Creative Financing to Make Small-Scale Farming Technologies Affordable for the Rural Poor
Small-scale farming is the principal source of livelihood for many in Kenya. Agriculture provides 71 percent of employment and accounts for over 25 percent of Kenya‘s GDP. KickStart International’s shallow water irrigation pumps can increase annual net-farm incomes for these farmers by an average of $700 per year. Despite the relatively low cost of KickStart’s pumps, however, they are still beyond the reach of many poor farmers who often have irregular incomes and find it difficult to pay the large up-front cost of the pump. With support from DIV, KickStart is testing two innovative financing mechanisms to increase access to these products and help break down critical financial barriers.

Part of the Hale Village Development by Lee Valley Estates. Masterplan by BDP
§ Quotation below from RUDI (Resource for Urban Design Information) website.
"BDP was commissioned by Lee Valley Estates to provide a masterplan for the former GLS [Greater London Supplies] site located immediately adjacent to Tottenham Hale Station in the London Borough of Haringey in north London."
"The residential-led scheme will include a mix of uses including office, education, health, a hotel and local retail. The residential element will comprise 900 private tenure units and 300 affordable units, and at a density in line with the GLA recommendations for brown field sites. The site will be fully accessible and permeable, and provide amenities for existing local residents and workers in the area."
"Key sustainability features for the site include:
● CCHP (combined, cooling, heating and power generation) as part of a whole site-wide energy infrastructure scheme – biomass boilers that will provide a minimum of 10 percent CO2 savings from the site through provision of thermal energy for the district heating network
● Brownfield site adjacent to major transport hub
● Rainwater harvesting
● Green roofs
"This scheme demonstrates how imaginative private sector investment can generate a mixed and sustainable development. The project will at the same time set a new and higher quality benchmark for future investment in the area and kick start the regeneration of Tottenham Hale."
I wonder if BDP click their ruby slippers, and ever follow the gold- brick road back to the Orange and Emerald City they birthed?
