As the National Coordinator for Green Africa [8], 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.
