Result 2: Training and Capacity Building
Training Achievements so far:583 TOTs and 1167 Promoter Farmers 28,000 Farmers (out of 55,720)
Crops identified for intercropping: Bananas, Beans, Irish potatoes, Avocado, Kales and Mangoes, Cabbage, Macadamia Nuts, both for extra household income and to improve food securityNote: Home grown food crops reduces household expenses by 20-30%
GAP/GPP: CMS training materialsAgri-nutrition: USAID kit
Training Schedule:February Food Crops for intercropping and agri-nutritionMarch Coffee and agri-nutritionJune Food Crops for intercropping September Coffee
Result 3: Training and Hardware Investment
2017 Objectives (for NESCAFÉ farmers under FOSEK):
1. Establishment of 6 food crop nurseries in greenhouses
2. 5 food crop collection centres
3. More capacity building: 12,000 farmers to be trained
4. Dairy production - training to 3 cooperatives
5. Dairy development – 3 cooling plants
Parameter 4: Nutrition Diversity
To complement Solidaridad’s agri-nutrition interventions, we arelooking for partners to provideindividual smallholder farmer packs(with nutritious seedlings, fertilizersand other farm inputs).
The designated partner will alsoimplement Kitchen Gardens inschools in our coffee areas wereNestlé is engaging on its nutritioneducation programme, theNestlé Healthy Kids Programme.
Parameter 5: Education
Aroma Scholarship Zoegas Design Competition Nestlé Healthy Kids
Scholarships to the most deserving and needy high schools students whose parents earn their living through coffee
Packaging design competition for university students for Zoegas end of year limited edition coffee under the ‘coffee by women’ programme
Nestlé's global nutrition education programme in 120 primary schools in coffee areas
25 students since launch in 2016
20 students from University of Nairobi
150 primary schools, 450 teachers and 54,000 students
Parameter 6: HealthCare
Health Camps and health education community meetings in coffee growing areas for the prevention of chronic diseases met with resounding success
Because of patient data confidentiality, monitoring and evaluation is challenging
2016: 37563 people reached through 13 health camps and 1076 community meetings
2017: 40000+ (target)Thru 22 health camps and 1098 community meetings
Parameters 7 & 8: Access to Clean Water and Clean Energy
We are currently in discussions with potential partners to
Implement a Clean Water and Clean Energy project
Clean Energy:• A Biogas project for the Nestlé Coffee Farmers• CMS can offer a credit package to finance bio-
digesters to eliminate cooking practices using firewood or charcoal.
Clean Water:• Promote usage of water tanks and water purification
tablets• Solvatten water purifying solar tanks as a possible
option
