAID, was|
|||designed<br>for "improved<br>income generation<br>& decent employment|
|||opportunities<br>for Youth &Women<br>in Rural Agriculture<br>in Homa Bay,|
|||Kenya". The target was 400 women<br>and youth,<br>but it achieved 468|
|||through<br>collaboration<br>and<br>support<br>from<br>external<br>stakeholders.<br>It|
|||also<br>impacted<br>1746 indirect<br>beneficiaries<br>against<br>a target<br>of|
|||1600.By the<br>project<br>end,<br>evidence<br>demonstrates<br>that<br>poorly|
|||functioning<br>subsistence<br>farms were successfully<br>transformed<br>into|
|||profitable<br>agribusinesses<br>along<br>five<br>key<br>value<br>chains<br>and|
|||household<br>income<br>increased.<br>Indeed,<br>the<br>average<br>household|
|||income for participants<br>was KSh 4,220 per month<br>at the start and|
|||KSh 7,070 at project end, an increment<br>of68%.We carried<br>out a|
|||baseline<br>survey at the beginning<br>ofthe project and we also kept a|
|||monthly<br>income log during<br>the duration<br>ofthe project. The average|
|||monthly<br>income<br>was then<br>taken<br>and<br>compared<br>to the<br>monthly|
|||income before the start ofthe project resulting<br>in the increment. The|
|||youth embraced<br>ICTfor Agriculture,<br>using<br>it for research to improve|
|||their agribusinesses<br>and to understand<br>markets<br>for their produce.|
|||Diversification<br>between<br>crops and livestock was also an important|
|||aspect, creating resilience<br>from external shocks.|
||o|Feedback<br>from<br>participants<br>emphasises<br>that the training,<br>onsite|
|||mentoring,<br>provision<br>of land<br>and<br>inputs<br>were<br>invaluable.<br>These|
|||formed<br>the foundation<br>of their successful<br>agribusiness<br>ventures.|
|||Access to farming<br>land<br>is a key<br>barrier<br>to women<br>and<br>youth|
|||participating<br>meaningfully<br>in agriculture.<br>Furthermore,<br>inability<br>to|
|||afford<br>inputs<br>and<br>poor access to appropriate<br>training<br>present|
|||another<br>layer of barriers.<br>The project endeavoured<br>to dismantle|
|||these barriers.|
||o|Overall,<br>results<br>demonstrate<br>that the project strategy<br>was sound,|
|||and<br>that<br>positive<br>transformation<br>is occurring<br>in the<br>participants'|
|||lives.|
|Target 6:Orphaned||and Vulnerable<br>Children<br>(OVC)|
|Achievement:||o<br>RDN sourced foreducation<br>bursaries for 15bright orphaned<br>and|
|||vulnerable<br>children<br>in Ndhiwa<br>Constituency<br>in collaboration<br>with|
|||RITOF<br>Foundation.<br>This<br>has<br>been<br>extremely<br>beneficial<br>to|
|||children<br>providing<br>them with opportunity<br>to access education.|
|||o<br>15accessed bursaries<br>for secondary<br>education<br>and colleges.|
|Target 7:Environment<br>(Int)|||
|Achievement||o<br>The one-child-one-Tree<br>is a sustainable<br>effort for combating<br>the|
|||effects of Climate Change. Riana Development<br>Network<br>(RDN)|
|||took up action that contributed<br>to preserving<br>the ecosystem<br>by|
|||distributing<br>tree seedlings<br>in partnership<br>with 13Associations<br>of|
|||local Churches<br>and schools<br>in East Kabuoch location<br>in Ndhiwa|
