Partnering for Growth Partnering For growth ANNUAL REVIEW 2010/11 A member of the Kabati Golden Group, in Central Kenya with a crop of bulb onions Working towards FARM-Africa works with a prosperous rural communities to build sustainable incomes for the long-term. rural Africa Despite global economic and technological change, more than 80 per cent of Africans live in rural areas and still rely on the food they grow and the animals they keep to survive*. In 2010, FARM-Africa worked directly with 649,000 people and improved the lives of around 7.6 million people in eastern Africa. Working alongside Africa’s farmers, herders and forest communities, we enable them to adopt the latest technologies and link to markets to make sustainable improvements to their livelihoods. Finding pathways out of poverty Dairy goat farmers working with FARM-Africa in Kenya have increased their average annual incomes from about £46 to around £497 from sales of goats and milk. Cross-bred goats command a higher sale price which is between 5 and 10 times more than local goats as they are highly productive and can yield up to four times more milk per day. Raising productivity The introduction of drought-tolerant crops in the semi-arid districts of Kitui and Mwingi, in Kenya, has seen a 249 per cent increase in sorghum yields. Linking rural Africans to markets Through partnership with SABMiller in South Sudan 2,000 farmers will be able to develop their skills to increase their crop productivity and gain access to an assured market for their cassava by 2013 benefiting up to 12,000 people. * Economywide Impacts of Climate Change on 2 Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, IFPRI, 2009 3 FARM-Africa Annual Review 2010/11 A farmer shows his increased cassava crop in Uganda.
