Strengthening the Competitiveness of the Cassava Value Chain in Kenya is a 5-year programme funded by the European Union. It is a collaboration between Self Help Africa as the lead-applicant and co-applicants: Rafiki Microfinance Bank, Ugunja Community Resource Centre (UCRC), Ustadi Foundation and Tru Trade. This project responds to identified needs, challenges and opportunities within the cassava value chain in Kenya, leveraging the expertise of the private sector and together delivering an integrated package of activities to increase the competitiveness of the cassava value chain.
The programme overarching objective is to increase food and nutrition security, employment and income among 20,000 smallholder-farming households (at least 60% women) in six Counties (Kisumu, Homabay, Migori, Siaya, Busia and Kilifi). Specifically, the programme intends to increase income levels amongst target households through increased cassava production for both subsistence and trade; reduce the hunger gap amongst target households by promoting cassava, a drought-tolerant crop; create 5,600 net equivalent jobs amongst the Farmer Business Groups supported by the programme; increase the decision-making power of female farmers through an integrated gender sensitive approach and improve on the dietary diversity of cassava-producing households through the promotion of intercropping with legumes and pulses, cassava products and nutrition education.
