Improve Producer Technical and Management Capacity for Product Aggregation and Access to Better Markets through Improved Smallholder Farmer Organization

Now completed, the 18-month partnership built smallholder capacity by organising 1,528 farmers and linking them to buyers. Twenty-five (25) hubs were established, each with a savings and loan fund called the Hub Bank. In each region, two value-addition units were established, where ovens were built. Farmers were taught how to process fish by smoking to add value and extend the shelf life of the fish. At a total cost of £107,366, CASA contributed £77,455 in technical assistance and a grant.

Advocacy on Tax Reforms

This second project strengthened the capacity of IFFNT to present the case for a tax waiver on feed imports. At a total cost of £38,736, CASA contributed £31,291 in technical assistance and a grant.
