Executive Summary Introduction to Feed the Future Senegal Kawolor: The National Cooperative Business Association, CLUSA International (NCBA CLUSA) and its partners, Helen Keller International (HKI), JSI Research and Training Institute (JSI), and Sheladia Associates, Inc. (Sheladia), are entering the third year of implementation the five-year Feed the Future Senegal Kawolor (Kawolor) cooperative agreement. This Work Plan reflects the set of activities the consortium will carry out in Year 3 based upon the progress it has made in year one and incorporating some early lessons learned. This Work Plan presents the adjusted Theory of Change Kawolor strives to implement, with three Intermediate Results (IR) and three Cross Cutting Sub-IRs, along with a detailed listing of activities to be undertaken in Year 3 of implementation. This Work Plan also presents a description of the Nutrition Led Agriculture (NLA) brought to scale through Kawolor’s implementation approach, as well as changes undertaken in year two to be implemented in Year 3 that increase Kawolor’s orientation toward markets and the private sector to increase the sustainability and profitability of Kawolor’s interventions. Kawolor continues to work through local level Senegalese partner organizations to best assure that its interventions can continue once the activity has departed a commune or Kawolor has ceased operation. Often, these institutions were created and strengthened as replicable and scalable platforms to improve food and nutrition security. These organizations enable the Kawolor team to move from direct implementation to a Platform Approach in which Kawolor is a facilitator, trainer, and mentor of institutions leading their own development. This design allows Kawolor to increase consumption of diverse, safe and nutritious food for women of reproductive age and children under two years of age by 1) sustainably Increased availability of diverse, nutritious, safe foods during the entire year, 2) increase access for women of reproductive age and children under two years old to diverse, safe and nutritious food, and 3) increased adoption of good nutrition and care practices. Kawolor also seeks to increase women’s empowerment, improve governance of the food system, and to assure that learning, capitalization and training on nutrition and food systems is advanced throughout its zone of intervention (ZOI). Principle accomplishments in the first two years of implementation: Access to Potable and Multi-Use water: Kawolor worked with the commune of Kandiaye to renew the pumping equipment of the only borehole in the commune with an overall investment cost of 6,960,150 CFA francs ($13,830) with a community contribution at 3,175,150 CFA francs (45.6% and $6,350). The Kandiaye borehole is operational after eight years of inactivity thanks to the support and collaboration of the municipal council, Kawolor’s regional resource partner (RRP), Action pour le Secours et l'Éducation et le Développement, (ASED) and the borehole steering committee. The successful rehabilitation of the Kandiaye borehole in Q2 provided Kawolor with a useful roadmap to future similar multi-stakeholder engagements. In Q3, multi-stakeholder planning initiatives are underway to rehabilitate boreholes and water systems in the communes of Medina Cherif, Bandiagara Koli and Mampatim in Year 3. Tri-Partite arrangement between millet producer organizations, Mamelles Jaboot company and the Caisse National de Crédit Agricole au Sénégal (CNCAS): Mamelles Jaboot, a local yogurt and milled grain company, identified a need for significant tonnage of iron bio-fortified millet for use in their product line. To grow this millet crop, producer organizations (PO) in the Sine Saloum and the Casamance sought credit to dedicate and convert a significant portion of their fields to bio-fortified millet. The CNCAS was willing to grant a per hectare credit of 60,000 CFA ($120) on anticipated sales, as historic loan repayment from these millet POs, exceeds 92%. Kawolor facilitated the arrangement of terms of the independently Feed the Future Senegal Kawolor, FY20 Work Plan 5 financed agreement. It is anticipated that Mamelles Jaboot could purchase up to 1,000 MT of bio-fortified millet after the next growing season. Horticulture activities: Data collected from 3,975 horticulture producers revealed a total vegetable production of nearly 3,400 MTs of vegetables with a yield of more than 10 MTs per
