1. Executive Summary

The implementation of the project activities was done as per the 2011work plans and budgets with minor adjustments on the scheduling of some activities. In component 1, the main focus during the period under review (January – June 2011) was the finalisation of the report of the baseline study conducted in 2010 outlining the key constraints related to cotton production and marketing issues in the target project sites in Kenya and Mozambique. The key findings of the survey and the status of the ongoing project activities in Kenya were disseminated during the Fibre Crops Agricultural Product Value Chains (APVC) Analysis Workshop held (26 th - 28th April 2011), at Egerton University Njoro, Kenya. The purpose of the workshop was to analyse and prioritise the constraints and opportunities, and identify priority upgrading projects that contribute to sustainable development of the fibre crops sub-sector. Using the Framework for African Agricultural Productivity (FAAP) criteria for prioritising selected potential APVC, the cotton value chain was ranked first in the fibre crops sub-sector. The outcome of the workshop are being used by Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and the Cotton Development Authority (CODA) in designing demand driven agricultural research for development programmes for cotton, capable of contributing significantly to the national and regional development goals.

In Mozambique, the results of the baseline survey were presented during a Cotton Stakeholder’s Meeting (Cotton General Council) in Nampula (8th – 9th April 2011), chaired by the Minister for Agriculture. The report was well received and the General Council recommended that the study be extended to other cotton production zones beyond the target project areas in Mozambique. Preparation of a scientific paper on a comparative analysis of production practices and post-harvest handling of cotton by smallholder farmers in Kenya and Mozambique for presentation during the World Cotton Research Conference in India (7th -11th November, 2011) is in progress. In addition, collation of information on Integrated Crop Management (ICM) of cotton was done during the implementation of the season-long Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) established in 2010/11 cropping season. The information is being used to refine the training curriculum, incorporated in a draft training manual, for the upcoming cropping season 2011/12. Following the discontinuation of the project activities (December 2011) in the target project sites in Sofala by China Cotton Africa Mozambique, which took over the Companhia Nacional Algodeira (CNA) concession, new project sites were successfully identified in January/February 2011. The new project sites include Ribaue and Lalaua districts in the OLAM Ribauae concession in Nampula.

The main activity in Component 2 was the continuation of the capacity building for farmers on Integrated Crop Management (ICM) through FFSs as well as mentoring and backstopping of the FFS facilitators. In Kenya, 15 new FFSs groups with a total of 554 members (>30% female farmers) were established (February/March 2011) in Baringo North, Lamu West and Tana delta districts. The group members identified their respective FFS sites, selected ICM technologies for evaluation in Participatory Technology Development (PTD) trials including; pest management options, plant spacing/density, intercropping, soil fertility, time of planting, weeding and tillage options. Cotton was planted in the PTD trials in April/May 2011, based on the onset of the rains, and agro-ecosystem analysis (AESA) at these FFS sites is ongoing. For the 15 FFSs that were established in October/November 2010 in the eastern region (Kathonzweni, Tharaka South and Kitui Central districts) harvesting of cotton (normally end in August) is ongoing and the FFSs members have already conducted 5-10 AESA sessions. Through scouting of pests done during AESA, the participating in the FFSs in Kathonzweni district reduced the number of sprays from 12 to six during the current season. Eight local (February – March 2011) and one regional (23rd

June 2011) farmer field days were conducted at the FFS sites in the eastern region, and attended by approximately 600 cotton farmers (58% female).

In Mozambique, the year 2011 began with replanting activities in almost 60% of the 13 FFSs established in Mecuburi, Monapo and Meconta districts in Nampula as a result of erratic rains during planting (December 2010). Although by end of June 2011 AESA data collection was still in progress, the participating farmers were particularly happy with the strip intercropping as this guarantees them both food and cash. Cotton production in Mozambique is male dominated but the strip intercropping encouraged the participation of women in the FFS activities, given that women are culturally devoted to production of food crops. Practical (hands-on) refresher training on FFS methodologies and cotton ICM for the facilitators of the ongoing FFSs was conducted (6 th - 10th

June 2011) in Nampula. Among the 38 participants (8% women) present at the training included a group of leading farmers and representatives from four local farmer associations and the National Forum of Cotton Producers (FONPA). A revised manual (Manual Sobre o Maneio Integrado da Cultura do Algodão), on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of cotton have been developed.

In Component 3, the existing systems for delivery of inputs and technical support in Kenya and Mozambique were discussed during the stakeholder workshops mentioned in Component 1 both in Kenya and Mozambique. In Kenya, some farmers in Baringo North district received some inputs from Salawa Ginneries, whereas approximately 100 farmers in Lamu West district received some credit support for purchase of inputs from Equity Bank. Documentation of the lessons learnt including the process involved from the few farmers who received inputs is underway. However, the majority of farmers have limited access to credit facility. In Mozambique, it was observed that the credit scheme offered by IFDC is currently not available to cotton farmers. Alternative sources of credit schemes are being explored in both countries.

In Component 4, the results of the baseline survey, outlining the pre-adoption socio-economic situation and production practices in Kenya and Mozambique are contained in the report mentioned under Component 1. In addition, during the period under review, a survey was conducted in (May 2011) in three non-adopting districts (Makindu, Magarini and Baringo Central). A participatory tool for the evaluation of the Cotton ICM technologies being evaluated in the FFS in both Kenya and Mozambique was developed. A cost benefit analysis will be undertaken at the end of the harvesting period in the respective project areas.

Under project management and coordination (Component 5), the Project Executing Agency (PEA) and the Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) completed and submitted the Annual technical and financial reports (January – December 2010) as well as the Annual work plans and budgets for the second year (January – December 2011). An audit report for January –December 2010 was prepared and submitted to CFC. The PEA provided financial training (8 th – 9th March 2011) to a new project accountant in Mozambique. A project Steering Committee Meeting was conducted (7th April 2011) in Kenya during which, a representative from the Ministry of Agriculture was co-opted. The PEA, represented by Dr George Oduor and Dr Daniel Karanja, made a presentation on “Increasing smallholder cotton production efficiency in Kenya and Mozambique” during the Pan-African Cotton Meeting (27th - 29th June 2011) in Cotonou, Benin. The objective of this high-level multi-stakeholder conference was to define a Road Map for the cotton sector in Africa for the next 10 years.

During the current period under review, it was evident that the training of trainers can play a major role in mainstreaming cotton ICM into government research and extension services. However, development of a sustainable system depends on retraining extensionists as learning facilitators. The lack or inadequate availability of quality seeds locally is a major hindrance to improve yields and income for rural livelihood in the project area and the cotton production zones in general. Innovative strategies are required to encourage more participation of women in the FFSs, particularly in Mozambique.

As part of forward planning, the key focus for the next six months will include both continuation and initiation of some activities in Kenya and Mozambique. The scientific paper referred above on comparative analysis of production practices and post-harvest handling of cotton by smallholder farms in Kenya and Mozambique will be finalised. The collection and collation of AESA data, from the on-going FFSs in Kenya (30) and Mozambique (13), as well as the other information being captured using the validated protocols for tracking progress towards achieving the desired outcomes and impact of the project will be analysed and report produced. Additional local farmers’ field days (one per FFS) will be conducted at selected FFS sites in Tharaka, Baringo North, Tana Delta and Lamu West districts. Two ToT workshops will be conducted (July and November 2011) for new FFSs facilitators and 30 new FFS will be established in October/November in the Eastern region of Kenya. In Mozambique, two ToT workshops for FFSs facilitators will be conducted (September and November 2011), 25 new FFSs established and the revised IPM manual printed and disseminated. The lessons learnt from the existing credit schemes in Kenya and Mozambique will be documented. As part of project management and coordination, the PEA will continue providing financial backstopping on a need basis to the PIAs, and coordination of scheduled activities in Kenya and Mozambique. The PEA will also work closely with the PIAs to develop work plans and budgets for Year 3 (January – December 2012) and organise exchange/field visits. A project’s annual review and planning meeting is scheduled for 14th – 15th December 2011 in Mozambique. The PEA/PIAs will also participate and make presentations during other upcoming national and/or regional meetings/workshops.

In conclusion, the implementation of the project activities is on course but there is need to provide continuous technical support to the FFS facilitators, including frontline extension staff from the Ministry of Agriculture and private sector extension service providers, as well as farmers in both Kenya and Mozambique. The availability of affordable and sustainable credit schemes to the cotton farmers is still a major concern.

2. Status of project implementation

Planned Activities Targets Set Present Status RemarksComponent 1: Best practice ICM packages formulatedActivity 1.1: Participatory analysis of needs and constraints of farmers and markets

Needs and constraints of farmers and markets identified

Report of the baseline study conducted (in 2010) in six pilot districts (Tharaka South, Kitui central, Kathonzweni, Lamu West, Tana Delta and Baringo North) in Kenya was completed. The key findings were disseminated during the Fibre Crops Agricultural Products Value Chains (APVC) Analysis stakeholder workshop (26th - 28th April 2011) at Egerton University, Njoro, Kenya.

In Mozambique, the results of the baseline study conducted in the six pilot districts (Chemba, Maringue, Caia, Mecuburi, Monapo and Meconta) and the comparison districts (Gorongosa and Muecate) districts in Sofala and Nampula, respectively was presented during the Cotton Stakeholder’s Meeting (Cotton General Council) in Nampula (8th – 9th April 2011), chaired by the Minister for Agriculture.

Scientific paper (Abstract) for the World Cotton Research Conference -5 (scheduled, 7th -11th November 2011) was drafted for wider dissemination of the results of the baseline study.

Conducted (May/June 2011) a survey (50 farmers per district) in two control (non-adopting) districts (Baringo and Makindu). Survey in the third control district (Magarini) and data processing will be completed within the next reporting period.

Following discontinuation of the project activities by China Africa Cotton Mozambique (new concessionaire after the exit of CNA) in Chemba, Maringue and Caia districts (Sofala province) a situation analysis in the newly identified districts (Ribaue and Lalaua) within OLAM Ribaue concession is scheduled for August/September 2011.

Collate information for refining the ICM models during implementation of the season-long FFSs

Cotton ICM FFSs protocol was developed and distributed to the FFS facilitators (Kenya and Mozambique) and extension technicians (from the cotton companies in Mozambique).

The information collated (on-going) during the implementation of the season-long FFSs established in 2010/11 is being incorporated in a draft training manual and used to refine the training curriculum for the next cropping season (2011/12).

Target fully met – this is an ongoing activity

Component 2: Adoption of ICM packages promotedActivity 2.3: Selection of demonstration sites from existing FFS

Demonstration sites from existing FFS identified in the pilot districts

In Kenya, 15 new cotton FFSs with a total of 554 farmers (54.2% female) were formed in Baringo North (Rift valley), Tana Delta and Lamu West (Coast) districts following sensitisation meetings conducted (January/February 2011) by the trained FFS facilitators (15) in their respective districts. Subsequently, 15 FFS study plots were identified, validated and the respective soil fertility status determined – soil samples collected and analysed at KARI-Kabete soil survey laboratory.

In Mozambique, two new districts (Ribaue and Lalaua) were identified (February/March 2011) in Nampula but formation of FFSs and site selection is scheduled for next reporting period.

Target fully met

Activity 2.4: Establishment of on-farm demonstrations plots within selected FFS

Identified on-farm demonstration plots established

The 15 FFS sites in Kenya (selected in Activity 2.3) were ploughed and participatory technology development (PTD) trials established (April/May 2011) in Baringo North, Tana Delta and Lamu West districts. The technologies being evaluated in the PTD plots as prioritised by the participating farmers include pest management options (3FFSs), spacing and plant populations (2FFSs), intercropping options (4FFSs), soil fertility (3FFSs), time of planting (1FFS), and tillage options (1FFS). With support of their respective facilitators, members of each FFS developed a programme for the season-long trainings including the frequency of meetings to conduct AESAs (see Activity 2.5).

In Mozambique, no new FFS were established within the current reporting period but due to poor germination, resulting from erratic rainfall, some PTD plots were replanted in January 2011.

Planned Activities Targets Set Present Status RemarksActivity 2.5: Conduct farmer-participatory agro-ecosystem analysis (AESA) at selected demonstration sites

AESA conducted at the established demonstration/FFSs plots

The already running 15 FFS established in October 2010 (with 408 members, 39.2% female) in Kathonzweni, Tharaka South and Kitui Central districts in Kenya continued with their weekly/ fortnightly ICM training and AESA programs. By end of June 2011, each FFS had conducted 10-13 AESA sessions. Topic covered during the training sessions included identification of cotton pests and their management options, harvesting and grading of seed cotton and factors affecting lint quality. In the 15 newly established FFSs in Baringo North, Tana Delta and Lamu West districts, 1-3 AESAs had been conducted by end of June, and the topics covered included land preparation/tillage options, time of planting, plant spacing/density, pest management, soil fertility management and weeding.

In Mozambique, participating farmers in the ongoing 13 FFSs in Mecuburi, Monapo and Meconta districts conducted AESAs fortnightly from February2011 after replanting in January 2011 due to poor germination caused by lack of enough rainfall after the first planting (December 2010). The FFS facilitators had difficulties in conducting AESAs hence, refresher training was organised (see Activity 2.6).

Activity continues in the next reporting period in line with the cropping season

Activity 2.6: Mentor and backstop trainers as they train farmers

FFS facilitators mentored and backstopped

The project team/master trainers (CABI, KARI and CODA) conducted six mentoring and backstopping visits to all the 30 FFS sites in Kenya within the current reporting period. During the visits, the importance of destroying cotton stalks from previous season crop was re-emphasised. The designing and farmer evaluation of the ICM options being validated, financial management and record keeping was revisited.

In Mozambique, in addition to monthly mentoring visit by IAM technical staff, a joint mentoring and backstopping visit was conducted (14th -18th March 2011) by the project team/master trainers from CABI, IAM and SANAM to the FFS sites. Given that the majority of the FFS facilitators (extension officers from the private companies) in Mozambique are not used to participatory techniques and tools including conducting AESAs, a hands-on refresher ToT (total of 38 participants, 13.2% women)

Activity continues in the next reporting period

Planned Activities Targets Set Present Status Remarkson FFS methodologies and cotton ICM was conducted (6th – 12th June 2011) by CABI’s Farmer Participatory Training and Research Expert with support from IAM project’s National Coordinator in Nampula. Participants included leading farmers, representatives from four local farmer associations and the National Forum of Cotton producers (FONPA). During the ToT the topic on “Quality control and post-harvest handling” was conducted by a Cotton Fibre Classing technician from IAM-Beira

Due to the expressed need for an in-depth training on pest management by the FFS facilitators in Mozambique, a three days practical ToT on IPM will be conducted before the 2011/12 planting season. Participants will also include extensionists from OLAM Ribaue Concession and FFS facilitators from the new project sites in Ribaue and Lalaua districts.

Activity 2.7: Dissemination of best ICM strategy through farmer field days and mass media

Best ICM strategy promoted through field days and mass media

Eight local field days were held (March 2011) at various FFSs; 5 in Kathonzweni, 2 in Tharaka South and 1 in Kitui Central districts), where >600 farmers (58% female) participated. In addition, one regional field day was conducted (23rd June 2011) in Kathonzweni District (Kitise location) and attend by a wide range of stakeholders including: representatives from Kitise Rural Development, World Vision, Catholic Relief Services, Farm Concern International, Makueni ginneries, Sygenta, Twiga Chemical Industries Ltd., Farmer groups and Athiani cotton FFS. The main technologies demonstrated during the field days included early planting and response of cotton crop to application of fertiliser. Field days in Tharaka, Baringo North, Tana Delta and Lamu West districts are scheduled in next reporting period.

Two newspaper articles to showcase the projects activities were published in the Business Daily (7th February 2011) and the Financial Journal (8th February 2011) in Kenya.

A manual (Manual Sobre o Maneio Integrado da Cultura do Algodão), on Integrated Pest Management developed in the last reporting period is being revised to incorporate a Chapter on FFS methodology and recommendations of a recent broader study (April 2011) on training needs for both extensionists and farmers

Component 3: Stakeholders linkages for sustaining ICM builtActivity 3.2: Hold workshops and plan /review pilot schemes

Conduct meetings with stakeholders to identify pilot scheme to be tested

The existing systems for delivery of inputs and technical support in Kenya and Mozambique were discussed during the stakeholder workshops mentioned in Component 1 both in Kenya and Mozambique (see Activity1.1).

In Kenya, some farmers in Baringo North district received some inputs from Salawa Ginneries, whereas some farmers near the project sites in Lamu West district received credit support for purchase of inputs from Equity Bank. However, the majority of farmers still have limited access to credit facility.

A draft of CODA’s proposed model on credit scheme was completed and circulated to the members of the Project Steering Committee for further inputs/comments.

In Mozambique, it was observed that the credit scheme offered by IFDC is currently not available to cotton farmers. There is only one supplier (AgriFocus) of cotton pesticides among other inputs (inorganic fertilisers, sprayers and protection equipment) in Mozambique. As a result, to obtain small quantities and different combinations as commonly used by the cotton companies in bulk remains a major challenge but negotiations between IAM and AgriFocus are ongoing.

Alternative sources of credit schemes (providing affordable credit facility to farmers) are being explored in both countries.

Target fully met –this is an ongoing activity

Activity 3.3: Implement/ adapt pilot schemes

Pilot schemes implemented in the target pilot districts

Documentation of the lessons learnt including the process involved from the few farmers who received the inputs in Kenya and Mozambique (from SANAM) are underway.

3. Resource Utilisation

The budget utilisation during the period accounted for US$149,194.06, being total expenditure between January and June 2011. The total budget for 2011 is US $594,666.81 (CFC/EU US$512,217.65 and Counterpart contribution US$82,449.15) against an actual expenditure of US$149,194.06 being 29% total budget utilisation. The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) has so far disbursed US $197,565.51 (see details in Annexes 1 and 2).

The expenditure by component in relation to the budget is as follows; Specific 1- 18%, Specific 2 - 30%, Specific 3 - 36%, Specific 4 -8% and Specific 5-34%. The overall budget is 29% as mentioned above.

The claim process has been more efficient compared to 2010. The partners have been submitting their claims bi-monthly and in good time.

Generally, the cash flows for the project have been efficient and effective following timely disbursements by the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC). We hope that the process will remain efficient to enable the project activities progress as planned.

PEA has enhanced the level of communication with partners on financial matters. Issues raised by partners have been addressed amicably; claims are now being received bi-monthly and a lot of improvement has been evidenced from the consistency of claims and it is hoped that this will continue during the coming and subsequent reporting periods. It is also worth mentioning that with the support from CFC, partners have had a smooth implementation of planned activities due to adequate cash flows and supervisory follow up by the project co-ordinator. The PEA has also enhanced its processing time which has resulted in improved quality of claims from partners.

4. Assessment of project co-ordination and management

The coordination and management of project during the period under review went on well as planned with minor changes in the project coordination team. In Kenya, Mr Alphonce Werah (new Finance and Administration Manager, CABI Africa) took over as the new Project Accountant for the PEA from May 2011. In Mozambique, Ms Rosa Meque was appointed (February 2011) as the new project accountant, on an interim basis, pending recovery of Mr Joao Cossa, who was on a long sick leave. To ensure a smooth transition, the PEA conducted a hands-on training (8th - 9th March 2011) for the new project accountant in Mozambique to acquaint her with the CFC Financial and administration procedures. Mr Joao Cossa has since recovered and resumed his duties on 15th June 2011.

During the current period under review, the Project Steering Committee (PSC) in Kenya was expanded to include a senior representative from the Ministry of Agriculture. Ms Jane Nzesya Maundu (Crops Department) was nominated to represent the Director of Agriculture and was officially incorporated as a member of the PSC in Kenya during the PSC meeting held on 7 th

April 2011. There have been no changes in the membership of the PSC in Mozambique. With the discontinuation of the project activities (December 2011) in the original target project sites in Sofala by China Cotton Africa Mozambique, which took over from Companhia Nacional Algodeira (CNA) concession, the project coordination team successfully identified (January/February) new projects sites in Ribaue and Lalaua districts within the OLAM Ribauae concession in Nampula. Continuous technical and financial backstopping by the

13

PEA including bimonthly cash flow reconciliation has ensured accelerated implementation and timely delivery of the project outputs.

The project coordination team has initiated and maintained contacts with national, regional and pan-African cotton initiatives through effective linkage with the Coordinator (Mr. Fred Kong’ong’o) of the East Africa EU All ACP Program/Common Market for East and Southern Africa (COMESA), Southern African Development Community (SADC), East African Community (EAC), African Cotton and Textile Industries Federation (ACTIF) and Cos-Cotton on the framework of EU-Africa Cotton partnership. The PEA, represented by Dr George Oduor and Dr Daniel Karanja, made a presentation on “Increasing smallholder cotton production efficiency in Kenya and Mozambique” during the Pan-African Cotton Meeting (27th - 29th June 2011) in Cotonou, Benin. The objective of this high-level multi-stakeholder conference was to define a Road Map for the cotton sector in Africa for the next 10 years. The PEA will also actively participate in other upcoming regional meetings/workshops scheduled in the next reporting period.

5. Assessment of Technical Progress

The implementation of the planned project activities under all the five components in Kenya and Mozambique are on course. Among the key activities undertaken during the current period under review include the finalisation of the report of the baseline survey conducted in the project sites in Kenya and Mozambique. The findings of the survey (Component 1) has been instrumental in the designing of the ToT curriculum on cotton ICM as well as the capacity building programme through the season-long training of farmers in the FFSs. The results of the survey have already been shared with local stakeholders in the both countries. In Kenya, the survey report was among the main reference documents during a fibre crops sub-sector analysis and priority setting stakeholders workshop held on 26 th to 28th April 2011 at the Agricultural Resource Center, Egerton University, Njoro organised by KARI and the Kenyan Cotton Development Authority (CODA). The purpose of the workshop was to analyse and prioritise the constraints and opportunities, and identify priority upgrading projects that contribute to sustainable development of the fibre crops sub-sector. Using the Framework for African Agricultural Productivity (FAAP) criteria1 for prioritising selected potential APVC, the cotton value chain was ranked first in the fibre crops sub-sector. The outcome of the workshop are now being used in designing demand driven agricultural research for development programmes for cotton capable of contributing significantly to the national and regional development goals. In Mozambique, the results of the baseline survey were presented during the Cotton Stakeholder’s Meeting (Cotton General Council) in Nampula (8th – 9th April 2011), chaired by the Minister for Agriculture. The report was well received and the General Council recommended that the study be extended to other cotton production zones beyond the target project area in Mozambique. Preparation of a scientific paper on a comparative analysis of production practices and post-harvest handling of cotton by smallholder farmers in Kenya and Mozambique for presentation during the World Cotton Research Conference-5 in India (7th -11th November, 2011) is in progress.

In Component 2, the key milestone accomplished during the current period under review was the continuation of the capacity building programme through season-long training of farmers on cotton ICM through FFSs in both countries. In Kenya, besides the continuation of the 15 FFSs established in October 2010 (in Tharaka South, Kitui Central and Kathonzweni

districts), 15 new FFSs were formed (January/February 2011) in three new districts (Lamu West, Tana Delta and Baringo North). The selection of an appropriate site for a study plot for each FFS in the new districts was completed in March 2011. Before planting, soil samples were collected from each site and analysed at the KARI soil survey laboratory in Nairobi. The results of the soils analysis (Tables 1 - 3) including specific recommendations were discussed with the respective members of the FFSs. The results of the soil analysis showed that soils at all FFSs sites in Baringo North, Lamu West and Tana Delta districts had low levels of nitrogen and organic matter. Other key elements that were at low levels in some of the soil samples included phosphorous, calcium and zinc. The soil pH was satisfactory for growing cotton but varied among the different FFSs i.e. 5.1 - 6.6, 5.4 – 6.2 and 6.0 – 7.1 in Baringo North, Lamu West and Tana Delta districts, respectively.

After the determination of the technologies to be tested in the study plots (Table 4) in the three new districts, through a farmer-participatory process, ploughing and planting of cotton seeds (variety KSA 81M) supplied by CODA was done in April/May 2011. The cotton had already established in all FFSs by end of June 2011 (Plate 1) but the crop was at different stages of growth due to the differences in the time of onset and distribution of the rains.

The already running 15 FFS established in October 2010 (with 408 members, 39.2% female) in Kathonzweni, Tharaka South and Kitui Central districts in Kenya continued with their weekly/ fortnightly ICM training and AESA programs in the current reporting period. As at end of June 2011, the FFSs were still on-going and the AESA data was being collated. The preliminary findings from AESA showed that when using calendar based spray regimes, cotton farmers in Kathonzweni district normally spray once per fortnight from squaring to end of season and eventually end up with nine or 12 sprays. However, farmers from Kiuuku, Mavindini, Athiani, Tawa wa Aimi and Kanthuni FFSs in Kathonzweni made an average of six sprays during the current season. This was partly attributed to the weekly pest scouts conducted during AESA. The AESA activity integrates observations, participant experiences and decision-making into one activity. The process of AESA allows participants’ experience and knowledge to be brought together with new ecological concepts thus enabling participants to take judicious decision for specific pest management practices. During this activity, farmers have an opportunity to explain and defend their decisions. The process increases the confidence and skill of farmers, as well as building group cohesion.

There was very poor distribution of rainfall during the cropping season from the beginning of the cropping season (October 2010) until the end of June 2011. For example, in Kathonzweni district, the total monthly rainfall ranged from 3.7 - 138.1 mm, recorded in December and November 2010, respectively (Figure 1).

Figure 1. The rainfall distribution in Kathonzweni district in Kenya during the 2010/11 cropping season as at end of June 2011.

In Mozambique, the crop established well after the replanting that was done in the majority of the FFSs in Mecuburi, Monapo and Meconta districts in January 2011, as result of poor germination of the initial seeds planted in December 2010 caused by delay in the onset of the rains. By end of June 2011, the participating farmers with the guidance of their respective facilitators were continuing with the AESA and harvesting, in line with the cropping season. Hence, the analysed data will be made available during the next reporting period. The strip

intercropping of cotton with food crops (maize and soybeans) was well received by the farmers, particularly women who are culturally devoted to production of food crops. Mentoring and backstopping of the FFSs facilitators as they train the farmers was a major activity undertaken by the project team (CABI, KARI and CODA) during the period under review. In Kenya, where the majority of the FFSs facilitators were extensionists from the Ministry of Agriculture, the FFS facilitators effectively implemented the season-long training of farmers but, a few training gaps on cotton ICM and facilitation techniques were identified and addressed during the mentoring and technical back-stopping field visits (Plate 2).

Plate 2. Mentoring and backstopping visit at Ndeu (left) and Sedemke (right) Cotton Farmer Field Schools in Lamu West district, Kenya.

In Mozambique, mentoring/back stopping visits were done by the project team from CABI and IAM (Plate 3). A major training gap identified, was the limited knowledge of the FFS facilitators from the cotton companies in FFS facilitation techniques and conducting AESA.

Plate 3. Mentoring and technical back-stopping visit: ICM Plot (left) and non-ICM plot not weeded on time (right) at Escola de Melocue Farmer Field School in Monapo district, Nampula, Mozambique.

In order to address the training gaps identified in Mozambique, hands-on refresher ToT was conducted (6th - 12th June 2011) by CABI’s Farmer Participatory Training and Research expert with support from IAM’s project National Coordinator. The ToT provided a practical platform to review and validate the running of the FFSs, coaching of facilitators and lead farmers representatives from four local cotton farmers associations (FOPANA, FANE, FANEMA and FAPIM) as well as the National Forum of Cotton producers (FONPA). The training included both field and classroom activities (Plate 4).

The use of field days and mass media played a key role in dissemination of information on cotton ICM to other cotton farmers who are not members of the on-going FFSs. Farmers were sensitised and trained on the importance of destroying cotton stalks from previous crop immediately after harvesting, use of appropriate seed rate (Plate 5), and post-harvest handling of seed cotton. The posters and training manuals, currently under review by the project team, will ensure wider dissemination of the ICM knowledge beyond the project area.

In Component 3, the existing systems for delivery of inputs to cotton farmers were discussed during the stakeholder workshops conducted in the current reporting period (see Component 1) both in Kenya and Mozambique. Documentation of the lessons learnt from farmers in Baringo North district who received inputs from Salawa Ginneries, the pilot credit support (for purchase of inputs) offered by Equity bank to approximately 100 farmers in Lamu West district in Kenya and inputs support provided by SANAM to participating farmers in Mozambique in the current (on-going) cropping season is underway. Alternative sources of affordable credit schemes to the cotton farmers are being explored. In addition, during the current reporting period, there was emphasis on participatory development and validation of data collection protocols for monitoring and evaluation of the cotton ICM technologies being disseminated through the ongoing FFSs, under Component 4. The monitoring data being captured using the validated protocols are key in tracking progress towards achieving the desired outcomes and impact of the project.

6. Social and Environmental Effects of Project Implementation

There are no adverse social and environmental effects of the project implementation during the period under review. The project continued to advocate for judicious use of pesticides e.g. improved decision making pest control options through AESA and use of protective clothing), efficient use of water (e.g. promotion of the use of ULV sprayers) and conservation of soil moisture (e.g. use of ridges) and reduced run off. The formation of the FFS groups has continuously enhanced the interaction among farmers and such groups could develop to producer organisations. The strip intercropping of cotton and food crops (maize and soybeans) being promoted in Mozambique has contributed towards increased participation of women in the FFSs, given that women are culturally devoted in production of food crops.

7. Forward planning of project implementation

The key focus for the next six months will include both continuation and initiation of some activities in Kenya and Mozambique. In Component 1, a scientific paper from the report of the baseline survey, including the non-adopting districts (Baringo, Makindu and Magarini) in Kenya, comparing the situation in Kenya and Mozambique will be finalised. The findings will be presented during the upcoming Word Cotton Research Conference - 5 in Mumbai India (7th -11th November 2011) to be attend by representatives from the PEA and the PIAs in Kenya and Mozambique. A situation analysis in the new project sites in Ribaue and Lalaua districts in Mozambique will also be undertaken.

The capacity building program for farmers on cotton ICM through the season-long FFSs will be continued, under Component 2, in both countries. Agro-ecosystem analysis and data collection from the on-going FFSs in Kenya (30) and Mozambique (13) will be completed in line with the end of the respective cropping seasons. In both countries, the knowledge and technical skills of the FFS facilitators will be further developed in the course of actual implementation of the FFS activities through mentoring and technical backstopping visits to the FFS sites. Local farmers’ field days will be conducted at selected FFS sites in Tharaka, Baringo North, Tana Delta and Lamu West districts. Two ToT workshops will be conducted (July and November 2011) for new FFSs facilitators in Kenya and 30 new FFS will be established in October/November in the Eastern region of Kenya. In Mozambique, two ToT workshops for FFSs facilitators will be conducted (September and November 2011), 25 new FFSs established and revised IPM manual printed and disseminated.

20

In Component 3, the lessons learnt from the existing credit schemes in Kenya and Mozambique will be documented and the exploration of alternative sources of affordable credit schemes to the cotton farmers will continue.

In Component 4, the data being captured using the validated protocols for tracking progress towards achieving the desired outcomes and impact of the project will be analysed and report produced. The Socio-economists from the PEA will work closely with the PIAs and the collaborating institutions in Kenya and Mozambique to conduct training on Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation during the scheduled ToT workshops mentioned in Component 2.

As part of Project management and coordination (Component 5), the PEA will continue providing financial backstopping to the PIAs and coordinate the scheduled activities in Kenya and Mozambique. The PEA will work closely with the PIAs to develop the work plans and budgets for Year 3 (January – December 2012) and organise exchange/field visits. A project’s annual review and planning meeting is scheduled for 14th – 15th December 2011 in Mozambique. The PEA/PIAs will also participate and make presentations of lesson learnt from the project during other national or regional meetings such as, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Cotton to Clothing Value Chain Stakeholders’ Review meeting (29th – 30th July 2011, Nairobi, Kenya), and the Eastern African Regional Cotton, Textile and Apparel Stakeholders Meeting (30th – 31st August 2011, Kampala, Uganda).

8. Lessons learned

The training of trainers can play a major role in mainstreaming cotton ICM into government research and extension services, but the development of a sustainable system depends on retraining extensionists as learning facilitators.

Lack or inadequate availability of quality seeds of cotton locally is an obstacle to improve yields and income for rural livelihood in the project target area and cotton production zones in general. In Mozambique for example, CIMSAN, currently have limited capacity to provide seeds to cover the entire cotton production regions in Mozambique not even one concession. During the 2010/11 cropping season, approximately 5,000 Kg of cotton seed was required by the participating farmers in the project areas in Nampula and Sofala (before termination of activities in Sofala), but CIMSAN supplied upto 1,500 Kg. Some cotton companies e.g. Plexus have resulted to importing quality seeds (variety Albar SZ 14) from Zimbabwe but the process of importation remains complex due to the long process of approval by various government institutions. The on-going seed multiplication initiative in Kenya needs to be expanded to cater for the high demand for cotton seed.

Innovative strategies are required to encourage more participation of women in the FFSs, particularly in Mozambique, where cotton production is largely perceived (culturally) to be exclusively for men with women being engaged in production of food crops. With the high incidences of HIV/AIDS and the migration of men to the cities (urban centres) among others, women (and youth) are now taking over as the head of households.

 9. Conclusions and Recommendations The implementation of the project activities is on course but there is need to provide continuous technical support to the FFS facilitators including frontline extension staff from the Ministry of Agriculture, private sector extension service providers, as well as the cotton farmers in Kenya and Mozambique. The availability of affordable and sustainable credit schemes to the cotton farmers is still a major concern.
