Farmer Organisations for Rural Transformation (FORT)

About this project

Farmer Organisations for Rural Transformation (FORT) strives for the transformation of rural areas whereby a variety of organised farmers and their households are expected to increase their resilience to shocks through the strengthening of their farmers’ organisations (FOs). Its strategy is to support the development of farmer-led centres of service delivery, focused on production, finance, and marketing services, upon a governance framework of enhanced internal and external agency and institutional strengthening of formal and informal FOs. These FOs will have a variety of sizes, ranging from informal groups to primary cooperatives, Area Cooperative Enterprises and the Apex organisation. In addition to producers’ organisations, FORT intends to strengthen the functioning of rural Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) to better serve the needs of rural households while reinforcing their savings and credit portfolios and the foundations of governance and financial management.
