"value": "From an HR perspective, the KMHP has been stable, with a professional team on the ground and good support services from LCBs and SNV HO in The Hague. Due to a new similar horticulture project starting in Rwanda the 1st of December, financed by the Dutch Embassy in Kigali, the KMHP team leader moved there and in time a new experienced team leader (Sigrid Meijer) was on the ground in December for handing over. Also the advisor seconded from Solidaridad took up another position in Solidaridad and recruitment and selection was done in December to facilitate a smooth handing over by the end of January. As the need was felt for more dedication to M&E, a proposal for a full time position from January 2018 till the end of the program was submitted and approved by EKN. KMHP had ? Steering Committee meetings in 2017, of which ? with the extended SC. The SC process in between the face-to-face meetings, e.g. for approval of decision batches, has worked well, however the documentation/tracking of decisions could be improved.\n\nThe programme has regular exchange meetings with SWA and the collaboration with AgriProfocus, Wageningen University and AKVO has been fruitful, as wel as with PUM, Agriterra,and 3R. A concrete collaboration with the Vocie for Change project of teh DGIS Dialogue adn Dissent Strategic Partnership on food safety with CSO organizations should still materialize.",

The allocated budget for Objective 1 spent 416,817 EUR, an underspend of 11%, mainly due to the postponing or cancelling of some activities due to political unrest in relation to the elections. For the same reason, also the budget for Objective 2 was underspent by 9%. Output 7 was underspent by 9% as well, as the programme did not utilise so much the backstopping of the international horticulture advisor and consequently also reduced travel related costs and fees. Budget for Output 8 was slightly overspent (4%) mainly due to higher audit and MTR costs. The cost for progarmme staff was also slightly higher than planned (5%) due to the changes in staff and the extra costs for the M&E advisor and the management fee was slightly lower than budgeted (9%).",

"value": "Even though we have seen progress in hunger reduction globally, chronic household food security remains a challenge. It is estimated that around 795 million people are undernourished, with the majority living in developing countries. \n\nAround 500 million smallholder farmers produce 70% of the world’s food, and it is estimated that agriculture accounts for 40% of the world’s employment, with women contributing up to 60% of the labour for food production. Yet despite their contribution, women continue to be marginalised in household decision-making around income and asset distribution, and gain few of the benefits of land ownership. The real threat of climate change and extreme weather conditions, such as floods and droughts, has the greatest impact on people who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.Progress in tackling these issues was made in 2015, with world leaders and the global community at large continuing to set agriculture high on the political agenda. This commitment was emphasised through the agreement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the adoption by 195 countries of the first universal climate agreement at COP21",

"value": "As was foreseen in the KMHP Workplan 2017, with 2017 being an election year in Kenya, the risk of political unrest (risks 12 & 13 in the risk matrix) proved to be higher than in non-election years. Implementation of activites were hampered in and in general, economic activities slowed down during the whole of 2017 due to the political incertainty. Further, the risk of access to finance (risk 9 in the matrix) already stated in the Workplan as well, was confirmed again by the November Mid-Term Review (MTR) of KMHP. Although already initiatives have been undertaken in 2017 to mitigate this risk (starting dialogue with financial sector actors and development of initiatives for innovative finance solution (eg. meetings with Equity Bank and support to proposal on Agri-Wallet with Dodore to the Mastercard Foundation), more will need to be done to address these issues in a systemic way. In some of the business cases/regions also the drought had a negative effect on the results, as well as bad quality inputs (case of non-germination of canola seeds provided to farmers by Syngenta through Agventure). In general another risk is that changes in gender relations as well as adoption of more environmentally friendly practices proof to take a longer time than the span of the program.",

"value": "2017 has been a very productive year for HortIMPACT, with 3 new BCs approved and in total 9 BCs under implementation. In terms of results and targets, 2017 was a challenging year for hortIMPACT but overrall performance was on track. We missed our target by slightly over 3000 farmers, reaching 11312 farmers out of the 14595 planned. Two factors that had a direct impact on our program activities were the prolonged election period and drought. The elections were repeated, which meant we had to postpone some field activities. Drought on the other hand resulted in crop failure in different demonstration plots in some business cases/innovations. Unavailability of potato seed for business case 2 also led to delays in planting. \n\nImportant moment was the Mid-Term Review mission that took place in november and stated that the programme was well on track and well implemented. Recommendations in relation to scaling and inclusion of youth and women will be taken into account in the remaining two years of the programme, as well as linking more objective 1 with the systemic change to be reached in the sector under objective 2.\n\nThe KMHP Steering Committee met 3 times in 2017, of which 1 was in its extended form. 3 BCs were approved and 1 new Innovation Fund project. By the end of 2017, KMPH had completed 3 BCs and 7 under implementation, with the following results:\n\nUnder BC2, over 4000 farmers were trained in good farming practices at 45 sites spread across five counties. Five buyers/processors were linked with the farmers and started contracting, but challenges were unavailability of seeds of the desired processing varieties and dry weather conditions.\nThe end-line survey will be administered in August 2018 after the long rains production season.\n\nWith regard to the training of Spray Service Providers in BC3, at the end of 2017 a total of 481 SSP entrepreneurs have been trained in 6 counties, who reached out to an estimated 3805 farmers with their services. It’s worth noting that 3805 is a cumulative figure from 2016 all the way to 2017.The exact number of farmers and their feedback will be evaluated with the business case end line survey in February/March 2018 and potential for scaling will be assessed.\n\nBC4 with Agventure and Unilver, to increase rotating practices with canola, as part of Conservation Agriculture, ended in december 2017 and an evaluation is actually ongoing, to assess why only 32 farmers decided to plant of the more than 1000 farmers trained on rotation, benefits of canola, etc. Preliminary results indicate problems with the outreach strategy of the trainings, germination of seeds, lacking access to finance, drought and the “first see” mentality of farmers in case of new crops. The results of the qualitative assessment will serve as a better base for the SC to make a decision on a potential second phase.\n\nWith regard to BC5 with Latia, 13 Latia staff and 5 consultants were trained and they trained consequently 155 farmers on greenhouse production. What is an important aspect as well, is the fact that 30 farm owners and operators trained, came back to Latia for farm visit training and 2 farmers took up the staffing service, especially since the staffing service could sustain the training costs in the foreseen business model.\n\nThe Burton & Bamber business of dried mango managed to increase quality of their sourcing by certifying 22 farmers from Kilimambogo with Global GAP in August 2017 and to train another 50 from Kambuu Farmers Group, expected to be certified in the first months of 2018. B&B has reached out to another 900 farmers through the Charia group in Meru and groups in Murang’ a county to assess possibility to undergo training for certification. Also the activities to increase access to markets (participation in international fairs and development of packaging and marketing) have contributed to concrete links with European buyers and establishment of Sweetunda in the higher segment of the domestic market. A scaling exercise will be done with the partner to identify eventual further potential.\n\nUnder BC 7 1802 farmers were trained in 2017 to increase their productivity and food safety of green leafy vegetables. Also, the farmers have been linked to 5 buying companies (greengrocers, etc.).\n\nThe mechanization in the potato-value chain, stimulated with Agrimech under BC8 encountered some challenges, mainly the heavy rains in November and December that hampered mechanized planting. Only 1 of the 6 demonstration sites was established in 2017.The decision to continue after the pilot has been postponed till May fort his reason.\n\nBC 9 with Meru Greens started implementation in October 2017. Four cold storage sites have been identified and 900 farmers have been contracted and incorporated in the 2018 production plan of Meru Greens, who will receive training soon.\n\nFinally BC10 with Proportion/Vijana Reloaded, approved in 2017, just started in January with the market study to identify in 1 county what the demand by farmers would be of services to be provided by local young entrepreneurs.\n\nWith regard to the innovation projects, under the Ketchup project 35 farmers were trained and certified in the production of dried tomatoes, as well as an innovative solar dryer installed in Kwakyai, Makweni county, by a start-up company from the Netherlands. The drying process was FCCS certified and produced in 2017 the quantities for the processing in The Netherlands of 18,000 bottles of ketchup and is expected to increase to 40,000 bottles in 2018.\n\nIn the second innovation project in implementation in 2017, Livatty Africa, a local subsidiairy of Mivena Holdings, introduced the Controlled Release Fertilizer technology. Results were only clear in two of the twenty demonstration plots, that were institutionally controlled and had focussed farmer groups. In these two sites production increased substantially, while the other 18 sites had challenges with mainly delayed short rains of October/November, poor lead farm management, etc.\n\nWithin Objective 2 (sector engagment), the program has continued to work with relevant stakeholders, such as industry associations, national and county government institutions and knowledge platforms, as well in the Netherlands. In september 2017 a Fruits and Vegetables Conference was organized with stakeholders around food safety and KMHP supports information sharing in the potato value chain and supported field research for the Yielder innovation, a mobile application that will be applied in this value chains in 2018. \n\nAn important achievement under this objective was the establishment of the International Biological Manufacturers Association of IPM companies, to represent their interest, influence policies, etc.\n\nAlso two studies were engaged: one on the potential for horticulture in the Laikipia Nature Conservancy, which was postponed till the beginning of 2018 due to political tensions and one of two phases on the potential of potato storage, which focused on the product, the market and the business opportunities. A third, phase, developing concrete business plans, will start in 2018. One other study on the food safety at the city market of Nairobi by KHC was approved and will also start in 2018.\n\nFurther, discussions have been ongoing on ideas for further business cases (traceability system, food safety testing facility, etc.), which will hopefully lead to proposals to be presented for approval by the SC beginning of 2018.",

There is a good, valid ToC, based on a up to date sector analysis, relevant and aligned with government policy papers. The model of HortIMPACT is great for promoting Private Sector innovation, the BCs selected are good and the process is efficient. Food safety and food waste reduction are addressed as cross cutting themes, there is good leverage of funds from partners and early signs of impact are there.The field trainings are effective and final farmer field days are a good instrument for exchange and experience sharing.\n\nNext year attention should be paid to the points for improvement signaled: 1) Scaling: Start planning for scale earlier and put more attention to challenges for scale, link BCs more with overall systemic change, promote more strategic sharing and learning, think better about outreach strategy and communication and make more qualitative use of M&E data; 2) Inclusion of women and youth: Analyse the different situation of women and youth in terms of household tasks burden, access to resources and decision-making at household levels and in organizations and make strategies to address these; 3) Steering Committee: Include a 1-page on business feasibility with the proposals presented and include a representative of financial services and one of HCD in the Extended SC; Consortium: Look for more synergies with other SNV programmes and activities of other consortium members.",
