Finance Fair Organization: Gerrit Holtland Country Coordinator AgriProFocus Ethiopia gholtland@agriprofocus.com www.agriprofocus.com/ethiopia The information contained in the catalogue, if judiciously utilized, are believed to be vital to farmers, farmers’ organizations, rural enterprises, financial service providers, capacity builders/NGOs and policy makers for the purpose of curbing problems of mismatch in demand and supply of financial services in rural areas. Moreover, it contributes in bringing more farmers and financial service providers together through open discussions at the forum and subsequent contacts. Parallel with these, the forum contributes towards promotion of investment. So far, AgriProFocus Ethiopia conducted seven finance fairs in the country: Batu Finance Fair is the eighth one. On these finance fairs, farmers, farmers’ organizations, rural enterprises, financial service providers, capacity builders/ NGOs and policy makers came together and discussed on how to curb problems of mismatch between demand for and supply in financial services in rural areas being accompanied by some recommendations. We do have opinion that careful and continuous use of these successive Finance Fairs can improve intuitive understanding of farmers, financial service providers and capacity builders on financial services provision successes, challenges and possible recommendations. We also suppose policy makers make use of the recommendations made in these regards. Meanwhile, your comments and constructive suggestions are highly appreciated to make the aim of the Finance Fair a success. 1 Agribusiness Finance Fair - Batu Forward This Batu Agribusiness Finance Fair Catalogue is prepared and disseminated by AgriProFocus Ethiopia in collaboration with Oxfam. The aim is to bring farmers, farmers’ organizations and rural enterprises from one side, and financial service providers from the other side together at the presence of capacity builders/NGOs, research institutes and policy makers to discuss on the rural financial service provision successes, challenges, and recommendations against the challenges. This finance fair is based on prevailing mismatch between demand and supply of financial services in rural areas, and investment capacity of farmers and entrepreneurs of central rift valley areas. Previous Finance Fairs Batu is the 8th Finance Fair AgriProFocus is an international network with Dutch roots that promotes and drives farmer entrepreneurship among farmers and their organisations. We believe that primary producers worldwide are the key to local economic growth and sustainable agri-food systems. We are active in Africa (12 countries), Indonesia and in the Netherlands and organizes a regular calendar of Business 2 Business events and fairs, expert meetings, knowledge events and debates. Moreover the network provides brokering services as well as an active online space for networking and exchange. AgriProFocus Ethiopia is working on a range of themes in agricultural development. One of the major themes is access to finance in agriculture. The economy of Ethiopia is largely based on agriculture, but like elsewhere in Africa the level of investment in agriculture has been less than 15% and this affects the growth of agriculture seriously. Banks have for long considered farmers, agricultural Coops and rural SMEs as being not bankable as they lack organizational capacities and professionalism, and also the lack of collateral is an issue. For those that do have a valid business case, it was often impossible to get access to finance as Banks have little or no means of managing the risks related to agriculture. The idea of our Finance Fair aims to connect the Demand & Supply side of the finance sector, so that both can understand each other’s businesses and would work together. The event will have a market place where farmers look at the display areas of MFIs, Banks, equipment suppliers, other farmer organizations and capacity builders. Moreover, finance and investment focused papers will be presented and discussions would be held in the event. The second day of the event would be a field visit as experience sharing opportunity. To address this problem of mismatch between demand and supply sides of financial service provisions, AgriProFocus Ethiopia organized seven Finance Fairs since 2012. This Batu Agribusiness Finance Fair is the eighth one. Jimma 2012 The 1st Agribusiness Finance Fair was successfully organized in Jimma on October 2012.

Mission • To be leading provider of high quality member service and diversified financial products. • To organize autonomous, dedicated, member controlled, and operated saving and credit cooperatives. Objectives • To build financial strength, including providing sufficient financial services and risk management that will ensure continued service to membership. • To achieve activities that primary SACCOs cannot achieve individually and establish sound financial institutions. • To provide technical and other necessary material support to primary SACCOs. • To promote viable and sustainable SACCOs in the rural areas. • To minimize risk and to be cost effective strategy for primary SACCOs. • To build better investment ground for primary SACCOs. • To create linkage with banks and other financial institutions. • To make strong chain with internal auditing system in the primary SACCOs. Key Objectives The overall objective of the union SACCOs is to improve food security in the woreda’s of Siraro, Shala, Shashemene, Wondo, Arsi Nagelle by accompanying producers in the exercise of their right to food. Specific Objectives • Enhancement of saving and investment culture in the community • Encouragement of asset and income diversification in urban and rural communities • To improve the socio-economic situation of women /men BACKGROUND OF THE UNION In Ethiopia, the potential income generating activities that can be financed are enormous and classified as on farm and off-farm. On farm activities includes small livestock and crop production, input supply, purchase of oxen and fattening, while offfarm activities include traditional handicrafts, wide varieties of petty trade including food and soft drinks, kiosk, and grain milling. None of those business activities and investment ventures described above can take off without the availability of sufficient financial resource. Whatever types of business opportunities people decide to engage in, there must be adequate source of financial resource they can easily access. People can borrow money from friends, family members, local money lenders, and so on. However the rate of interest is usually so high in the case of money lenders that the borrower basically works for the local money lenders. To address this problem, various primary SACCOs have been established as per the cooperative proclamation no 147/98 in the west Arsi zone. The main purpose is to provide saving and credit services to its members with the aim of creating permanent source of financial resources from which people can take loans either to invest in their existing business ventures or start new ones as required. To strengthen and consolidate efficient financial resource management of primary SACCOs in west Arsi zone, Duro Shalla SACCO union was established in Apr. 2001 E.C, as per the cooperative proclamation no 147/98, and given a license by Oromia Region Cooperative Promotion Bureau to operate as saving and credit institution. The problem of non-viable SACCOs still exists and different studies have shown that there are only few viable SACCOs. As a result of much effort within the SACCOs movement Duro Shalla SACCO union is planning to change its direction towards a business Principles. The viable SACCOs argued that making surplus and developing strong SACCOs was in member’s interest in the long term, rather than short term gain of cheap loans only. In view of the above, Duro Shalla SACCOs union was established to promote, develop, and provide support services to the primary SACCOs as well as to support the incomegenerating effort of the wider public, especially the women’s in the five district (Shashemene, Shalla, Arsi Negelle, Siraro, and Wondo) of West Arsi Zone with future expansion strategy where there is no adequate financial services and with a mission to promote culture of saving and providing financial services to its members SACCOs. The SACCO’S Union implements its program with active participation of the beneficiary communities and partnership of sect oral line departments and ECCSDCOM (FSRDP). The implementation program is witnessed to have made positive contributions to the improvement of rural livelihoods as demonstrated by enhanced income earning opportunities, strengthened grassroots capabilities, and specially the empowerment of women and other marginal groups. The local economy of the community is predominantly dependent on farm. However, the farm based economy by itself cannot sustain the life of the community. Thus, there is a dire need to diversify house hold income sources to reduce food insecurity and vulnerability. One way of achieving this could be through sustaining food security at all level by increasing income generation opportunities. A possible intervention option includes promotion of saving mobilization (both in cash & in kind) economic mobilization and community investment. The program relies on participatory approach where communities take the lead in project identification and design of intervention experiences that can guide future implementation initiatives.

The first phase of the ISSD programme was implemented from 2009 to 2011 mainly through the LSB (Local Seed Business) project, where 34 Seed Producers’ Cooperatives (SPCs), under the LSB scheme, the LSB farmer groups have been supported to become technically better equipped and more commercial in their seed production and marketing efforts, as well as to become more autonomous in their operations in the seed sector. The ISSD Ethiopia phase II programme was launched in January 2012 with the objectives to strengthen the development of a vibrant, market oriented and pluralistic seed sector in Ethiopia. The programme follows the ISSD development principles in targeting its activities at specific sectors, including local seed businesses (LSBs), private seed producers (operating at a regional scale) and seed companies (operating at a national scale), but also promoting institutional innovation in the sector through partnerships components. In addition, the programme supports services addressing different sectors, including research and studies, sharing experiences and lessons learnt, and capacity development. Haramaya University (HU) - ISSD Oromia East Programme is one of the arms of the project hosted by Haramaya University working in the region (East and West Hararghe Zones of Oromia National Regional State) to promote entrepreneurship at local levels in the seed sector, thereby increasing farmers’ access to and availability of quality and quantity seed at affordable prices in the region. Accordingly, the programme has been supporting SPCs in collaboration with different partners and stakeholders. Currently, more than 40 SPCs have been established in the region by HU-ISSD programme and scaling up partners. The majority of the established SPCs have started production and marketing of seeds of different crops and 25 varieties. Volume of seed produced by the SPCs are also increasing from year to year and contributing significantly to the region’s seed demand. Production Volume (Qt) Business development services 24100 22100 20100 18100 16100 14100 12100 10100 8100 6100 4100 2100 100 Total Production 18787.84 6342.3 689 1411 2010 2011 2012 2013 Seed production trends by SPCs from 2010-2013 in west and East Hararghe Zones. The HU-ISSD programme aims also at strengthening small and medium-scale private seed producers, supporting their establishment and operations, and enhancing capacity building through promoting public private partnerships. On the basis of assessment of the potential agribusiness firms, two private seed producers, which were supposed to be competent and having the capacity to grow and diversify seed businesses, were selected and started seed business through technical support provided by the programme. Under the partnership and innovation project component, the ISSD programme aims at developing a mechanism with institutionalised regional coordinating bodies to facilitate innovations and learning in the seed sector related challenges beyond the local level. Major innovative projects currently under implementation include: experimentation with post-harvest seed processing technologies for enhancing quality seed production; institutionalisation of seed quality advisory services at HU; establishing cooperative-based seed education and extension system; enhancing availability of Hararghe specialty coffee seedlings through farmerparticipatory variety selection (PVS); and production of early generation seeds (EGS). The Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Development component (KSCD) has been mandated to facilitate knowledge sharing and lessons learnt through different communication strategies to partners and stakeholders at local, regional and, national levels. Accordingly, activities of the ISSD programme especially those associated with SPCs in seed business have been intensively promoted through diverse communication channels including, publications, radio and television, seed exhibitions, mini-media, farmers’ field days, travel visits, website, social media and others.

We have worked in over 50 countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas, and are currently running 12 projects in 15 countries that support over 450,000 people and their communities. The Canadian Hunger Foundation’s fundamental approach is to respect and empower local populations as architects of their own development. This approach helps identify hidden assets, untapped potential, networks of people, skills and resources — all of which give communities the power to transform themselves and create stable and sustainable livelihoods. CHF’s development practice is grounded in three core approaches: Partnership with Local Organizations and Private Sector Companies CHF has a long history of working with and through local NGOs and a great deal of experience in forging constructive, responsive relations with them. Our approach to partnerships is based on respect; trust and reciprocity; and mutually-agreed goals, with joint accountability for delivering results. CHF provides partners and other stakeholders with high-quality technical assistance. We have developed a solid base of expertise in building the capacity of local NGOs and networks and practical experience in strengthening the capacity of rural communities, local government and national institutions in areas related to agriculture and rural development. Building Resilience Programming that builds resilience aims to address the risks and vulnerabilities that make people susceptible to shocks by addressing their root causes, and not just their consequences, and helping them to maintain or improve their situations even in the face of these changes. Building household resilience is a key approach to CHF’s food security and inclusive sustainable economic growth programming. We see resilience as an outcome of our work that must be identified and built into program design and delivery from the start, as with the cross-cutting themes. CHF takes an integrated, systemic approach to considering the inherent risks of ongoing changes and predicted trends in economic, social and environmental systems, especially in the context of the most vulnerable. CHF’s resilience approach helps households manage socio-economic and environmental shocks and stressors and makes it easier for them to adapt to unexpected change. Market-led Development CHF’s approach to market-led development uses a combination of value chain and entrepreneurial approaches to engage the poor more significantly in local, regional and international markets in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Recognizing that the poor increasingly interact with markets as producers, consumers, labourers and entrepreneurs, our approach begins with the premise that understanding and improving this interaction is key to maximizing development results. It treats farmers and their households as business entities who can reduce their own poverty by optimizing the use of the productive resources available to them. We conduct end market research and value chain analysis to identify productivity and competitiveness improvements, as well as entrepreneurial and employment opportunities. Our market-led development approach builds on CHF’s long experience with assetbased approaches that target interventions strategically, according to the potential and aspirations of participants. Equitable access to opportunities and a sustained, inclusive growth orientation are key principles of our approach. CHF has been working in East Africa and the Horn since 1983. It established a permanent presence in Ethiopia in 2002, when it was invited by the GoE to launch a “relief-to-development” project in response to a devastating drought. Since then, CHF has worked in 6 regions of the country managing six projects totalling $35 million. Currently CHF is implementing two projects in Ethiopia funded by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development’s (DFATD). The Benishangul-Gumuz Food Security and Economic Growth Program (BSG-FSEG) is improving the livelihoods of over 25,000 households in seven woredas of the Benishangul-Gumuz region and the Market-led Improved Livelihoods in Eastern Amhara (MILEAR) Project is improving the food and economic security of 8,000 households in Ethiopia’s Eastern Amhara region.

It lies at latitude 70 9’ N, Longitude 380 7’ E. Altitude: 1650 m.a.s.l. Annual Rainfall (mean): 766.59 mm. Temperature: Mean max. 270c; Mean min. 120c. Total Land holding: 300 ha ATARC was established in 1968 as testing site of Holeta Agricultural Research Center on 40 ha of land with 50 indigenous cattle. The Objective was - to evaluate meat & milk production potential of indigenous cattle breed types. In 1974, a crossbreeding program was initiated (exotic x local) i.e Holstein Frisian, Jersey and Simmental sires were crossed to the indigenous dam line (Borana and Barka) to improve the milk production performance of the local animals. Towards the end of 1993, the center was transferred from IAR to OADB. ATARC was designated to be National Beef research project coordinator in 1997. In 2001, OARI was established as an independent Research Institute. Vision To see food secured and market oriented surplus Producers and livelihood improved community in Oromia Mission Improve the production and productivity of livestock sector and horticultural crops on sustainable basis through generating, adapting and disseminating compatible technologies for target stakeholders while considering the conservation and management of the natural resource base of the mandate area. Mandate • Adapt, generate and demonstrate pertinent technologies • Training farmers • Technical support for all stakeholders Highlights of Achievements Vegetables Onion and Tomato seed production Recognizing the need and importance of quality vegetable seed of especially Onion and tomato in the central rift valley, the center started Vegetable Seed production with some model farmers. With this attempt community based quality vegetable seed producers were established by farmers for the farmers. Agribusiness Finance Fair - Batu 30 Simmental X Borana Cows Important characteristics of Simmental x Borana Cows • Serve for dual purpose (Meat & milk) ATARC has made a significant effort in reaching farmers in mid rift-valley of Oromia with dairy technologies. For example, about 7 cooperatives were established at different PAs in A/T/J/K district. The cooperatives were given with improved dairy animals ranging from 7- 11 head per cooperatives The activity was carried out after discussion with target farmers, PA leaders and district office of Agriculture. The animals are jointly managed by the farmers (members of cooperatives) with frequent monitoring of researchers. As a result the cooperative members have generated income from the sale of milk despite the nutritional improvement ensured in the house hold. Feeds & Feeding • 8 hours grazing and ad lip roughage after grazing • 2 Kg concentrate for maintenance and • 0.5Kg concentrate/litre for milk production Productive Performance 305 days milk yield (first lactation) for F1: 2022kg (on-station) 1486.5kg(on-farm). As lactation number increases from 1st to 4th , there is slight increases in milk yield reaching 2341 and 2225 kg for 50% and 75% Simmental crosses, respectively Daily milk yield: 6-12 lit/day and Butter fat content: 5% Beef Technologies Farmers Research Group (FRG) and graduated farmers were organized in to cooperatives (primary coops) and started fattening in a larger scale. The farmers were experienced and well trained in cattle fattening technologies by FRG project in previous years based on their interest and experience the center organized them in to groups so that they can sustain the work for better income earning. Currently, the farmers started transporting animals to be fattened from Yabello. Efforts have been made to linked cooperative with district microfinance for credit service.

Over 500 cows were sent by air and they thrived. Over subsequent years, livestock were sourced in country and SAC’s approach widened to include both developing effective community groups and training in broader farming techniques than just livestock. Send a Cow (SAC) is transforming lives of hundreds of thousands of poor families in many African countries including Ethiopia. Supporting poor people to realize their potential is a critical component of Send a Cow’s intervention strategy. This support takes shape in the form of transferring knowledge and skills to improve management of their resources and social relations at family and community level for sustainable livelihoods development. It also takes shape in the formation of effective community institutions with capacity building support from SAC projects. Self-Help Groups whose formation is based on affinity rather than homogeneity, is the basis for sustainable community institutions development. Currently, SAC has five main Country Programs in Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Lesotho and it is developing new initiatives in Zambia and Burundi. Send a Cow Ethiopia, as a branch of Send a Cow UK, has been operating in Ethiopia since March 2006 G.C. As a developmental charity it works with poor and smallholder rural farmers to promote food and livelihood security through the development of sustainable low-input agriculture, enabling farmers to manage their crops and animals in an integrated and environmentally friendly manner for improved productivity and sustainability. It supports poor rural farmers by providing skill training on Natural Resources management, Gender and Social Development, Improved Animal Management, Water and Sanitation, Saving and Credit, Small Scale Business Development, Value Addition and Marketing. Send a Cow is working to enable poor, smallholder rural families to create strong dynamic communities that can come out of poverty. WHAT WE DO In order to attain food and livelihood security, Send a Cow intervenes in five major areas, namely Sustainable Organic Agriculture /SOA/, Integrated Animal Management /IAM/, Natural Resource Management /NRM/, Gender and Social Development /GSD/, Improved Equine Management and Water and Sanitation /WATSAN/ that all have their key role to improve food and livelihood security. WHERE WE WORK Send a Cow has been working in two regions of the country in partnership with local NGOs and also direct implementation. It is in the Oromiya and South Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regions that the organization is currently intervening i.e., East Shoa Zone ( Ziway), Arsi Zone Agribusiness Finance Fair - Batu 32 OUR BENEFICIARIES Send a Cow’s beneficiaries are poor households in rural areas of Ethiopia who cannot meet their basic needs, have potential for self help and development and willing to work in groups to address individual, group, and community issues. Apart from this, we are working to meet the needs of a wider range of poor and marginalized groups in particular; those affected by HIV/AIDS, disabled, women and elderly. OUR ACHIEVEMENTS/IMPACT Send a Cow’s credibility and reputation has been growing because of its approaches and impacts that have changed lives of tens of thousands of people in Africa. This has attracted many organizations and developed an interest to work with us. In the last seven years, Send a Cow has established 253 groups /SHGs/, which have 7,123 members of which nearly 45% are female. Out of these groups, 98 groups have graduated, some organized into cooperatives and have got legal entity, while others preferred to stay as Self Help Groups. In both cases, they became institutions initiating community development works in their locality. They support orphanages, build roads, bridges and demonstrate the skill and knowledge they got from Send a Cow to community members through schools and individual farms. The graduated and existing groups have impacted 178,075 community members besides their improvement in income and food self sufficiency. A Gender and Social Development network has also been established between all project implementing partners as one of the strategy that facilitate mainstreaming gender and social development in all projects and thereby bring about larger impact and consistency throughout all project implementing partners. All partners developed gender policy, conducted gender analysis with group members and a lot of changes have been observed at household level gender relation. Besides these, each partner developed three to five years group graduation (exit) plan. Send a Cow is also promoting cornerstone values which are emanated from the community norms and values and used as individual and group principles.
