Introduction to the Strategic plan
Process / who was involved
This strategic plan’s development started with an organisational reflection meeting with fifteen participants drawn from staff, board members, farmers and partner organisations (held on the 1st February 2024 at the KGA centre at Burns Creek in Honiara).
This was followed by 3 strategic planning meetings that were held to consult with farmers, staff and stakeholder to develop this plan:
- Gizo, Western Province (20th June 2024)
- Gwaunafiu, Malaita Province (9-10 July, 2024)
- Burns Creek, Honiara (12 July, 2024)
These meetings and the development of the strategic plan was made possible through support from PIFON and the FO4ACP project of IFAD funded by the European Union.
Reflection & lessons learned
Key strengths of KGA are: its network of active farmers who have developed organic farming solutions and can train and demonstrate simple solutions for other farmers; promoting locally grown food and nutrition based on local production; conservation and diversification of crop varieties through the PMN; has the capacity to access donor
support; works effectively with and empowers women farmers. KGA has a strong and wide network of partners that ranges from community based groups through to national organisations, government and regional and international partners.
Where we want to go?
The Vision and Mission of KGA remain as relevant today as they were when the organisation was founded. We will continue to focus on them to guide us. During this strategic plan period 2025-2030 we will specifically focus on two big issues that we believe are the greatest threats facing our farmer members.
