Click Here Enumerators during the Training Enhancing Youth and Women’s Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya. Project Overview Land access remains a critical challenge for women and youth in Western Kenya, hindered by socio-cultural norms, economic barriers, and weak legal frameworks. Patriarchal land tenure systems often exclude women from ownership, while intergenerational power dynamics marginalize youth. High land prices, exploitative leases, and limited dispute-resolution mechanisms further restrict equitable access. To address these challenges, GFA Consulting Group, in partnership with Pamoja under the GIZ Agri-Jobs 4 Youth Initiative, is implementing a 12-month project across Kisumu, Vihiga, Siaya, Kakamega, and Bungoma counties. The initiative focuses on strengthening land access for women and youth in key agricultural value chains: Poultry, Azolla farming, African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs), and Soybeans. Key Project Interventions 1. Baseline Survey & Data-Driven Planning A two-day enumerators’ workshop at Vittoria Suites, Kisumu, equipped researchers with skills to conduct a baseline survey on land ownership dynamics. The findings will inform evidence-based interventions to improve land access policies and practices. The primary objective of the training was to familiarize the enumerators with the project goals and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct data collection to inform evidence-based project implementation. 2. Promoting Sustainable Farming Innovations The project supports climate-smart agriculture, including Azolla farming—a protein-rich livestock feed supplement. A field visit to an innovative Azolla farmer in Sabatia, Vihiga, demonstrated its potential to reduce feed costs while boosting poultry, pig, and fish production. 3. Empowering Community Advocates 20 Community Change Advocates (CCAs) underwent a 5-day intensive training on land laws, paralegal support, and dialogue facilitation. These advocates now lead intergenerational dialogues to bridge gaps between elders and youth on land rights. A one-day sensitization workshop at Bukura Agricultural Training Center (ATC) strengthened the capacity of Farmers Service Centers (FSCs) to conduct awareness campaigns on equitable land access. Expected Impact By tackling legal, economic, and cultural barriers, the project will: ✅ Increase women and youth’s participation in agriculture. ✅ Improve land leasing and ownership opportunities. ✅ Strengthen community-based dispute resolution mechanisms. ✅ Boost productivity in poultry, Azolla, ALVs, and soybeans—enhancing food security and incomes. This initiative is a step toward inclusive agricultural growth in Western Kenya. Follow our progress as we empower women and youth to unlock their full potential in farming.

Harnessing the Power of the Ocean for Sustainable Growth The project was implemented as a component of the European Union (EU) “Coastal Economic Development in Kenya” Programme, a partnership between the EU and the Government of Kenya (GoK) aimed at advancing the blue economy agenda through coastal development initiatives. This specific initiative focused on seaweed, a nutrient-rich aquatic plant often referred to as marine algae. Seaweed grows in oceans, seas, and freshwater bodies and plays a critical role in marine ecosystems by providing food, shelter, and oxygen. Pamoja for Transformation conducted seaweed training sessions along Kenya’s coast. These comprehensive training programs were designed to build and promote expertise in sustainable seaweed farming. By equipping participants with practical skills and knowledge, the training aimed to: Boost Food Production: Highlighted the potential of seaweed as a highly nutritious and sustainable food source. Provide Cash Crop Opportunities: Empowered coastal communities with an alternative, profitable farming venture to enhance economic resilience. Enhance Socio-Economic Welfare: Facilitated the creation of employment opportunities and improved livelihoods through sustainable seaweed farming. Promote Environmental Stewardship: Educated beneficiaries on sustainable resource management and biodiversity conservation to protect marine ecosystems. Skills and Knowledge Gained by Beneficiaries Seaweed Farming Techniques: Practical training in modern seaweed cultivation methods and best practices. Harvesting, Processing, and Value Addition: Hands-on experience in harvesting techniques, post-harvest processing, and creating value-added products. Sustainable Natural Resource Management: Strategies for maintaining healthy marine ecosystems and ensuring long-term sustainability of resources. Marketing and Commercialization: Guidance on promoting and selling seaweed-based products in local and international markets.

Development of aTechnical and Business Development Services Curriculum (BDS) for Capacity Building/ Training Improved Cookstove Entrepreneurs and its value chains The project “Promotion of Climate-Friendly Cooking: Kenya and Senegal” (GCF/EnDev) , co-financed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Kenya’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum (MoEP), and Senegal’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and Ministry of the Environment and Forestry that commenced at the end March 2020 until September 2025. The Kenyan component of this project, GCF/EnDev Kenya, builds on EnDev Kenya’s experiences in the cooking energy sector. The project is implementing an innovative Improved Cookstoves (ICS) market transformation strategy in Kenya, and further improving global knowledge about ICS sector contribution to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It is expected to significantly increase the number of ICS users in Kenya particularly in peri-urban and rural areas. Similarly, the project is expected to limit the consumption of non-renewable biomass in the cooking sector compared to the baseline situation, leading to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. The project objective is to accelerate the growth of the ICS sector with an irreversible market transformation that will significantly increase the level of ICS production and sales, particularly in more remote and rural locations, thereby enabling Kenya to significantly advance the achievement of the stated NDC goals.
