2020 Annual Resilience Measurement Study Report

3. There is need to put in place strategies that will see the government take up CAAP identified
and advocate for it and source for funding and mainstream this as part of their National
Development Plans (NDP) for sustainability.

4. The programme should consider follow-up and impacts tracing from their trainings, including
the GAP, VSLAs and TVETs trainings to document adoption and application of the skills among
the beneficiaries, with impacts on livelihoods and their resilience and sustainability.

5. The SomReP interventions like FMNR farms, kitchen gardens should be up-scaled to the other
villages within the region. Since intervention proofed to be successful and with great impact
on resilience of vulnerable households.

6. Some activities like community farmer groups should be up-scaled to individual farmers
support to have own gardens for maximum benefits. The group farms may not be giving full
benefits to members owing to larger membership. Even though we do recognize for individual
farmer support, more is needed in water availing support for this to be possible.

7. SomReP has worked with government staff who were seconded to the programmes for
capacity development, however, as it is, it is difficult to look at the impact of the
Secondment at all levels (short, medium and long, and thus strategies for monitoring and
documenting this would be great and allow for documentation of capacity enhancement and
localization.

8. The SomReP agro-pastoral districts should continue to be supported since most of the activities
were new to them and they still need close follow up and intensification of extension services
with follow-up for increased adoption. The present situation is there is low follow-up and lack
of government extension support, with only NGOs providing the support, with limited farmer
visitations.

9. The trainings on GAP and CAHWs are activities that need long-term support and SomReP
should consider further support to the government staff who are not presently adequately
supported and there is also need to have community ToTs strengthened to support with
extension services.

10. The farming communities need further support that build local capacity on inputs supply and
marketing of produce for increased sustainability. Currently the marketing is by lack and
depends on seasonal yields, with bumper harvest leading to crop losses from poor market
access and post-harvest handling challenges.

11. The VSLAs concept proves to have good success story from SomReP project, with women
having started their saving and credit provision support. This should be used as a case study by
SomReP and expand to more villages within the project areas and beyond.

12. The future SomReP programmes should increase propagation and planting of trees that
support apiculture to increase the benefits of farming beneficiaries. There is need to establish
community tree nurseries, of important fruit and high-value trees like Moringa oleifera for
agroforestry.

13. SomReP should invest in storage, processing and value addition in order to create great value
from the locally produced products by the supported groups. Most farmers reported that crop
losses are still a major challenge, especially with the perishable food crops.

14. Given the correlation between capacities and resilience indexes with animal health, water
projects as well as VSLA, TVET and crop production. These activities should be up-scaled and
sported to FastTrack the resilience building processes.

15. SomReP programme has contributed a lot with good success stories which should be well
packaged and shared to the world through various fora and publications. This could form
lessons for the future by the governments and other partners.

16. SomReP as a programme has not given effort on supporting livestock trade and value chain,
except on the tremendous work on addressing animal health and this gap should be
considered in the future.
