Projects in 2016

  1. In 2016 we plan to continue our Plant Clinics in Uganda to combat crop reduction caused by pests and diseases. We‘re working to establish community-level plant clinics helping farmers to detect these threats early.

    Our Plant Clinics assisted farmers in detecting threats to their crops caused by pests and diseases. For more info, see https://selfhelpafrica.org/ie/uganda/

  2. Developing Innovative Solutions with Communities to Overcome Vulnerability (DISCOVER) is a four-year consortium project in Malawi seeking to support up to 900,000 rural people to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. We aim to continue to expand this project in 2016.

    We expanded the DISCOVER programme, along with other key projects in Malawi. For more info, see https://selfhelpafrica.org/ie/malawi/

  3. In Ghana we are currently training cashew farmers on increasing production of quality cashew nuts and empowering producers within the cashew nut value chain. Our objective is to empower women within the cashew nut value chain - an essential economic resource for Ghana.

    Working with local partners, we managed to train more cashew farmers. For an overview of all our other work, please see our annual review -https://issuu.com/self_help_africa/docs/annual_report_2015_-_lowres
