Youth Engagement in CSA in
East Africa
Youth CSA activities
CCAFS is working with youth groups in East Africa:
Smart farms – combination of CSA practices
−Greenhouse production of tomatoes & green beans for better disease
and pest control, continuous production to meet market demand and
water efficiency.
−Irrigation - Rain water harvesting irrigation (RWHI)
−Aquaculture - fish farming for improved nutrition and income
 Improved small ruminants - uptake of resilient breeds of
goats (Galla) and sheep (Red Maasai) -
 Agroforestry- Integrating fruit trees and multipurpose trees
for fodder and fuel wood, and tree nurseries
 Climate Information Service (CIS) – Informed farm
decisions
Greenhouse production of tomatoes
(4 youth groups in Nyando) – Kamula, Onyuongo, Obinju and
Kapsokale)
Youth group members pruning their crop in the
greenhouse
Drip irrigation – vegetable production (Kales, black
nightshade, cabbages).
Youth involved in horticulture for income generation
Pest control for better yield
Aquaculture - youth embrace fish farming for
nutrition and income
Tree nurseries integrating fruit trees &
multipurpose trees for income
Fruit trees – Pawpaw and Avocado for income

WHAT IS CSAYN?
The CSAYN is a group of volunteers
(based in eight countries in SSA, also USA
and Europe)- linked across the world via
an online platform to share findings and
seek advice for their practical projects -
that have a strong interest in CSA and the
environment.
http://cop22.ma
https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com
MISSION STATEMENT
❑ Raise awareness on CSA among young men and women (aged 15-
24)to enable them to make sustainable decisions for the future in
the agriculture sector.
❑ Create awareness of the related present and future threats related
to climate change and agriculture.
❑ Make youth aware of the contributions they can make in the
agriculture sector for a better future, especially through the
application of climate-smart practices in both agriculture &
forestry.
❑ Fast change of behavior; youth as vectors of change: Youth take
good practices & knowledge to their families at home and thus
change society.
https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com
VISION STATEMENT
The CSAYN aims to engage its target groups
through information dissemination by using
existing knowledge materials on CSA to increase
the capacities of members, using media and other
publication institutions to spread the news.
Budget ? Myrad of Climate Funds, but nobody
paid us or reserved money for youth or too
unpredictable.

Youth Engagement in Climate Smart
Agriculture in Africa
by DybornChibonga,NASFAMCEO
Member of WorldFarmers’Organisation(WFO)
Outline of Presentation
 Perceptions of Smallholder Agriculture in
Africa
 Why Engagement of Youth in Agriculture
 Challenges of Youth participation in CSA
 Recommendations
 Conclusion
39
Perceptions of Smallholder
Agriculture in Africa
• Farming can be a backbreaking and labour-intensive
chore for many families and the millions of African
smallholder farmers
• The average age of a farmer anywhere in the world is 60
years old.
• For a very important sector that feeds the world and
ensures our food and nutritional security, this is an
alarming piece of statistics and is a cause for concern.
• But government leaders, policymakers, development
workers, and other important stakeholders are now
sitting up and listening.
40
Why Engagement of Youth in
Agriculture
• Agriculture is now being modernized and receiving
the attention that would make it as the next driver of
development in sub-Saharan Africa.
• One that will ensure that Africa becomes the next
bread basket of the world and encourage the
productive engagement of marginal groups such as
women and youth in agricultural value chains.
• And that can help transform the sector into a more
vibrant and attractive occupation for the teeming
African youths.
41
42
Challenges of Youth participation in
CSA
Lack of enabling policy environment and platforms for
youth engagement in CSA
• Regional, national and international policies do not reflect the need for
consistent and comprehensive approaches for engaging young people
in developing the agricultural sector, addressing climate change, and
safeguarding food security.
• Few incentives for youth to take advantage of the available
opportunities and the potential of new technologies aimed at
recuperating agricultural productivity.
43
Challenges of Youth participation in
CSA...
Lack of Research for Development in CSA
• CSA requires research in order to further develop and constantly
incorporate new innovations.
• Young professionals are at the helm of research as the future of the
agriculture sector.
• However, research opportunities in CSA are not always well presented
to the youth, and tools and knowledge on CSA are not well developed
and shared.
• Investment in education, capacity development and communication
would go a long way towards engaging the youth in CSA.
44
Challenges of Youth participation in
CSA...
Lack of access to productive resources for CSA
• Land ownership is an Africa-wide challenge, as older males tend
to own or control the land.
• As land is the major requirement for CSA, the youth need access
to this resource.
• In addition to land, CSA practices and technologies require other
major investments, requiring coordinated financial mechanisms
from different sources.
Recommendations
 There is a need to make CSA activities attractive and accessible
to the youth.
 This means exploring and introducing more business and market-oriented approaches to
agriculture for youth engagement in the sector,
 Making the agricultural sector a more productive and attractive profession.
 Government, Private Sector and Development Partners need to
play a central role in the development of CSA technologies
 Especially in creating new employment opportunities for young people,
 Nurturing linkages between education and business,
 Improving access to markets, financial services and innovation,
 The transfer of technology and skills.
45
Recommendations…
 Existing good practice cases on CSA must be documented
and shared for the benefit of the youth.
 Mobilizing and organizing youth farmers into cooperatives
and associations to benefit from economies of scale.
46
 The world has undergone significant transformation in
the way business is done.
 Almost everything is technologically enhanced and
requiring creativity every now and then if one is to
stay in business.
 New markets and niches in the agricultural sector
offer young people opportunities for improving their
livelihoods and ensuring food and nutrition security.

Opportunities and Incentives for
Youth to engage in CSA in Africa
Technical Centre for Agricultural and rural
Cooperation (CTA)
Mission: to advance food and nutrition security,
increase prosperity & encourage sound NRM in ACP.
CTA operates under the framework of the Cotonou
Agreement between ACP and EU.
Approach
5
Promoting agriculture as a
sustainable business that can create
value for smallholder producers,
provide jobs for women and youth,
produce nutritious and healthy
food for people, and serve as an
engine for inclusive growth.
Climate variability (& change) is critical to agriculture
in ACP region because smallholder farms are rainfed
 Distribution of impact- smallholder & female with
lowest capacity to adapt are disproportionally impacted
 Mid-season drought and weather extreme are the
“new normal”?
What we know….
From “problems” to “solutions”.......
Much information about challenges...but relatively
less on solutions
Proven specific solutions that benefit smallholder
farmers?
 Issues to ponder:
‒ Their adoption & impact?
‒ How to upscale proven CSA solutions?
http://publications.cta.int/en/publications/publication/1867/
“Climate solutions
that work for
farmers”
- a compilation of
stories from the field
Scaling up Climate Smart Agricultural Solutions for
smallscale farmers in Southern African region
Opportunities & Incentives
 Demographic changes & emergence of consumers
conscious of food quality & environ footprints.
 Role models of successful youth in agric:
“Agriculture/CSA is cool!”.
Harnessing the power of ICTs- mobile apps to help
farmers make informed decision
Agriculture /CSA is on the radar once again....spot
opportunities
Opportunities & Incentives
 Bottom line: agriculture/csa must be
profitable
Policies and institutional context
Thank you
Merci beaucoup
CTA operates under the framework of the
Cotonou Agreement and is funded by the EU.

The CSAYN is a group of volunteers (based in eight countries in SSA, also USA and Europe)- linked across the world via an online platform to share findings and seek advice for their practical projects - that have a strong interest in CSA and the environment. http://cop22.ma https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com
  • 20. MISSION STATEMENT ❑ Raise awareness on CSA among young men and women (aged 15- 24)to enable them to make sustainable decisions for the future in the agriculture sector. ❑ Create awareness of the related present and future threats related to climate change and agriculture. ❑ Make youth aware of the contributions they can make in the agriculture sector for a better future, especially through the application of climate-smart practices in both agriculture & forestry. ❑ Fast change of behavior; youth as vectors of change: Youth take good practices & knowledge to their families at home and thus change society. https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com
  • 21. VISION STATEMENT The CSAYN aims to engage its target groups through information dissemination by using existing knowledge materials on CSA to increase the capacities of members, using media and other publication institutions to spread the news. Budget ? Myrad of Climate Funds, but nobody paid us or reserved money for youth or too unpredictable. https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com
  • 22. TARGET COUNTRIES ❑Togo (CSA pilot country for East Africa); ❑Nigeria (CSA pilot country for West Africa); ❑Cameroon (CSA pilot country for Central Africa) and ❑Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). ❑Where will the money come from? http://cop22.ma https://csayouthnetwork.wordpress.com

  • 38. Presented at COP 22 Side Event in African Pavilion, Salle 2 in Marrakech, Morocco on November 15, 2016 38 Youth Engagement in Climate Smart Agriculture in Africa by DybornChibonga,NASFAMCEO Member of WorldFarmers’Organisation(WFO)
  • 39. Outline of Presentation  Perceptions of Smallholder Agriculture in Africa  Why Engagement of Youth in Agriculture  Challenges of Youth participation in CSA  Recommendations  Conclusion 39
  • 40. Perceptions of Smallholder Agriculture in Africa • Farming can be a backbreaking and labour-intensive chore for many families and the millions of African smallholder farmers • The average age of a farmer anywhere in the world is 60 years old. • For a very important sector that feeds the world and ensures our food and nutritional security, this is an alarming piece of statistics and is a cause for concern. • But government leaders, policymakers, development workers, and other important stakeholders are now sitting up and listening. 40
  • 41. Why Engagement of Youth in Agriculture • Agriculture is now being modernized and receiving the attention that would make it as the next driver of development in sub-Saharan Africa. • One that will ensure that Africa becomes the next bread basket of the world and encourage the productive engagement of marginal groups such as women and youth in agricultural value chains. • And that can help transform the sector into a more vibrant and attractive occupation for the teeming African youths. 41
  • 42. 42 Challenges of Youth participation in CSA Lack of enabling policy environment and platforms for youth engagement in CSA • Regional, national and international policies do not reflect the need for consistent and comprehensive approaches for engaging young people in developing the agricultural sector, addressing climate change, and safeguarding food security. • Few incentives for youth to take advantage of the available opportunities and the potential of new technologies aimed at recuperating agricultural productivity.
  • 43. 43 Challenges of Youth participation in CSA... Lack of Research for Development in CSA • CSA requires research in order to further develop and constantly incorporate new innovations. • Young professionals are at the helm of research as the future of the agriculture sector. • However, research opportunities in CSA are not always well presented to the youth, and tools and knowledge on CSA are not well developed and shared. • Investment in education, capacity development and communication would go a long way towards engaging the youth in CSA.
  • 44. 44 Challenges of Youth participation in CSA... Lack of access to productive resources for CSA • Land ownership is an Africa-wide challenge, as older males tend to own or control the land. • As land is the major requirement for CSA, the youth need access to this resource. • In addition to land, CSA practices and technologies require other major investments, requiring coordinated financial mechanisms from different sources.
  • 45. Recommendations  There is a need to make CSA activities attractive and accessible to the youth.  This means exploring and introducing more business and market-oriented approaches to agriculture for youth engagement in the sector,  Making the agricultural sector a more productive and attractive profession.  Government, Private Sector and Development Partners need to play a central role in the development of CSA technologies  Especially in creating new employment opportunities for young people,  Nurturing linkages between education and business,  Improving access to markets, financial services and innovation,  The transfer of technology and skills. 45
  • 46. Recommendations…  Existing good practice cases on CSA must be documented and shared for the benefit of the youth.  Mobilizing and organizing youth farmers into cooperatives and associations to benefit from economies of scale. 46
  • 47.  The world has undergone significant transformation in the way business is done.  Almost everything is technologically enhanced and requiring creativity every now and then if one is to stay in business.  New markets and niches in the agricultural sector offer young people opportunities for improving their livelihoods and ensuring food and nutrition security. 47 Conclusions

  • 50. Olu Ajayi PhD Marakech, Morocco 15 November, 2016 Opportunities and Incentives for Youth to engage in CSA in Africa
  • 51. Technical Centre for Agricultural and rural Cooperation (CTA) Mission: to advance food and nutrition security, increase prosperity & encourage sound NRM in ACP. CTA operates under the framework of the Cotonou Agreement between ACP and EU.
  • 52. Approach 5 Promoting agriculture as a sustainable business that can create value for smallholder producers, provide jobs for women and youth, produce nutritious and healthy food for people, and serve as an engine for inclusive growth.
  • 53. Climate variability (& change) is critical to agriculture in ACP region because smallholder farms are rainfed  Distribution of impact- smallholder & female with lowest capacity to adapt are disproportionally impacted  Mid-season drought and weather extreme are the “new normal”? What we know….
  • 54. From “problems” to “solutions”....... Much information about challenges...but relatively less on solutions Proven specific solutions that benefit smallholder farmers?  Issues to ponder: ‒ Their adoption & impact? ‒ How to upscale proven CSA solutions?
  • 55. http://publications.cta.int/en/publications/publication/1867/ “Climate solutions that work for farmers” - a compilation of stories from the field Scaling up Climate Smart Agricultural Solutions for smallscale farmers in Southern African region
  • 56. Opportunities & Incentives  Demographic changes & emergence of consumers conscious of food quality & environ footprints.  Role models of successful youth in agric: “Agriculture/CSA is cool!”. Harnessing the power of ICTs- mobile apps to help farmers make informed decision Agriculture /CSA is on the radar once again....spot opportunities
  • 57. Opportunities & Incentives  Bottom line: agriculture/csa must be profitable Policies and institutional context
  • 58. Thank you Merci beaucoup CTA operates under the framework of the Cotonou Agreement and is funded by the EU.
