Partners of Kilimo Trust Up until June 2010 - Kilimo Trust was a grant making organization providing and managing grants to other NGOs in the EAC Region with resources from Gatsby Charitable Foundation and other Philanthropic
Organizations. In October 2010, Kilimo Trust made a bold decision to change its way of working from a grant maker to a Specialized Agency undertaking Direct Implementation and Management of programmes and projects in partnership with and/or on behalf of governments, international and regional organizations, and the private sector. We still remain focused on supporting the comercialisation of small and medium producers and other agro-entrepreneurs, but by embarking on this new path, Kilimo Trust is now more directly responsible for achieving verifiable results and outcomes for the programmes and projects it supports and implement. After making this decision we invested our own resources to initiate an Analysis and Scoping of Strategic Food Commodities in the EAC Region. The ambition is to provide evidence that can be used to articulate a regional collaborative and trade-based strategy for food security, as well as for enhanced income generation through agriculture. |
