ASNAPP Enters Liberia. With funding from the InterChurch Organization for Development Cooperation (ICCO), ASNAPP is starting a major program in Liberia. Other partnerships are emerging to support this aggressive development program in that country. Watch this space for details...

International trade standards developed for Griffonia and Voacanga

ASNAPP (Ghana) and the Ghana Standards Board (GSB) have jointly developed international trade standards for Voacanga africana and Griffonia simplicifolia, the two leading medicinal plants of export value in Ghana. With support from Ghana's Export Development and Investment Fund (EDIF), a technical committee was drawn from relevant public and private organizations to provide technical inputs into the drafting of the standards.

Farmers benefiting from the ASNAPP vegetable production project in the Livingstone area of Zambia have made their first US $1 million income since the project started in 2006. The project involves several vulnerable community members, including orphans and widows and the those receiving palliative care.

Women geranium growers

An ASNAPP-supported project that was piloted in 2003 has spawned a community-based essential oil industry in Rwanda. Ikirezi Natural Plant Products Company resulted from a joint project involving several public and private agencies, donor organizations and the NGO community in Rwanda. This community-driven company soon grew to become the implementer of a new project, Development of the Essential Oil Industry in Rwanda for Economic Growth and Diversification, which was initiated in 2006 following the successful implementation of the Pilot Project.

Rector and Exec Dir

When the Rector & Vice Chancellor of Stellenbosch University, and the Executive Director (Operations and Finance) visited ASNAPP-supported farms in Zambia mid July 2009, they were happily surprised to have found an overwhelming enactment of the ideals of the ‘Pedagogy of Hope’. The Pedagogy of Hope which was espoused in 2007 and gave rise to the University’s Overarching Strategic Plan (OSP), maps out its development agenda towards 2015. The OSP encapsulates a vision that underpins the university’s numerous community interaction programs in and outside South Africa.

Tshwaraganang

The Tshwaraganang hydroponics project in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, one of the mentorship develelopment programs of ASNAPP has posted further increases in income following its restructuring about a year ago. As at June 30 2009, the project had cumulatively achieved R617 067.25 (US$67 148.41) as direct income to its beneficiaries since October 2008 when they began selling produce. For a community that only about a year ago earned almost nothing, this income is a giant step towards worth creation and the elimination of food insecurity from their ranks.

Vision

To expand economic opportunities for rural communities by using world class science, technologies, partnerships and business approaches to develop and enhance Africa’s competitive advantage in the Natural Plant Products industry.

Mission
To help create and develop successful African agribusinesses in the natural products sector, providing income, employment & development, through environmentally and socially conscious practices to produce high quality natural products for local, regional and overseas markets
