Farm Africa works with smallholder farmers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and DRC. With around 35 projects running across these geographies, Farm Africa works with a wide range of crops, as well as livestock and fish.
Crops that we work with include rice, maize, sorghum, sesame, sweet potatoes, sunflowers, cashew nuts and horticultural produce such as French beans, tomatoes, chilli peppers and kale. We also support communities producing forest-friendly products such as coffee and honey, and help livestock keepers rearing goats, cattle, sheep and poultry, and fish farmers producing tilapia and catfish.
The eligibility criteria to join our projects are usually decided jointly with the project donor. The criteria often include factors such as location, age, socio-economic background and experience and rely on a face-to-face registration process. Farm Africa is unable to respond to online enquiries to join a project. We are keeping this under review and when any changes are made to this we will publish them on our website.
Our current projects can be found here: https://www.farmafrica.org/where-we-work/where-we-work. Where projects have an application or external enquiry process this is included with the project information.
Our models of farmer engagement include training on financial management and business skills, market linkages, policy advocacy and facilitation. In the vast majority of cases, we do not provide funds directly to the communities we work with. Instead we link farmers with local sources of finance to ensure a sustainable system.

We have a number of manuals and training materials available through our website that we hope will be of use to you, please find out more here. Unfortunately we are not able to provide bespoke training due to the locality of our projects being quite specific.
Farmers should always bear in mind the information provided in our materials is localised to the climate, soil and market conditions of that area. We make available as much information as we can that is transferable into different geographical areas – but tailored local advice should always be sought.
