  2. Outline • Background of my organisation • Implementation strategies • Plan to implement ABCD • Challenges • Opportunities

  3. Background • Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA) was funded in 1986 by Dr. Norman Borlaug (Nobel Laureate), Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa (Nippon Foundation Japan), and former US President Jimmy Carter. • SAA is an international agricultural development NGO registered in Geneva, Switzerland. • SAA has worked with the Carter Center’s Global 2000 Program to establish SasakawaGlobal 2000 (SG 2000) • SG 2000 Ethiopia was established In 1993. Works in all regions of the country. • The goal is to increase production and productivity and help achieve food security

  4. Implementation Strategies • Since 2010 the strategy focuses on value chain approach • 5 Thematic areas; • Crop productivity enhancement • Postharvest and agro processing • Public private partnership and market access • Human resource development • Monitoring, evaluation, learning and sharing

  5. Implementation Strategies • Main focus is on smallholder farmers and rural women • Works in collaboration with different partners • Ministry of Agriculture on overall project implementation • Other GOs; Research institutes, cooperative promotion, seed agency, women affairs • Donors; NF, BMGF, JICA, CIMMYT, WFP • NGOs; ATA, Oxfam America, WISE • Cooperatives (PCs, CUs) and farmer groups • Private companies and individuals

  6. Implementation Strategies • Need based approach • Farmers contribute their assets

  7. Plan to Implement ABCD • Feedback of ABCD training to the management • More detail reflection during quarterly staff meeting for half day. • Advantage of ABCD than need based approach • Briefly discuss ABCD tools • Plan with WISE to implement ABCD in one pilot area • Discuss with Oxfam Canada to get human resource support • Organize ToT for extension staff

  8. Plan to Implement ABCD • Facilitate training for leaders and active members of the group • Follow up the activities of the group • Identifying assets and opportunities (community mapping and leaky bucket) • Identifying low hanging fruits • Action planning • Evaluate their activities and plan for introduction of high hanging fruits

  9. Challenges • Changing the approach of the organisation might take time • Implementation might not possible in 2014 as panning time is over • Extension staff turnover and reshuffling

  10. Opportunities • Good culture of the organisation (flexibility if convinced ) • Availability of motivated farmer groups and leaders in the project areas • Availability of organisations who implemented ABCD
