Over time, it expanded its activities to include cereal, short-term storage, and finding favourable markets for its produce. It has also been offering valuable services to smallholder farmers, allowing access to farm inputs on credit and in instalments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has, however, not always been an upward journey for Mbagara. In 1984, the cooperative collapsed due to poor management and the absence of a sustainability plan. Critics attributed the mismanagement to the dominance of elderly men in leadership roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New lease of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many years later, in 2018, the Kenya Cereals Enhancement Programme gave the cooperative a new lease of life, and since then, Mbagara has made remarkable progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe discovered that farmers could not get proper value for their products because middlemen would exploit them\u201d, explains Felix Wanjala, Vice-Secretary of Mbagara. \u201cIf you sell your products collectively, you have bargaining power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Members of a farmer cooperative in Kenya.\" class=\"wp-image-7027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Starlit-Kenya-Farmers-cooperative-2-59x44.jpg 59w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the Mbagara cooperative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Cordaid\u2019s Strengthening Agricultural Resilience Through Learning and Innovation (STARLIT) project, members of the Mbagara followed a training course called the Agribusiness Leadership Programme (ALP).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eye-opener<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An initial assessment before the start of the training turned out to be an eye-opener for the cooperative\u2019s management team. The assessment revealed crucial gaps and inspired the involvement of youth and women in their leadership structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn the training, we discovered that it is not enough to have youth and women only as our members, they also need to be at the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The cooperative started taking proactive steps to foster inclusion, specifically encouraging youth and women to take leadership roles and actively participate in decision-making processes. By doing this, Mbagara ensures its own sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe focused on learning about the gaps that led to the cooperative&#8217;s collapse, &#8221; says Felix Wanjala. \u201cIn the training, we discovered that it is not enough to have youth and women only as our members; they also need to be at the table. They actually make up the majority of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Mbagara has nearly 2,500 members drawn from over 70 groups and seven community-based organisations. Their leadership structure comprises a management committee of six men and three women, including four young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordaid implemented the STARLIT project in Kenya and Rwanda, targeting maize farmers in Kakamega County and Kayonza District.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Fund for Agricultural Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifad.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Fund for Agricultural Development<\/a> (IFAD) South-South Cooperation for a period of 18 months (January 2022 \u2013 June 2023).\u202fSTARLIT aligns with the China-IFAD South-South Cooperation Facility by supporting rural productivity, access to markets, increased income and food security and promoting South-South learning.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Agribusiness Leadership Programme (ALP) is a curriculum of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank. It was a key component of the STARLIT project in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the ALP curriculum is one of the standard tools available in the Agribusiness Market Ecosystems Alliance (AMEA) toolbox. Cordaid is the host and network facilitator of the AMEA Kenya local network, comprising 11 organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kenyan farmer cooperative Mbagara serves as an example of how inclusion and continuous learning can lead to progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"topic_tax":[10,35,33],"country_tax":[20],"class_list":["post-8768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","topic_tax-food-systems","topic_tax-gender-equity","topic_tax-youth","country_tax-kenya"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
