Commitment description
Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA) surely commits to improve nutritional status of 22,000 smallholder farmers in total in Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria and Uganda through a holistic approach combining Nutrition-sensitive Agriculture (NSA) with Regenerative Agriculture (RA) and Market-oriented Agriculture (MOA) in a complementary manner (See the attached concept note for details).
SAA sets three measurable goals with the budget of $4,800,000 for five years (2021-2025);
1) Extension agents and smallholder farmers are properly trained on sustainable production, processing and consumption of nutritious crops (biofortified crops, legumes, vegetables, etc.) and quality control of stored agricultural products,
2) Extension agents and smallholder farmers are properly trained on market-oriented farming and/or agribusiness so that the farmers' purchasing powers of nutritious foods are enhanced by increased incomes, and
3) Extension agents and smallholder farmers are properly trained on food diversification with gender-sensitive awareness-raising of nutrition.
