Commitment /Endorsement Letter to the learning initiative: Linking smallholders to commercialization practices: the case of Farmers Organizations in the Kenyan dairy sector
Application form to the learning initiative: Linking smallholders to commercialization practices: the case of Farmers Organizations in the Kenyan dairy sector
The Initiative: “Linking smallholder farmers to commercialization practices: the case of Farmers Organizations in the Kenyan dairy sector” is a joint learning initiative promoted by IFAD (International Fund for Agricultural Development) and Procasur developed under the Large Regional IFAD-Procasur Grant Programme "Strengthening Capacities and tools to scale up and disseminate Innovations" (2016-2018). This topic was selected resting on the consolidated results of the (i) online survey lunched by PROCASUR in April 2016 in the ESA region, (ii) in depth interviews to project managers of IFAD funded projects in the ESA region, and (iii) experts’ consultation undertaken among specialists in the area of Farmers Organizations.

A booklet with the summary of the list of participants, agenda and host case studies of the Learning Route: Practical solutions to adapt to climate change in the production and post-harvesting sectors: the cases of Mozambique and Rwanda, that took place between the 6th – 16th of November 2016 in Mozambique and Rwanda
Within the framework of the joint IFAD-funded Large Grant programme: “Strengthening Capacities and Tools to Scale Up and Disseminate Innovations”, the Procasur Corporation supports knowledge management and capacity-building strategies aimed at scaling up best practices and innovations that contribute to reducing poverty among IFAD stakeholders in East and Southern Africa (ESA), West and Central Africa (WCA), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Asia and Pacific (APR) regions.
The programme’s objective is to enhance implementation performance and impact of rural development projects in LAC, ESA, PTA and WCA by increasing access to knowledge, capacity building and scaling up of good practices.
This objective is achieved by:
• Identifying, organizing and disseminating existing knowledge on innovations and best practices;
• Identifying local “champions”, or people who play a key role in promoting innovations, and enabling them to organize and share their experience using the Learning Routes methodology; and
• Designing and implementing Learning Routes and disseminating the knowledge acquired.
The IFAD Country Office in Sudan has participated in several Learning Routes, and on the basis of this experience, has proposed customizing the methodology and making it simpler and easier to use. This would allow projects and the country office to share knowledge and ideas more easily, and therefore contribute to improved performance.
These guidelines are based on draft guidelines proposed by the Country Office, which in turn are largely based on original material produced by Procasur. They reflect the experience gained by Procasur in its work with rural communities and organizations in the Global South, and are also an expression of the value that IFAD’s country programme in Sudan places on the Learning Routes methodology as a tool for rural transformation. These updated guidelines have incorporated comments and lessons from the training and field exercise undertaken with IFAD project staff in Uganda in July 2014.
The guidelines are rooted in fieldwork and real-life experiences. They are therefore a work in progress that will grow with the contributions of the communities, organizations and projects using them. Users are encouraged to be flexible and innovative, and when they discover new ways of sharing knowledge, to contribute this information to the guidelines. Users’ suggestions and ideas are essential for making the guidelines better.
Procasur Corporation in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
have partnered with the Pro-poor Value Chain Project in the Maputo and Limpopo Corridors (PROSUL) Project in ZImbabwe and the Climate Resilient Post-Harvest and Agribusiness Support Project (PASP) in Rwanda to present the Learning Initiative: “Practical solutions to adapt to climate change in the production and post-harvesting sectors: the cases of Mozambique and Rwanda”.
This initiative will host a Learning Route between the 6th and 11th of November 2016 in Mozambique and Rwanda.
The primary learning goal is to support collaborative learning and action between individuals and organizations linked to IFAD to introduce sustainable practices, adaptive technologies and climate-resilient post-harvesting infrastructures, technologies and practices. The LI will provide and facilitate opportunities to strategically fill gaps and make links between related production and post production processes in a manner that promotes more inclusive approaches and practical solutions to climate change negative impacts.

Procasur Corporation through the Learning Route methodology usually prepares a Learning Route fieldblog for its participants. So what exactly is a learning route?
A Learning Route is a continuous process of in-the-field training that seeks to broaden and diversify the markets of rural technical services, placing special value on the best experiences and knowledge of institutions, associations, communities and rural families. Each Route is organized thematically around experiences, case studies and best practices on innovative rural and local development. A learning route fieldblog is a compilation of learning tools within an interactive framework. It shares with the participants of a learning route the operational material and key aspects of the selected case studies and action plan.
A presentation by Emanuel Adiba from the Uganda Land Alliance during the Learning Route on Securing Land Resource Rights through Inclusive Business Models that took place between the 3rd and the 10th of December 2015
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in collaboration with PROCASUR had the pleasure of presenting the Learning Route: "Innovative tools and approaches to enhance gender equality in value chain development" that took place in Uganda, between the 7th and the 14th of September 2014
Through a face-to-face learning, the 8-day Learning Route presented the opportunity of learning directly in the field and from its protagonist some of the best practices on the community-led empowerment methodology known as the Gender Action Learning System (GALS), to boost pro-poor/inclusive Value Chain Development (VCD) and to improve gender equality and women's empowerment through VCD. The Main objective of this Learning Route was to reflect on how the linkages between vulnerable and powerful stakeholders in the development of Value Chains can be improved sustainably to enhance gender equality and improve rural livelihoods.
During this unique journey through knowledge, participants were supported by PROCASUR and experts, in the design of an "Innovation Plan" aimed at integrating and adopting the best practices in their respective settings and enhancing their organizations and projects. A Contest after the Learning Route prized the best three Innovation Plans with a starting capital of USD 2500.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
