| dc.description.abstract | This paper uses panel data from 1,160 smallholder farmers, especially
participants and non-participants in twenty-three regional projects from
five countries in East Africa – Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and
Uganda. In this paper, regional projects mean projects implemented
jointly in at least three countries, thereby providing sustainable regional
public goods. Propensity score matching analysis is used to determine
the difference in net benefits accrued to the on-farm participants
compared to non-participants. The propensity scores show that
participants have overall higher crop and livestock productivity,
enhanced household income, increased soil and water management,
and access to biofortified foods compared to non-participants. These
findings indicate that regional projects can catalyse the achievement of
smallholder farmers’ food and nutrition security, besides enhancing
achievements of the African Union Commission’s Comprehensive Africa
Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). | en_US |
