IN 2024, SFL ASSISTED 300 FAMILIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR SHELTERS, EACH OF THESE FAMILIES BENEFITED FROM A LATRINE; 15 NEW MINI-SOLAR BOREHOLES WERE BUILT TO FACILITATE THEIR ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER. THESE 300 HOUSEHOLDS ALSO RECEIVED HYGIENE KITS AND HAND-WASHING STATIONS AND 1,200 MENSTRUAL HYGIENE KITS WERE DISTRIBUTED. PROJECT BENEFICIARIES ARE SELECTED FROM AMONG THE MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES OF FORMER REFUGEES AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED POPULATIONS, WHO HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR HOME VILLAGES IN CASAMANCE. THE PROJECT HAS HAD A DIRECT IMPACT ON MORE THAN 20,700 PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN CASAMANCE, THE SOUTHERN REGION OF SENEGAL.LIFFT CASHEW GUINEA BISSAU PROGRAMSHELTER FOR LIFE INTERNATIONAL BEGAN WORKING IN GUINEA BISSAU IN 2019. FOLLOWING YEARS OF POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND INTERNAL CONFLICT, GUINEA BISSAU'S ECONOMY HAS STAGNATED. GUINEA BISSAU IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CASHEW PRODUCERS IN WEST AFRICA, AND THE QUALITY OF ITS CASHEWS IS CONSIDERED MORE DESIRABLE IN GLOBAL MARKETS, BUT BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A FRAGILE STATE, THE COUNTRY HAS HAD DIFFICULTY ATTRACTING INVESTMENT IN THE HARVESTING, PROCESSING, AND TRADE OF CASHEWS TO GLOBAL MARKETS. GUINEA BISSAU ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN 60% OF CASHEW NUTS PRODUCTION WITHIN SEGABI REGION. SFL'S WORK IN GUINEA BISSAU IS PART OF ITS REGIONAL CASHEW VALUE CHAIN PROGRAM, FUNDED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024, A TOTAL OF 1,553 CUBIC METERS OF INFRASTRUCTURE (STORAGE SPACE) WERE REHABILITATED IN GUINEA-BISSAU AS PART OF EFFORTS TO ENHANCE THE CASHEW VALUE CHAIN. A BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) EVENT WAS ORGANIZED TO FACILITATE COLLABORATION AMONG ALL STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN THE INDUSTRY. FINANCIAL SERVICES RECEIVED A BOOST WITH THE DISBURSEMENT OF $1,000,000 FROM THE CASHEW FUNDS TO TWO PROCESSORS IN GUINEA-BISSAU. THESE INVESTMENTS, ALONG WITH PRE-FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN PROCESSORS, TRADERS AND COOPERATIVES, RESULTED IN THE PROCUREMENT OF 91,902 METRIC TONS WICH TRANSLATED TO A VALUE OF USD 74,413,393 OF CASHEWS BY THE PROCESSORS AND TRADERS FROM PRODUCER COOPERATIVES SUPPORTED BY SFL. THIS ACHIEVEMENT REPRESENTS 123% OF THE FY2024 TARGET. ADDITIONALLY, 535 INDIVIDUALS HAVE BENEFITED FROM FINANCIAL SERVICES FACICLITATED BY SFL, ACHIEVING 103% OF THE LOP TARGET. 13 COOPERATIVES RECEIVED GRANTS FOR OFFICE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. MOREOVER, 1,727 PRODUCERS TRAINED BY SFL HAVE IMPLEMENTED GOOD COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, ACHIEVING 41% OF THE ANNUAL TARGET AND EXCEEDING THE LOP TARGET BY 310%. IN TERMS OF IMPROVING NUT QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY, 1,911 PRODUCERS WERE TRAINED IN GUINEA-BISSAU, ACHIEVING 44% OF THE ANNUAL TARGET AND 138% OF THE LOP. ADDITIONALLY, 6,238 PRODUCERS HAVE IMPLEMENTED THESE PRACTICES ON 20,000 HECTARES OF LAND, REACHING 86% OF THE ANNUAL TARGET AND 196% OF THE LOP.LIFFT CASHEW THE GAMBIA PROGRAM: SFL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE RE-REGISTRATION PROCESS SFL AS A NON-PROFIT NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (NGO) AND OBTAINED ITS CERTIFICATE (EARLIER ACCORDING TO THE GAMBIAN LAW IT WAS REGISTERED AS CHARITY ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE ELIGIBILITY FOR NGO STATUS REQUIRES TWO YEARS OF HAVING CHARITY ORGANIZATION). TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION IMPLEMENTED BY SFL, AN EVALUATION WAS CONDUCTED WHICH SHOWED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN ROAD TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON ROAD N1 EXPERIENCING A 251% INCREASE AND ROAD N3 SEEING A 107% INCREASE. THIS IMPROVEMENT INCREASED ACCESS TO THE MARKET FOR THE PRODUCERS, POSITIVELY IMPACTING THEIR ECONOMIC GROWTH. ADDITIONALLY, A STORAGE WAREHOUSE WITH A CAPACITY OF 2,538 CUBIC METERS WAS CONSTRUCTED THROUGH A GRANT FUND. ACCESS TO FINANCIAL SERVICES WAS ENHANCED, THROUGH SEED FUND PROVIDED TO COOPERATIVES BENEFITING 298 BENEFICIARIES, EITHER THROUGH CREDIT SCORING (ZERO INTEREST) OR JOB CREATION. SFL ORGANIZED VARIOUS B2B MEETINGS THROUGH A NUMBER OF EVENTS FOR PRODUCERS AND BUYERS BOTH FOR RAW CASHEW NUTS AND KERNEL. THE BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) INITIATIVES FACILITATED TRANSACTIONS, RESULTING IN THE SALE OF 5,070 TONS OF RAW CASHEW NUTS (RCN) FOR $5,361,886.55. SFL THROUGH ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AFRICAN CASHEW ALIANCE (ACA) CO-FINANCED THE ANNUAL AFRICAN CASHEW CONFERENCE IN SEPTEMBER 2024 THAT HAS INVOLVED OVER 500 STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING PRODUCERS, PROCESSORS, BUYERS, SCIENTISTS, MINISTRIES, INTERNATIONAL DONOR AGENCIES, AND OTHERS.
