Company Description
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization that applies practical know-how to make a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty. We use our extensive and long-term in-country presence to apply and adapt our top-notch expertise in agriculture, energy, and WASH to local contexts. SNV has an annual turnover of €130 million, over 1,250 staff in more than 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are proud to be a not-for-profit organization that uses project financing to implement our mission. This requires us to work efficiently and to invest in operational excellence.
In its current Strategic Plan period (2019 – 2022), SNV will more explicitly aim for systems change during project preparation and implementation - by strengthening institutions and kick-starting markets that help many more to escape poverty beyond our projects. We will continue to position ourselves as a premium organization, with decentralized management.
The Veggies for Planet & People (V4P&P) is a five-year project (2020-2025) being implemented by SNV, the Netherlands Development Organisation and the World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) with the support of IKEA Foundation. The project is implemented in two countries: Ethiopia and Kenya.
The overall project objectives are:
To create jobs and income, particularly for youth and women, in the vegetable sector in Ethiopia and Kenya
To improve environmental and human health through safe production of vegetables.
The project will achieve these objectives by establishing 200 Vegetable Business Networks (VBNs) (120 in Kenya, 80 in Ethiopia) to engage an estimated 4000 women and youth in market activities designed to improve their livelihoods and diets.
The V4P&P project has four main outcome areas:
Identification, assessment and strengthening of Vegetable Business Networks (VBNs)
Promotion of use of regenerative and circular technologies in vegetable production
Building of strong commercial vegetable seed systems
Awareness and demand creation for sustainable technologies, business services, seeds, other inputs, and safe vegetables and vegetable products.
The project uses an action-oriented approach in which new tools and technologies are developed, piloted, and scaled through Vegetable Business Networks (VBNs). The VBNs are platforms for networking and boosting the functioning of food systems as well as through public and private sector partners. VBNs are composed of farmer groups, agrodealers, input distributors, irrigation service providers, government bodies, financial service providers, other business support services and consumers.
