No results found.This report evaluates the "Revitalising Agriculture Clusters and Ulimi wa Mdandanda through Farmer Field Schools in Malawi" project, known as Kulima. It focuses on the capacity-building component led by FAO in collaboration with Malawi's Ministry of Agriculture and Department of Agriculture Extension Services, covering July 2017 to December 2023. The research/agribusiness and community outreach components were managed by GIZ and an NGO consortium. The evaluation involved analysing the project's theory of change, desk reviews, focus group discussions, and interviews. Kulima supports Malawi's agricultural goals, targeting food security, climate change adaptation, agribusiness, value chain development, gender equality, and youth empowerment. Successes include improved dietary diversity, crop yields, and adoption of low-cost, locally sourced foods. However, challenges remain, such as low adoption of labour-intensive technologies and limited access to veterinary services. The Farmer Field Schools (FFS) method has gained official recognition, but water scarcity, late seed delivery, high livestock mortality, gender imbalances, and limited funding threaten sustainability. Recommendations include aligning agricultural technologies with farmers' needs, strengthening value chain development and market access for FFS groups, increasing focus on livestock studies, and ensuring full integration and comprehensive implementation of the FFS methodology within the institutionalized agriculture extension strategies. -
