SIMLESA Bulletin: highlights
An intense SIMLESA-Kenya annual review and planning meeting at the facilities of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) during 4-6 November 2013 focused on strategies for “scalingout” – that is, broadening the adoption of SIMLESA technologies – with the participation of strategic partners including KARI, CIMMYT, seed companies, farmer organizations, extension services, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and a crop insurance company. Following similar meetings in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania and field visits in Ethiopia, this type of event is crucial for the project’s transition from Phase I to Phase II and, particularly, to discuss efforts to foster widespread adoption of more productive and sustainable cropping systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to Mulugetta Mekuria, SIMLESA program coordinator.
