Seed Savers Network was honoured to participate in the Change the Game – Local Fundraising (CtGA) Trajectory 20 Learning and Evaluation Course, held on 4–5 August 2026 at Dimese Retreat Centre, Nairobi.
The two-day learning and reflection space brought together organisations to assess their individual and organisational capacity in local fundraising, share experiences and best practices, identify capacity gaps and reflect on practical ways forward.
We are grateful to Misereor , Change the Game Academy and KCDF for creating a space that encourages organisations to look inward, learn from one another and build stronger, more sustainable approaches to locally led development.

Seed Savers Network joined the County Government of Nakuru and partners today for the official launch of the Agroecology Policy Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (IMEL) Framework—a significant milestone in translating the County’s Agroecology Policy into practical action.
Speaking during the launch, Seed Savers Network Executive Director Daniel Wanjama acknowledged the County Government’s goodwill and commitment to supporting farmer-managed seed systems, while appreciating the many stakeholders whose collective efforts have made this milestone possible.
He also highlighted Seed Savers Network’s deliberate efforts to address youth employment and economic opportunities through the incubation of enterprises that support agroecology. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that agroecology contributes not only to resilient food systems and biodiversity conservation, but also to sustainable livelihoods for young people.
In a fitting celebration of agroecology in action, Seed Savers farmers led the cake-cutting ceremony, with a cake baked by Indigenous Seed Village, supported by Seed Savers Network. The cake featured carrots and oats grown and milled by farmers, providing a beautiful example of the journey from farmer production to local value addition and enterprise.

Food sovereignty is more than agriculture, it is about people, justice, dignity, and the future of our food systems.
Last week, farmers and seed ambassadors, civil society organisations including Kenya Left Alliance, Ukombozi library, Wingfarm, World Food Forum, Kenya, Peasants League, Institute for Food Justice and Development, and social justice movements and activists came together at the Seed Savers Network, Kenya Learning Center in Gilgil to begin building a stronger, united movement for food sovereignty, environmental justice, and human rights. Together, and with the support of Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung we explored how the struggles faced by rural and urban communities are deeply connected, and how collective action can help shape policies that put people, communities, and the environment first.
Over the two days, participants developed a shared action plan focused on strengthening collaboration, amplifying grassroots voices, and advancing joint advocacy on critical issues including seed sovereignty, human and farmers rights, agroecology, and emerging political challenges.
Discussions also looked ahead to the 1st Eastern Africa Indigenous Seed Conference, where these conversations will continue through a collaborative side event that brings together movements from across the region.
Real change happens when movements work together. This is only the beginning.
