Enhancing Soil Health and Agroecology in Kenya
This brief provides an overview of the Investing in Livelihood Resilience and Soil Health in ACP Countries (ILSA) programme in Kenya, funded by the European Union and implemented by IFAD.
Indigenous peoples, who often live in rural areas of developing countries and face high levels of poverty and food insecurity, are an important constituency for IFAD.
In working with them, we have learned the importance of recognizing the diversity and distinctiveness of indigenous peoples and rural communities and of valuing and building on their cultural identity as an asset and economic potential.
Thirty years after IFAD made its first loan in support of indigenous peoples, we are better equipped to strengthen our links with these communities.
