Capacity Building for MSMEs Within Mariculture Value Chains at the Kenyan Coast The overall goal of the project was to contribute to coastal economic development in an inclusive, integrated, participatory, and sustainable manner to strengthen sustainable blue economy value chains through skill development and matching. The project attached a lot of focus on milkfish, prawn, and mud crab farming as key opportunities and targeted 5 counties, Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River, and Lamu. This was envisaged to influence improved income and employment of women and youth and equally gravitate the coastal target group to embrace mariculture practices that effectively respond to and address sustainable climate resilience. The project was premised on the partnership of the EU and Government of Kenya (GoK) to advance the blue economy agenda through coastal development commonly known as “Go Blue” and Germany through GIZ is one of the implementing partners. The project was implemented in collaboration with the County Government Fisheries Department, CBOs, and BMUs, as well as other partnering organizations in order to encourage commercially viable fish farming practices and to promote the benefits of responsible Mari culture. The approach used integrated public and private sector investments in the Mari culture value chain with community-wide initiatives that promote employment creation, improved livelihood, increased income and food security. The project designed need-based trainings tailored to the specific needs among different target groups with an aim of enhancing smallholder commercial fish farmers with Mari culture knowledge and technical and business/financial literacy skills to help sustainably manage, grow the sector and make it more inclusive.

Turning Pain into Peace Peace and Governance Twenty six year old Felix Ochieng used to fear election season in Kenya. When he was 11, his brother Moses was almost killed during the post-election violence that broke out after the contested 2007 Kenyan Elections. After the results of the election were announced, the country was ripped apart along ethnic lines. Moses’ neighbours turned against him - they attacked him and burned his house down. He lost everything." I was not at peace because my brother Moses almost lost his life,” Felix said. The 2022 election season was different for Felix, and for many Kenyans, in what is widely recognized as the most peaceful election in Kenya’s history. Felix was part of that success. Felix and his brother live in Mathare, an informal settlement in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. In 2022, through USAID Kenya’s Electoral Conflicts Mitigation and Civic Education Support (ECCES) program, We trained Felix as a Peace Ambassador. Felix and other Peace Ambassadors around the country were trained to detect triggers of electoral violence, identify potential hotspots, and respond when a conflict arises. "Now, I have a way to help,” says Felix. He shares his story with others in his neighbourhood and works to prevent youth manipulation and violence by spreading anti-violence messages throughout Mathare https://www.usaid.gov/kenya/news/nov-21-2022-turning-pain-peace More Stories Skills Development Turning the Tides through Development Cooperation Read More Peace and Governance Turning Pain into Peace Read More Skills and Development Hillary Kawa Sore Read More Skills and Development My Move to start own business ignited by Pamoja skills training Read More Skills and Development Pamoja changed my Life Read More Skills and Development Reconnecting to my business dream through development partnership Read More

< Back Enhancing Youth and Women Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya Location Kakamega County Location Peace and Governance and Climate Resilience Empowering Youth and Women: P4T and GFA Conduct Land Access Training Workshop for Community Change Agents and Farmers Service Centers Bukura, Kenya - In a significant step toward boosting agricultural development and empowering marginalized groups, P4T, in collaboration with GFA under the Agri-Jobs for Youth initiative, successfully conducted an awareness and sensitization training workshop at Bukura Agricultural Training Center (ATC). The one-day awareness and sensitization session brought together Community Change Agents (CCAs) and Farmers Service Centers (FSCs) from the five project counties: Kisumu, Kakamega, Siaya, Vihiga, and Bungoma. The workshop focused on strengthening the capacity of CCAs and FSCs with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate community sensitization and awareness forums on land access. The primary focus of these forums will be to address the challenges faced by youth and women in accessing land for agricultural activities, ultimately aiming to increase their participation and productivity in the sector. This training is a vital precursor to the intergenerational dialogues already initiated by the project team. By empowering local community agents with information and sensitization techniques, P4T and GFA are fostering a grassroots movement to address land access issues. The expectation is that well-informed CCAs and FSCs will be instrumental in creating awareness and paving the way for constructive dialogues that can lead to tangible improvements in land access for young people and women in the region. This initiative emphasizes the commitment of P4T and GFA to not only create job opportunities in agriculture for the youth but also to address the fundamental issue of land access, which is often a significant barrier to entry and success in the agricultural sector, particularly for women and youths. The impact of this training is expected to foster greater equity and increased agricultural output across the five counties.
