Ladies and gentlemen,

One of the deliverables to the AGM as supreme bodyof PELUM Kenya is an annual report, a document thatsummarizes themain achievementsof theorganizationfortheyearended2012.Hence,onceagain,Iamsurethemember organizations and the stakeholders of PELUM-KenyaareeagerlywaitingtoheartheprogressmadesofarasreflectedinPELUMKenya’sAnnualReportfor2012.

We note with appreciation that in 2012, the CountrySecretariatimplementedmanyactivitiesandinvolvedthePELUMKenyaMemberOrganizationsandotherstrategicpartners. We appreciate the efforts of the CountrySecretariat staffwhoeffectively implemented theWorkPlanforthe2012whichwasapprovedbytheBoard.Wealsolaudthememberorganizationsforablyparticipatinginnetworking.Thisiswhatmakesnetworkingwork:themembers genuinely being involved in networking andhencestrengtheningtheirlinkages,learningprocessesandscalingupthebestpractices.Inordertoimplementtheseprogrammes and coordinate networking so effectively,theSecretariatstaffmembershaveprovedthattheyhavethe necessary competences and resilience tomeet thechallenges of networking and the expectations of themembers.Iamveryproudofthem.As we look and reflect on the achievements for theyear 2012, we have to continually remember that thesmall scale farmers remains the epi-center of PELUMAssociation and they are the very reasons why thenetworkwasestablished18yearsago.WhilethePELUM-KenyaSecretariatdoesnotworkwithsmallscalefarmersdirectly,all itseffortsshouldbegearedto trickle-down,through theMOs inorder tomakeapositive impactatthefarmerlevel.

I thereforewishtochallengethePELUMKenyaCountrySecretariat and the member organizations to ensurethatwe all genuinely focus on the small scale farmers.It is veryencouragingandgratifying tonote thatunlike

in many other networks, the livelihood security of thesmallscalefarmersreachedbythePELUMAssociation’sMemberOrganization is improving.Thus,PELUMKenyaatleastmeetsthebasictestofanynetwork:benefittingitsMemberOrganizationandtheirbeneficiaries.

However,thisisonlythebeginning,theprimarylevelofnetworking.Thereareothermoreexcitingnextlevelsofnetworking:

∆ Theincreasedhorizontalandzonalnetworking(alsocalled peer networking) wheremembers reach outtoothermembers formutual learning. Inthis level,therewillbe increasedexchangeand learningvisitsfor the farmers, the programmeofficers, the boardandthestakeholders.

∆ Themembersinazonedevelopingandimplementingjointprogrammesandorganizingnetworkingforumstoincreaseinformationsharingandlearning.

∆ Theidentification,collectionanddocumentationofbestpracticesandbestsuccessstories.

Thescalingupofthebestpracticesamongthemembersandtheircollaboratingpartners.With the current level of growth of PELUM Kenya, thenetworkcanalsogrowintothesesecondarystages.Thiswill eventually increase the benefits of networking tomembers and their beneficiaries. Organization growthand development is about setting higher goals. I wantto encourage the secretariat staff and themembers toaspireandworkhardtoreachandachievethesehigherlevelsofnetworking.

Finally, we also applaud the funding partners whohave continued to support our work. These includeSwedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC), EED,Ford Foundation and Bread for the World. We alsoacknowledge our new funding partners, ACT! who aresupportingournewprogramme:communityadvocacyinnaturalresourcemanagement.Were-assurethemallthatwewillcontinuemaximizingtheuseoftheresourcestheygiveus.Wealsoinvitethemtovisitusanditwillbeourjoy to show themourworkandmeet thecommunitiesweworkwith.

It is with much pleasure and pride that I present thePELUM-Kenya’s Annual Report for 2012. The year wasan eventful one which saw increased activities andinvolvement of PELUM-Kenya in regional activities.PELUM-KenyaplayedacentralcoordinatingroleinrollingoutthePilotphaseofEcologicalOrganicAgriculture(EOA)Initiativewhichwasimplementedinsixcountries:Kenya,Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia and Nigeria. TheprogrammewassupportedbySwedishSocietyforNatureConservation(SSNC).ThereishopeofSwissDevelopmentCorporation (SDC) providing additional support andexpanding the programme to West African countries(Senegal,Benin,MaliandCameroon).Thesecondphaseofthisprogrammeisatanadvancestageofapprovalandsubsequentimplementation.

TheNational Board composition remained the same (3womenand5menofwhomone is theCEOandanex-officio).TheChairpersonofPELUM-KenyastillcontinuedtobetheRegionalChairpersonofPELUMAssociation.

In2012,thePELUM-KenyaNationalBoardheld2formalmeetings inMayandDecemberandan informalone inJuneduringtheAnnualGeneralMeeting.Thesemeetingshave continued tobe critical since the issuesdiscussedand deliberated and decisions made have led to thegrowth and development of the network. The boardresolved to make the technical sub-committee moreactive. It was agreed that in future, more budgets willbeallocatedtotheboardsub-committeessoastomakethemmoreoperational.

Themembership of the organization reduced from theinitial 38 to 36members after themembership of twomembers was discontinued owing to their failure tomeet the requirements ofmembership as contained intheorganizationalstatutes.However,8otherinstitutionsfrom across the country expressed interest to join thenetwork and their applications were subjected to thenormalchannelsofscrutinyafterwhichthemembershipofsix(6)wasapprovedbytheboardpendingratificationduringtheAnnualGeneralMeeting(AGM)in2013.

ThecompositionofthestaffatCountrySecretariatchangedafterthevoluntaryexitof3membersof staffwhowere the ProgrammeOperationsManager(Female),FinanceandAdministrativeManager(Female)and Campaign, Advocacy and Lobbying ProgrammeOfficer (Male). The vacant positions were immediatelyadvertisedandfilledupatdifferenttimesoftheyear.Inaddition, a Programme Intern (female) was brought into support in the implementation of programmes.One

oftheProgrammeOfficerswaspromotedtothelevelofSenior ProgrammeOfficer and joined themanagementteam.Theaccountantwasalsopromotedtothepositionof Finance and Administration Manager. The gendercomposition of the secretariat as of December 2012attainedevenlybalancedat6malesand6females.

During2012,therewasincreasedfundingsupport from two partners: Ford Foundation throughPELUM-Uganda supporting a programme: Access tomarkets for small scale farmers and Act!’s CRM Facilitysupporting a Community Advocacy Programme.One ofPELUM-Kenya funding partner, SSNC also increased itsfundingbysupportingtheEcologicalOrganicAgriculture(EOA)Pilotinitiativewhichwasrolledoutinsixcountries:Tanzania,Uganda,Zambia,Nigeria,EthiopiaandKenya.

In terms ofmajor assets, the PELUM-Kenya Secretariatacquiredone4-wheelNissanNavaratoimprovetransporttothefield.

The thirdexternaloneonfinancialandsystemscomplianceauditswascarriedoutbyBakerTillyMerali(BTM),anauditfirmcommissionedbySwedishSocietyforNatureConservation(SSNC),oneofthePELUM-Kenyaleadfundingpartners.

These audits and assessments revealed the areasand systems of the organization that are strong, theorganizations best practices and the areas and systemsthatrequirestrengthening.Actionplansweredevelopedand will be implemented in 2013. Over time, PELUM-Kenya has come to appreciate these review processes

Itwas realized thatthe finance department had implemented close to 90% ofthe tools developed in Awasi in 2011, but the programmesdepartment was still struggling having implemented 40% ofthe tools. Discussions emerged that the tools, thoughmany,had not adequately answered the fundamental purpose ofthe monitoring and evaluation system.

7.3 The Auditors Report

www.pelum.net

2012 had challenges that taught the organization anumberoflessonsasindicatedbelow:

8.1 There is a need for adequate planningand undertaking necessary surveys especially onenvironmental work. This became very clear duringexcavationofshallowwellsinMachakoswherethewellshit bedrock that hindered further development of theworkuntilasolutiontopenetratingtherockwasfound.Had the project undertaken initial soil strata survey aswell as adequate geological survey it would have foreknowledgeofwhattoexpectinthecourseofexcavatingtheshallowwellshenceputinplacemeasurestoovercomethechallengeearlyenoughorevenshifttheshallowwellsto areaswhere the samewould not run into the samechallenges.Thiswouldsaveoncostsandtimeleadingtoachievementofprogrammegoalsandobjectivesontime.

8.2 Small scale farmers in Africa are in most caseslocatedinruralareaswithlittleaccesstomainselectricityaswellasICTservices.ManyhavechallengesinuseofICThardwareandsoftwaresuchascomputersand internetapplications.Whentheprogrammedevelopedablogtofacilitate information sharing among the membershipitwasnotadequatelyutilizedasmanyof themembersappeared challenged in ICT. This was evidenced bysharing of information on group emails instead of theblog that was specifically developed for this purpose.The programme learned that prior to investing innew technology or introducing unfamiliar methods ofundertakingworkthereisaneedforsituationalanalysisto determine preparedness of the target communityto take up the methods of working to be introduced.Additionally,theissueofhardwareiscentraltosuccessfuluptake of such new methods. In this case where theinformationblogwasunderutilized itbecameclearthattwothingswereblamefortheoccurrence.Thefirstwasinadequate technicalknowhowtoshare informationontheblogand the secondonewas thatof access to thecomputersandinternetfacilities.Thesechallengesoughttohavebeendispensedofpriortointroductionofthenewwayofsharinginformationamongstthetargetgroups.Intheonemilliontreecampaigns,theoverallchallenge inthis campaign is thehigh costs involved in growing thetrees.OneindigenoustreeseedlingcostfromKsh.15.00and above and hence for PELUM Kenya to reach the1millionthmark, a total sumof Ksh. 15millionwill berequiredandtopiggybacktheactivityonexistingevents. 8.3 Throughtreeplantingandsharingsessionsprior

to planting sessions, local communities’ knowledge onClimateChangeissueshas increasedandtheirabilitytoadaptandcopewithclimatechangechallengesimproved.Climate change challenges are getting worse amongthe farmers and if not addressedwill adversely reversethe gainsmade in development. Thus it’s important toextensively incorporate issues to adaptation techniquesfor increasing resilience to climate change. These mayinclude direct support on practical demonstrations forinitiativesthatcanhelpincopingandadaptingtoclimatechanges suchasenergyconservation techniques,waterharvestingandmanagement,increasingvegetationcoverto10%amongothers.

8.4 In the EOA programme, communication amongthe partners was not well structured which resultedin late submission of reports, among others issues.The programme was not well developed with theimplementing partners and this lead to challenges inimplementingtheactivities.

8.5 Thereisneedtoinvestinprogrammedevelopmentwhere monitoring and evaluation responsibilities,participatory process are internalized andwhere issueslike the communication and engagement plan aredeveloped,amongothers.ThePELUMKenyaM&Etools,though many, have still not adequately answered thefundamental purposeof themonitoring and evaluationsystem.
