Martin Kailie

As the National Coordinator for Green Africa, Martin Kailie’s work focuses on the use of community mobilization and organizing strategies to facilitate the establishment of community visions and development plans, and to set up innovative projects in sustainable agriculture. He plans to target women farmers by setting up projects to empower women with access to farmland, credit, technology, markets and other production resources and services.

While in the U.S., Martin worked at YWCA of Genesee County in New York, focusing on organizing a farmer’s market to help small producers access the local consumers while monitoring cases of domestic violence in the Genesee courts.
