1. Key Outputs, Outcomes and Innovations
The key outputs of the project include the following;
1. Project Coordinating and Monitoring Committee formed to ensure project ownership and sustainability.
2. Trained over 300 persons on Climate change, Climate Smart and sustainable agricultural practices. Practically demonstrated to the farmer?s how to make compost manure and tree planting.
3. Over 140 women trained on the production of energy efficient stoves
4. Over 100 women trained on pasteurization of tomatoes
5. Over 2000 indigenous trees distributed and planted by the community members
6. . Women are now producing the stove for their own use while at the same time they have been encouraged to produce for sell. Also 2 people showed interest in mass producing the form work for commercial purposes. Apart from helping to reduce the rate of tree felling for firewood in the community it will serve as a source of income to some of the women.
7. Encouraged the community on how to avert waste and post- harvest tomatoes loss through the pasteurization process.
8. At least 2000 Information, Education and communication materials produced to enhance information dissemination and knowledge sharing.

The major outcomes include the following:
i. The Over 200 trained environmental champions have introduced environmental conservation practices and knowledge about climate change in their homes and communities leading to Green and cleaner environment, reduced bush burning and more climate action.


ii. The women now have increased income as their tomatoes produce lasts longer without spoiling
iii. The beneficiaries now save money that would have been used to buy more firewood as the firewood consumption has been reduced.
iv. Increased Tree canopy, atheistic and carbon sequestration
v. Reduced deforestation as a result of the energy efficient stove
vi. Community awareness and knowledge on climate change and environmental issues increased by 70%
vii. New entrepreneurs emerged as they now produce and sell energy stoves, organic manure and pasteurized tomatoes
i. What would you say are the key innovations that make your project stand out and were critical to successful environmental, social and economic outcomes?
The Production of the energy conservation stoves by the members of the community, to production of a compost structure for the production of organic manure and also the production of pasteurized tomatoes by the community members were critical to the successful environmental, social and economic outcomes.
ii. How did you engage the local community and key stakeholders to participate in the project?
The local community and key stakeholders were engaged in this project from the project designing and planning stage. The project at the conceptual and planning stage did involve different members from the various villages in the community as well as representatives from the traditional heads
The implementation was equally done by the community stakeholders with the guidance of GLADi Staff and the Project Coordinating and Monitoring Committee. The monitoring and evaluation also involves are stakeholders.

iii. What were the principal positive aspects of the project?
The active participation of the project beneficiaries

iv. What were the principal deficiencies of the project?
Lack of time in the execution of
v. Products generated by the project:
Energy Efficient Stoves
Organic Manure
2000 trees planted
Pasteurized tomatoes

vi. List and discuss any innovative idea, product, process developed during this project?
The pasteurization process of tomato for longer shelf life was an innovation towards the preservation of tomatoes in the local communities
There was also the production and fabrication of energy efficient stoves which was an innovation to conserve the use of fuel wood by the locals
There was also the production of a compost structure for the segregation of waste and making of organic manure as fertilizers
vii. List and describe (if any) all unplanned outputs and or products
NIL
viii. Direct beneficiaries of Project, Capacity Building and Training/Skill acquisition
200 people trained on environmental stewardship, climate change and renewable energy
100 persons trained on pasteurization of tomatoes
140 trained on the production of energy efficient stove
100 persons trained on compost making

ix. Describe the immediate and/or direct benefits received by the participants and/or the recipient communities?
The Participants received 500 trees to be planted in their houses, energy stoves produced are being used by the beneficiaries and two grinding machines for their immediate use.


Environmental Impact
? What measurable impact has the project had in terms of environmental protection since the beginning of the project? Where possible, please provide statistics and numbers that document the change or impact of the project over time.
The project improved the livelihood of the community through pasteurization of tomatoes have saved farmers from post-harvest loss by 70%
The production and use of the energy efficient stove have reduced carbon emissions by 20% and reduced deforestation by 35%
The Production of organic manure through composting, have reduced the use and purchase of fertilizers by 25%,


? What have been the secondary benefits?
The secondary beneficiary of this project is the General community as a whole and the environment. The over 540 trained environmental champions are from different Villages in the Communities who have introduced environmental conservation and knowledge about climate change in their homes leading to Green and cleaner environment reduced bush burning and climate action. Also, there is also a reduced cutting of trees in the communities, more production of tomatoes in the villages which has also increased the income of farmers in the community.
? How does your group measure the environmental impacts?
We measure the environmental impact of this project by comparing the state of the environment before, during and after the project implementation. The amount used in purchasing fuel wood has reduced, there has also been tree canopy and high carbon sequestration as a result of the tree planted which has also lead to cleaner air, reduced soil degradation as a result of the use of organic manure]
Socio-economic impacts
? What measurable change has there been in local incomes and job opportunities? (change in average household income, job creation, revenues, livelihood diversification, livelihood/income diversification, market access etc.)
The project has trained and created job opportunities in the production of energy efficient stoves, production of organic manure and pasteurized tomatoes that has long shelf life
Have there been secondary benefits? (Investments in infrastructure, poverty reduction, higher awareness, etc.)
YES
? Have revenues from the project been reinvested into school fees, hospitals, local infrastructure, etc?
YES
Policy Impacts
? In what ways has your initiative advocated for policy change?
There was a call to reduce the amount of tree felling in the communities.
? Has there been success in influencing policy at what level (community, institution, municipal, regional) and what were the critical factors that made that success possible?
The traditional council were able to influence the communities on the need to plant trees within their houses.
? What have been the barriers and the successes removing these barriers?
Lack of Political Will from the political leaders.
? Have there been any regional (sub-national) or national policies or laws that were enacted or changed as a result of your project?
NO
? (Biodiversity specific) Has your community engaged in the planning, implementation or review of National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plans?
NO
? (Climate Change specific) Has your community engaged in the planning, implementation or review of the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs)?
NO
