I send my sincere gratitude and greetings to all who managed to get to the New Year -2015. It has been a while without any discussion in our community of practice on seed security issues around the horn of Africa (HoA). I know end (2014) and beginning of 2015 had their tolls on our workload, but I believe we all got through.

Seed Security Assessment updates:


*         Kenya: Towards the end of last year, FAO Kenya in collaboration with County Government (Agricultural Department) conducted a seed security assessment in the South Eastern Livelihood zone. Key findings are as summarized in the attached document.  Any comment on the  findings and recommendation is welcome.


*         Malawi: The recent flood in Malawi has call for humanitarian response. For effective and efficient response, FAO in Collaboration with CRS is organizing a Rapid Seed Security Assessment from 16th to 28th of this month.


*         Uganda: A seed security assessment will be conducted in West Nile by the Integrated Seed Sector Development (ISSD) Programme with technical support from FAO . This assessment will commence in the second week of March.

Please let us know if you are planning any seed security assessment in your country/region, and do not hesitate to contact us for any technical support.

Wishing you all a happy New Year!!

Regards,

Joseph Okidi
