IFA president Joe Healy begins a visit to Kenya and Uganda this Sunday with Ray Jordan, chief executive of the charity Self Help Africa.
The IFA has chosen Self Help Africa as its charity partner and the leaders of both organisations will meet with farming groups including the Kenya Farmers Association, the International Livestock Research Institute and the International Food Policy and Research Institute.
Healy will also travel to Ethiopia, where Self Help Africa started its first projects in the aftermath of the 1984-1985 famine – including the IFA-supported delivery of 2,000t of Cara Donegal seed potatoes.
The trip will include a visit a social enterprise started by Self Help Africa to connect farmers with markets in the region. The project was featured in an Irish Farmers Journal multimedia report supported by the Simon Cumbers Foundation last year – read more, watch the video and listen to the podcast here.
