These centers serve as pivotal hubs for disseminating knowledge, building capacity, and providing practical training for farmers. We are steadfast in our commitment to promoting regenerative agriculture practices, aimed at restoring and enhancing the natural resources and biodiversity within farming systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, our market-oriented agriculture initiatives are designed to strengthen value chains, enhance market accessibility, and empower farmers to engage in profitable agricultural enterprises. We believe that fostering entrepreneurship and market linkages can amplify income opportunities for smallholder farmers and contribute to their economic prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, our nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions emphasize the integration of diverse and nutritious crops into farming systems. This approach is aimed at improving dietary diversity and addressing the challenges of malnutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the concerted efforts of our dedicated team, partners, and the support of farmers, we have witnessed encouraging outcomes and impacts in the communities we serve.\u00a0 This special issue brings you inspiring success stories and testimonials from farmers and other value chain actors who have reaped the benefits of our interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wish to express my gratitude to all stakeholders, including farmers, local communities, government agencies, and our esteemed partners, for their unwavering support and commitment. Together, we are striving to build resilient and sustainable food systems that will contribute to the growth and prosperity of Mali.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let us continue to empower African farmers and nurture thriving communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hamado Tapsoba, PhD<br

that as of July 1, 2023, Dr. Amit Roy has assumed the position of Board Chair for the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA). Dr. Roy brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role, and we look forward to his leadership in guiding SAA toward its mission of building a resilient and sustainable food system in Africa. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our former Board Chair, Hon. Prof. Ruth Oniang\u2019o for her dedication and leadership for the past 13 years.<br \/>\nSee more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saa-safe.org\/news\/news.php?nt=1&amp;vid=466&amp;lng=usa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-top: 1px solid lightgray;border-bottom: none\" \/>\n<h4 style=\"color: #83af29;font-size: 24px;font-weight: 600;padding: 12px 0 0 0\">A message from Dr. Amit Roy, Board Chair<\/h4>\n<p>Dear friends and partners,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Hon. Prof. Ruth Oniang&#8217;o, my predecessor and a dear friend, for her exceptional leadership and unwavering dedication to SAA&#8217;s mission over the past 13 years. She has been an inspiring figure for all our staff and stakeholders and will continue to be one in her new role as an Honorable Advisor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I have known Dr. Norman Borlaug, and his achievements of establishing SAA with Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa and President Jimmy Carter, I feel a profound sense of responsibility and commitment to advancing SAA&#8217;s vision of fostering resilient and sustainable food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. To date, SAA has accomplished remarkable success in empowering smallholder farmers and improving their livelihoods through enhanced agricultural extension and advisory services, in collaboration with host governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I will be based at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA (SPF-USA) building in Washington DC. This move provides us with a unique platform to cultivate partnerships, advocate for resilient and sustainable food system in Africa, and address critical global challenges such as climate change and rising input costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I firmly believe in the power of innovation, knowledge sharing, and partnerships to drive agricultural transformation in Africa. Working alongside dedicated SAA staff, our esteemed partners, and the broader community, we will scale up successful initiatives and pioneer new approaches that empower farmers and contribute to sustainable food systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you for your steadfast support, and I am enthusiastic about embarking on this remarkable journey together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Warm regards,<br \/>\nDr. Amit Roy, Board Chair<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

delivered a sheller to the Nieta Cooperative in the Kamal\u00e9 Kak\u00e9l\u00e9 Village of Western Mali, there is evidence of empowerment and progress. The sheller was acquired with matching fund from the SAA with the Cooperative contributing 20% of the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Samanko Post Harvest and Trading Center (PHTC), from where the cooperative operates, today buzzes with energy and purpose as the Nieta members work tirelessly to enhance the quality of product like maize, millet, sohum, date and shea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The production is run by four individuals, carefully chosen and trained under SAA\u2019s Private Extension Service Provision (PESP) model, to provide post-harvest services to neighboring communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inspired by early business success, the members of the Nieta Cooperative, recently expanded their services by procuring a mill that not only presented a new chapter in their business but also became a pivotal turning point for the entire community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe cooperative&#8217;s relentless efforts are today bearing fruit, and we make monthly profits ranging from USD 83 to USD 108, a testament of our boundless potential,\u201d said the cooperative\u2019s manager, Modibo Keita.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet it is not just about the money; the impact has gone beyond the bottom line, with the cooperative bringing immeasurable relief to the community members, who no longer have to embark on long, arduous journeys in search of milling services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Such are the benefits of the PESP, which seeks to promote SAA\u2019s Market-oriented Agriculture (MOA) strategy, while minimizing postharvest losses in rural areas. Through the PESP, SAA helps groups and individuals to acquire post-harvest\/agro-processing machinery such as grain hullers and flour mills, enabling them to provide value-added services to their

inspiring vegetable garden comprising okra, potatoes, onions, and carrots. The garden is at the heart of the newly established Enterprise Center (EC), a visionary project made possible by SAA-Mali&#8217;s unwavering support as part of its contribution for innovation, learning, and entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the EC, students embrace the learning-by-doing model, plunging their hands into the soil and enjoying the rewards of their efforts. The irrigation equipment provided by SAA-Mali allows them to cultivate crops effectively, demonstrating transformative power of technology in agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The EC has also grown to be a source of inspiration for the surrounding communities, introducing members to the principles of Market-oriented Agriculture (MOA), as envisioned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jica.go.jp\/english\/activities\/issues\/agricul\/shep\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JICA&#8217;s Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP)<\/a> and SAA&#8217;s visionary &#8220;Grow to Sell&#8221; strategies. These strategies aim to enhance farmers\u2019 entrepreneurial skills, breaking the cycle of poverty, and improve household nutrition at the community level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seydou Coulibaly, a supervisor at the Agricultural Learning Center (CAA) of Samanko, proudly praises the EC as a key platform that bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Enterprise Center has become a springboard for many graduates, fueling their passion for agricultural entrepreneurship. These enterprising individuals have returned to their communities as beacons of change, not just as job seekers, creating job opportunities for the youth where none existed before,\u201d he

style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sounkoura Traore, a member of the Mintiguila Cooperative, based in the Koulikoro region of Western Mali, says the training he received from SAA under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jica.go.jp\/english\/activities\/issues\/agricul\/shep\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP)<\/a> strategy has transformed his outlook of agriculture, and improved his income.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The SHEP model was adopted by SAA from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to influence smallholder farmers\u2019 production by placing market demand at the center of all their operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under the expert guidance of SAA, 40 vegetable producers, including 20 women, from Koulikoro\u2019s Guessebougou and Mintiguila cooperatives were equipped with the knowledge on market survey techniques, crop selection strategies, and the art of crop calendar implementation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With newfound insights into customer preferences and needs, Traore and his fellow farmers have forged invaluable relationships with their target buyers, securing a sustainable market for their produce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI have been engaged in farming for more than 20 years but had never considered what customers want. But with the knowledge I learned from SAA on the SHEP concept, I learned that I need to first find customers and then produce knowing that I have somewhere to sell,\u201d Traore said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the training on market survey, the producers selected profitable vegetables (tomato, bell pepper, and onion), which they cultivated after the SAA equipped them with 5.8 kg of improved seeds, 6 tons of manure, 20 plastic watering cans, 6 rolls of fences, and technical support on good agronomic practices and post-harvest management. After harvest, the farmers generated USD 1,739 in product sales, including USD 1,631 from 0.33ha of tomatoes and USD 108 from 0.14ha of bell pepper. The income enabled the Mintiguila Cooperative to set up a revolving fund for its members to purchase agricultural inputs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDuring the market survey, we made good relationships with customers enabling us grow knowing that we have customers. I now earn enough money to cover the school fees for my children and also contribute to the upkeep of my family,\u201d said Traore. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just five years ago, Mrs. Sanata Coulibaly Kone, from the Koloni-Boundio Village in South-west Mali, was struggling to take care of her family, as she entirely relied on her husband, a person living with disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, things changed for her when she attended a one-week SAA training in 2017, which covered the processing of maize into yogurt, locally called kaba n\u00f4n\u00f4, and fonio into doughnuts, cakes, and biscuits. Eager to change the fortunes of her family, Sanata started an enterprise around the production of maize yogurt, which she sells within her village and during the weekly market at Boundioba, a neighboring village 3km away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She makes the yogurt from a specific white maize variety, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dembagnuma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d, which contains high levels of essential nutrients such as zinc, protein, and Vitamin A. The maize used is partly sourced from her own production and other farmers in her village cooperative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, Sanata processes 2.85 kg of maize to produce 28 bottles of 33cl yogurt, which she sells at FCFA 250 per unit. This generates her a daily net profit of FCFA 3,580 (USD 5.85) for total of FCFA 25,060 (USD 40.94) per week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThese increasing revenues have enabled me to comfortably take care of my family\u2019s daily expenses, pay my dues to the cooperative and other social groups, purchase agricultural inputs, and cover other expenses for my maize and rice farms, while relieving my husband of some responsibilities,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2022, she opened an account with a local bank, where she is saving towards expanding her business, for increased income and the creation of employment opportunities for others in her community.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

2023, farmers in the Guessebougou Postharvest and Trading Center (PHTC) extracted eight tons of compost from a pit they set up in December 2022, as part of the SAA\u2019s Regenerative Agriculture (RA) initiative. The compost was enough to cover 2.5 hectares of land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The initiative aims to raise awareness on the benefit of compost in sustaining higher crop yields and reducing farmers\u2019 overreliance on inorganic fertilizers. The training sought to show farmers how to enhance soil fertility through the proper integration of crops and livestock, while limiting the expenditure on expensive inorganic fertilizers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A total of 40 farmers, including 20 women, from 10 villages learned about the steps for producing high-quality compost using

training programs for agricultural extension agents by all agricultural colleges in Mali. This is following its approval during a curriculum revision session held in March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The model seeks to involve smallholder farmers, who normally cultivate crops for sustenance and trade, in the production of high-quality seeds for reproduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A validation exercise held in January, by

29, 2023, SAA organized a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of One Stop Center Associations (OSCAs) for two Multipurpose Agricultural Cooperatives in Uganda. Japan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is funding the establishment of the centers in the northeastern districts of Kole and Napak. Partners and local government officials attended the ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each center will be equipped with a bulking store, office, irrigation facility, agro-input shop, a maize mill, a maize huller, a generator, and a one-acre plot for vegetable production to promote market-oriented agriculture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAA&#8217;s Deputy Country Director, Joseph Bbemba, announced that the One-Stop Agricultural Centers will enhance agricultural development in the districts, providing farmers with the tools, knowledge, and services for productivity and profitability, helping reduce poverty, and improve food security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The centers demonstrate the importance of support to the government&#8217;s efforts in modernizing agricultural value chains, as a way of promoting sustainable agriculture development in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

carried out in the preceding quarter, and its plans for the next one. This was followed by presentations by State Coordinators, paving the way for in-depth review of interventions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was noted that SAA\u2019s strategies, especially the introduction of new improved varieties, the use of compost, and training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) are contributing significantly to the improvement of yields, incomes and livelihoods of people in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Permanent Secretary of the Gombe State Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Ibrahim Yakubu, lauded SAA, which he described as a major pillar in the support of agricultural extension in his state through innovative farm technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>SAA Nigeria\u2019s country
