2. THE RUAF-CITIES FARMING FOR THE FUTURE PROGRAMME IN 2006
See the RUAF website www.ruaf.org for a description of the objectives,
strategies and partners in the RUAF-CFF programme. Also the earlier RUAF-UPDATES
can be found here.
In the second half of 2006 the Regional RUAF centres have started their
activities in the first 6 pilot cities: Villa Maria del Triunfo (Lima,
Peru); Pikine (Dakar, Senegal); Accra (Ghana); Bulawayo (Zimbabwe);
Hyderabad
(India); and Beijing (China).
Capacity Building
In each region a Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop was implemented varying
from 6 to 10 days. Some ToT’s were regional in focus, while others
focused more on one country and pilot city. Trainers were selected that
have good knowledge on (certain key aspects of) urban agriculture and
with some training experiences. During the training of trainers’
workshop, the design and modules of the planned training activities were
discussed. Also their skills in participatory training were strengthened.
Subsequently the trainers were actively involved in the adaptation of
the existing RUAF materials and session plans (developed earlier this
year) to the regional/local context and priority learning needs of the
potential trainees (which had been assessed in advance) often followed
by a rehearsal / practice run.
For example: The regional RUAF partner MDP organised the Training of
Trainers’ workshop held from the 14th to the 17th of November at
the Quality International Hotel in Harare. It was attended by 12 trainers
drawn from Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Uganda.
Subsequently, the regional partners and trainers implemented in the 6
pilot cities a Capacity Building workshop on Multi-Stakeholder Policy
formulation and Action Planning (MPAP) on Urban Agriculture with a duration
of 10 to 15 days. Participants were drawn from Municipal Departments,
Other governmental organisations, NGOs, Research institutions and Farmer
Organisations, with in total 101 participants mainly from the pilot cities.
In addition some representatives from 9 dissemination cities were invited
in order to develop the linkages between pilot and dissemination cities.
For example: The regional RUAF partner IWMI-Ghana organised in Accra
a Capacity Building workshop with 27 participants from various organisations
based in Accra with a duration of 10 days. Also participants from Ibadan,
Nigeria and Freetown, Sierra Leone and Kumasi and Tamale in Ghana, RUAF
dissemination cities, were invited to orientate them on the RUAF programme
and MPAP-process.
In addition, in some regions short duration Thematic training workshops
were organised, in cooperation with local specialist organisations, to
answer specific training needs that were identified during the above mentioned MPAP Capacity building workshop and other activities implemented in the
pilot city.
For example: in Beijing, on request of local communities the regional
RUAF centre organised a training workshop on agro-tourism held on December
15-16, in cooperation with the Beijing Agriculture Committee (the main
RUAF local partner institute in Beijing) and the Beijing Tourism Bureau.
There were 63 participants (farm households that recently started agro-tourism
activities).
Results
The monitoring data indicate that the training activities were quite successful.
Not only that the participants developed new capacities but most of them
also started to apply these new skills in their work and many of them
replicated parts of the training in their own organisation.
In some countries, the training also made impacts at national level
For example: In Ghana, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, after having
been informed on the results of the RUAF Capacity Building Workshop organised
nation wide training for agricultural extension officers on urban agriculture
and organised a one-day national policy seminar “Urban Agriculture;
Contributing to the Millennium Development Goals�.
After revision, the training materials will be made available on the
global and regional RUAF websites. Also the preparation of a distance
learning course on urban agriculture has started.
Participatory action planning
As a first step in the participatory planning process in the six pilot
cities a local “MPAP-UA core team� (sometimes named “Urban
Agriculture enabling team� or “technical support team�)
was created, consisting of representatives of local organisations that
are interested to participate in the multi-stakeholder planning process
on urban agriculture and staff of the regional RUAF centres. Composition
of the MPAP-UA core team includes normally one or more Municipal Departments
and one or more NGO’s, research institutes and farmer organisations.
The local teams implemented in each pilot city an Exploratory Survey
including a Stakeholder analysis, a Policy review, Mapping of presence
of urban agriculture in the city and available open spaces, and a Diagnosis
of the situation regarding urban agriculture in the city (number and types
of urban farmers, potentials, problems, constraints) based on literature
review and rapid participatory diagnosis in selected zones.
For example: In Accra (Ghana) the team was sub-divided
in sub teams each taking responsibility for one component of the exploratory
survey and led by a coordinator (with specific knowledge on that component).
During monthly meetings of the MPAP-UA team, progress of the activities
by each sub-team was assessed and interim results were shared and discussed.
Also six Policy Awareness Seminars have been held: 2 at national level
(in Zimbabwe and Ghana) and 4 at local level (3 in pilot cities and 1
in a dissemination city). In these seminars mayors, councillors, town
clerks, senior staff Municipal departments and representatives of governmental
organisations, etcetera participated in the analysis of the results of
the exploratory survey (summarized in a “policy narrative�).
This with the aim to enhance their awareness on the presence, potentials
and problems of urban agriculture as well as to create a basis for the
multi-stakeholder planning process on urban agriculture.
For example: In Lima, the Regional RUAF partner IPES organized a Policy
seminar that was attended by 20 participants mostly mayors, councillors
and other policy makers from Villa Maria del Triunfo and some guests from
neighbouring Municipalities: Villa el Salvador and San Juan de Miraflores. As a result
of the seminar, mayors and representatives drafted and signed a municipal
declaration that recognizes urban agriculture as a strategy for enhancing
food security and creating more inclusive, productive and ecological cities
and states the main municipal strategies for promoting urban agriculture
to be developed, including: facilitate access to land through use of vacant
plots and tax exemptions, enhance access to water through reuse of treated
wastewater and gray water, improve access to inputs through re-use of
organic waste, enhance access to capital through inclusion in existing
micro credit systems and participatory budgets, and to strengthen and
empower urban producers.
In two regions study visits were realised in order to give follow up
to the awareness created in the Policy seminars by facilitating contacts
with counterparts in other cities that have gained already more experiences
in policy development and action planning on urban agriculture.
For example: Five participants of Villa Maria del Triunfo (Peru) visited
Rosario in Argentina to exchange experiences on the integration of urban
agriculture in municipal policies on urban agriculture and the design
of urban agriculture projects with unemployed persons. In Beijing, representatives
of surrounding districts visited Xinjiang district (all in Beijing) to
discuss the development of agro-tourism as well as the establishment and
functioning of cooperatives producing vegetables.
Results
The above mentioned activities have yielded good results in most cities,
while in one case (Hyderabad) the process is requiring more time to take
off. In China, due to the specific political context, the planning process
develops in a different way (but quite dynamic!).
In four cities (Villa Maria del Triunfo, Bulawayo, Pikine and Accra)
Multi-Stakeholder Forums have been established, consisting of representatives
of a large number of stakeholders in urban agriculture. The Forums established
one or more Working Groups that will develop a strategic action plan on
Urban Agriculture and lead the formulation of Pilot Projects. In Beijing
pilot projects are being formulated although a Multi-Stakeholder Forum
is not yet established as is the case in Hyderabad. The Beijing city authorities
included urban agriculture as one of the strategic themes for its next
5 year plan, which creates an enormous boost for research and action projects
on urban agriculture in this city.
Information and Knowledge Management
In all regions information Needs Assessments have been undertaken. This
information is used to identify what kind of information, each type of
stakeholders in urban agriculture is requiring and the best ways to bring
this information to their knowledge. This forms the basis for the development
of specific materials, including policy briefs, fact sheets, videos, guidelines,
case studies, etcetera.
Some of these materials are quite specific for each location and produced
by one regional RUAF centre, while others are produced in close coordination
between all RUAF partners, like the Urban Agriculture Magazine and thematic
working materials.
Example: The RUAF centre in Latin America produced a short video “Agriculture
in the city: a reality� (of 7 minutes) as an important input for
the Policy Seminar in Villa Maria del Triunfo.
Based on the experiences gained in the various regions, a RUAF working
paper on “Gender in Urban Agriculture� is under preparation,
including a conceptual framework, practical guidelines and case studies.
Each regional RUAF centre maintains a regional contacts- and bibliographic
database (accessible through Internet) and the
regional website.
Results
The number of subscribers of the Urban Agriculture Magazine has grown
with about 20 % this year and new versions (Arabic and Turkish) have been
added to the existing English, French, Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese
versions.
The needs assessments and the stronger link between the production of
the information materials and the training and local planning activities
have greatly enhanced the effectivity of the information materials produced.

The website contains information on the RUAF-CFF activities in each pilot
city as well as linkages with the regional RUAF-websites which contain
more specific information on the regional activities in local languages.
* Inter-regional Exchange and Action-oriented Research Project on Urban
Producers’ Organisations
IPES- Promotion for Sustainable Development (Peru) and ETC Urban Agriculture
(The Netherlands) are implementing an action-oriented research project
denominated “Social organisation of urban and peri-urban producers;
Management models and innovative partnerships for policy advocacy�.
This project seeks to identify strategies, management mechanisms and innovative
partnerships, implemented by Social Organisations of Urban and Peri-Urban
Producers (SOUPP) of Latin America and Europe, which have allowed them
to improve their access to resources (credit, land, inputs, markets, etc.)
and/or to influence in the formulation and implementation of UPA programmes
and public policies. Both local as international agenda(s) for action-oriented
research will be developed that identify objectives and activities needed
to further strengthen the urban and peri-urban producers’ organisations
of Latin America and Eastern Europe.
As part of the project, an inter-regional exchange visit of producers’
organisations took place in September 2005, which allowed a group of urban
and peri-urban producers from Latin America and Eastern Europe to visit
2 producers’ organisations in The Netherlands (in Amsterdam and
Brabant) and to share their own experiences.
Main lessons identified by the participants relate a.o to:
- The importance of permanent and transparent internal communication
on the organisations’ objectives (on short and long term), activities
and successes. This is crucial to retain the credibility of the management
and increase the involvement of the members (“that they understand
why they contribute to the organisation and see that their efforts have
a positive result�). This information and communication should be
adapted to different types of members (in terms of language and media
used, as well as in terms of frequency of communication).
- Organisations need to be flexible enough to change and adapt to new
circumstances, such as is the case in Hungary where the organisation was
first involved in providing information on organic agriculture, then worked
to provide an organic certification system, while now their challenge
is to respond to new demands like supporting marketing and search for
funds.
- Partnerships among urban producers and other urban actors render (peri)
urban agriculture more multi-functional and enables it to connect usefully
with the rest of the city (food production, health care, recreational
opportunities): a precondition for the longer-term survival of (peri)
urban agriculture.
- Strong producer organisations are important to become valued urban actors,
be listened to and be supported by the local government. In doing so,
they must not only defend their own interests, but also speak “an
urban language� and show they can help other urban actors solve
their problems (for example by offering recreational opportunities to
urban citizens).
A DVD will be made illustrating some of the experiences studied and will
be showed on the upcoming World Urban Forum in Vancouver. The various
cases study reports, local agendas and other project documents will soon
be available on the IPES website: www.ipes.org
In October 2005, FAO-PAIA Food for the Cities organised a workshop in
Rome in the context of a sister-project to the fore-mentioned IPES/ETC
project, that aims to generate knowledge that will help to better understand
the types and performance of existing formal and informal urban and peri-urban
producer organisations in cities of developing countries (mainly located
in Africa and Asia), strengthen these and promote new organisations which
will be more effective and sustainable. The project inception workshop
denominated “Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture: Towards a
better understanding of low-income producers’ organisations�,
counted with participation of various RUAF partners, FAO staff and representatives
of international organisations promoting UA and aimed at i) ensuring a
common understanding of the FAO/IDRC project and its goals and ways and
means of implementation ; ii) developing a common approach and methodology
for city case study implementation; iii) finalizing the project work plan
and defining respective contributions, roles and responsibilities for
its implementation. Selected cities (Harare-Zimbabwe, Dakar-Senegal, Cairo-Egypt,
Accra-Ghana, Phnom Penh-Cambodia, Hyderabad-India, and Caracas -Venezuela)
will be starting their work in 2006.

* RUAF and Urban agriculture on the World Urban Forum (19-23 June, Vancouver-Canada).
Urban agriculture will feature in different networking events on the
upcoming UN Habitat World Urban Forum (WUF). More information on the WUF
can be found on the HABITAT website:
www.unhabitat.org/wuf/2006, where
one can also register for participation.
Although, unfortunately we cannot support you with funding for travel
and lodging, we hope to meet in Vancouver with many interested city authorities
and urban agriculture practitioners and researchers around the world!!
During the World Urban Forum the following three networking events will
be implemented:
a. Cultivating Inclusive Cities: Multi-stakeholder Policy Making and
Action Planning for Urban Agriculture and Food Security
This session is organised by RUAF and will consist of a panel presenting
4 experiences from the perspectives of different actors (NGO, research
organisation, urban farmer leader and municipal councillor). The panel
will be chaired by the acting Chief of Urban Development Branch UN-HABITAT
and a brief introductory presentation will be made by the Coordinator
of the RUAF-Cities Farming for the Future programme.
Panellists form Hyderabad, Villa Maria del Triunfo (Lima), Harare and
Pikine (Dakar) will offer engaging accounts of their experience in local
multi-stakeholder processes aimed at facilitating the development of policies
and action plans for the legitimisation and benefit of urban farmers and
vulnerable groups in cities of the South. The audience will be asked to
share their own experiences related to the topics presented by the panellists
and to take part in the action learning ongoing in the RUAF programme
and to encourage local multi-stakeholder planning on urban agriculture
in their own cities (and eventually present pilot projects to the competitive
fund managed by RUAF).
For more information contact: Henk de Zeeuw, RUAF coordinator (h.dezeeuw@etcnl.nl)
b. Growing better cities to enhance food security, create jobs and protect
the environment
This session is organized by IDRC, in cooperation with RUAF partners ETC-Urban
Agriculture and IGSNRR.
In this panel local authorities from Beijing, Kampala, Rosario and Vancouver
will share their experiences and discuss next steps in strengthening the
contribution of various forms of urban and peri-urban agriculture to different
“city visions�(e.g. the inclusive city, the productive city,
the sustainable city). The panel will highlight how these innovative policies
are already helping cities meet their development challenges.
For more information contact: Marielle Dubbeling, senior advisor ETC-UA
(m.dubbeling@etcnl.nl)
c. Partnering with the poor: leveraging land for change
The session is organized by McGill University-Canada in cooperation with
RUAF partner ETC Urban Agriculture and supported by IDRC. This panel is
based on the experiences gained in the Making the Edible Landscape project,
jointly implemented by the above mentioned organisations and local partners
in Kampala, Colombo and Rosario.
It will explore how land can be utilized by local authorities for (1)
low-cost housing for the urban poor (2) inclusion in low cost housing
projects of urban food production and empowerment of citizens through
participatory processes, commercialization and income-generation (3) public-private
partnership for sustainable development. Four mayors, horticulturists,
housing experts and community representatives from the above mentioned
cities as well as from Montreal will present urban upgrading and new construction
projects that include food production and where the community plays an
active part in both the decision-making and the maintenance of public
lands.

* Credit and finance
Since April 2005, the RUAF partner IAGU in Francophone West Africa is
coordinating the project “Alternative strategies to finance urban
farmers in West Africa� funded by IDRC and implemented in cooperation
with its partners in the Francophone Network in Senegal, Mali, Mauritania
and Benin.
The objectives of the project are: the analysis of the demand for credit
and finance by urban farmers, the analysis of the credit and finance mechanisms
available in the city and their accessibility for urban farmers, the enhancement
of the capacity to apply for credit and finance, and influencing credit
and finance institutions to improve their financial mechanisms in order
to enhance their accessibility and relevance for urban farmers.
In July 2005 a methodological workshop on financing of urban agriculture was organised
to harmonise concepts and tools for the study
cases implemented in each target city.
The proceedings of this workshop can be obtained by sending a request to
Moussa Sy (moussa@iagu.org),

* Waste water Agriculture and Sanitation for Poverty Alleviation (WASPA)
RUAF partners IWMI-Ghana and IWMI-India are participating in the
WASPA project, that is coordinated by IRC. The project started in 2005
and is operating in Kurunegala (Sri Lanka), Rajashahi (Bangladesh), Mopti
(Mali) and Bobo Dialossou (Burkina Faso). Initial contacts have been
established in Lima (Peru).
WASPA’s objectives are the alleviation of poverty through the better
hygiene and environmental sanitation and improvement of nutritional status
and income levels among poor urban dwellers through the productive use
of wastewater in peri-urban areas of large towns and secondary cities.
WASPA will focus on decentralized wastewater management approaches for
peri-urban neighbourhoods in secondary cities and towns, by enhancing
the skills and capacity to plan sanitation, regulate pollution and to
implement agricultural and management practices to minimize risks to users
and consumers, and propose strategies that will contribute to laws and
regulations.

* Hyderabad as Mega city of tomorrow: Sustainable Urban Food and Health
Security and Environment Resource Management
RUAF partner IWMI-India is involved in the preparation of a new research
project in which urban agriculture constitutes a central issue that will
have a duration of about nine years. The proposed project will be funded
by BMBF (German Ministry for Education and Research) and is coordinated
by the Humboldt University of Berlin, Resource Economics Department, Germany
while several partners will implement the research and implementation
activities. The project focuses on several aspects of development of mega
cities including urban environment, food and nutrition, health and transport.
The project is currently in a preparatory phase, during which detailed
plans of action will be developed. A workshop will be held during the
1st week of March with all the stakeholders to discuss and design the
pilot study projects.
More details about the project con be obtained
from the website:

* Evaluation of Heifer North America Urban Agriculture Programme
RUAF partner ETC-Urban Agriculture has been requested to work with Heifer
International Programme (HPI) to assess the past ten year of experiences
of the HPI Urban Agriculture Programme in North America, document lessons
learned, and contribute to the development of Heifer’s strategy
regarding supporting local Urban Agriculture initiatives in this region,
as well as in an international context.
HPI is supporting several community based projects in Chicago, New York,
and in other cities in USA, Canada and Mexico in urban livestock, horticulture,
aquaculture, vermiculture, etcetera. ETC-UA sees this activity not only
as a service to HPI, but also as partnership building between ETC-UA and
HPI and the organisations they are collaborating with and in building
city alliances, like the recent inception meeting of the Chicago Food
Policy Council.
For more information on HPI: see
www.heifer.org. More information on
the evaluation study can be obtained from Rene van Veenhuizen (Email:

* Urban Agriculture Magazine issue 15 on Multiple Functions of Urban
Agriculture
No. 15 of the UA Magazine on Multiple Functions of Urban Agriculture
(the English edition) has been distributed to our readers in January.
This issue of the UA Magazine was co-edited by Leo van den Berg of ALTERRA
– Wageningen University and contains 19 articles.
This issue presents examples of (combinations of) the different functions
urban agriculture can have. It also includes contributions on alternative
design of urban neighbourhoods, including space for urban agriculture,
and how to value agriculture against the costs of the current food system
or alternative urban land uses. It is argued that farmers should be aware
of the “externalities� of their work and “internalise�
these in the exploitation of their land. The positive externalities can
provide them with additional income, while the negative ones involve costs.
Several examples in this issue show that the parties concerned can work
together towards a fairer sharing of the many different costs and benefits
of this “multifunctional� urban and peri-urban agriculture.
New forms of governance, institutions, and policies are needed, to be
constructed by seeking synergies and involving multiple stakeholders in
these processes.
The electronic version of the UA-Magazine is available on the RUAF website
(www.ruaf.org)
* Urban Agriculture Magazine – Other languages
The Spanish edition of no. 13 and 14 of the UA-Magazine, no 12, 13 and
14 of the French edition and no’s 12 and 13 of the Chinese version have
been distributed to their readers and are available at their website.
Meanwhile no’s 1-10 have been translated in Portuguese and are available
at the regional website. Three issues of the UA-Magazine have been published in
Turkish, while the second issue of the Arabic edition of the UA-Magazine.
For weblinks to the regional editions see below
