Farm Africa was founded in 1985 to help poor farmers and herders in Africa grow more food, keep their livestock healthy, make a basic living and manage their natural resources in a sustainable way. Farm Africa supports poor rural communities to identify and implement solutions to key problems.
Self Help Africa was formed in 2008 from a merger between two like-minded charities: UK NGO Harvest Help and Irish agency Self Help Development International. Both charities were founded in the mid-1980s in response to the Ethiopian famine and droughts that plagued many central African countries. Self Help Africa works with rural communities to help them improve their farms and their livelihoods by supporting them to grow more food, diversify their farm production, develop new off-farm enterprise, and sell their surpluses.
A three year Programme Partnership Arrangement has been agreed with Farm Africa and Self Help Africa with an initial investment of £3,078,270 for 2011-12.
