3E Africa recently convened a transformative Stakeholder Engagement and project showcase at our offices in Molo, bringing together farmers, community leaders, county government representatives, development partners, and civil society organizations. The event served as a platform to reflect on progress, share impact stories, strengthen partnerships, and chart a collective path forward for climate-resilient and inclusive rural development.
The day opened with welcoming remarks from the 3E Africa team, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in advancing sustainable livelihoods and environmental stewardship. This was followed by a symbolic tree planting session, a clear demonstration of 3E Africa’s commitment to ecosystem restoration and climate action. County officials, partners, and community representatives actively participated, reinforcing the shared responsibility for environmental conservation.
The heart of the event featured thematic presentations and farmer testimonies that showcased how 3E Africa’s integrated approach, anchored in Environment, Entrepreneurship, and Energy is delivering tangible results on the ground. In the dairy value chain, beneficiaries shared how fodder diversification had improved milk production, alongside cooperative development and access to clean energy solutions. Farmers spoke of increased productivity and reduced household energy costs, while Mau Juhudi cooperative leaders outlined next steps for market integration and growth.
The coffee value chain session highlighted ongoing farmer training and cooperative strengthening efforts in Subukia sub-county, with a strong focus on preparing smallholder farmers for EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance, a critical step toward accessing premium and sustainable markets. Farmer testimonies reflected renewed confidence and improved farm management practices. In Baringo, the spotlight was on women farmers and local groups in ASAL contexts, showcasing achievements in regenerative agriculture, resilience-building, and enterprise development, with lessons on scaling climate-smart interventions in dryland areas.
A dedicated session demonstrated how the three pillars work together to create holistic community transformation. Under Environment, initiatives such as regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and seed conservation are restoring soils, improving food security, and building climate resilience. Entrepreneurship efforts focus on supporting smallholder farmers, especially women and youth, through value chain development, cooperative strengthening, and enterprise diversification. Meanwhile, the Energy pillar promotes biogas and circular farming systems that convert waste into clean energy and organic fertilizer.
The event was enriched by remarks from County government representatives and institutional partners, who reaffirmed their commitment to supporting farmer-led development and climate-smart initiatives. A practical highlight was the official handover of biogas kits, improved cooking stoves, and milk cans to beneficiary farmers, demonstrating 3E Africa’s commitment to linking strategy with tangible support for sustainable livelihoods.
Looking ahead, 3E Africa envisions scaling integrated programs that address climate change, food security, clean energy access, and inclusive economic growth. We invite partners to explore opportunities for collaboration, funding, and joint initiatives that build on proven, community-driven models.
At 3E Africa, we believe that stakeholder involvement coupled with partnerships is the cornerstone of sustainable development. Together, we can create resilient communities, restore ecosystems, and empower farmers for a brighter future. https://youtu.be/GZTxLWHPuoY
