“Improving Soil Fertility Through the Use of Green Manure Cover Crops” forms part of the suite of resources developed through GIZ’s ProSoil and SOILutions programmes, sharing practical approaches to improving soil fertility and supporting more sustainable soil and land management.

“Collaborating Research Benefitting Small Scale Farmers” forms part of the suite of resources developed through GIZ’s ProSoil and SOILutions programmes, sharing knowledge and practical approaches to support small-scale farmers and strengthen sustainable land and soil management.

Through GIZ’s ProSoil and SOILutions programmes in Kenya, women farmers are putting Mucuna pruriens to work as part of more sustainable approaches to farming and soil management. Used as a cover crop and green manure, Mucuna pruriens can help improve soil fertility while supporting more resilient farming systems. This video explores how practical soil health solutions can go beyond restoring the land — strengthening women’s knowledge, participation and opportunities within their farming communities.

A Practical Training Manual for Extension Officers in Kakamega County.

This document contains three sets of toolboxes for the training and follow-up of groups and community resource persons under the ProSoil III project in 2021. The tools are designed to accompany the “Introductory Training for ProSoil community groups” and the “Training of CRPs 2021 Manual”.

What is Mucuna Pruriens

• Issues and opportunities in Mucuna farming

• Issues and opportunities in Mucuna processing

• Conclusions and recommendations

This model compares zero tillage and conventional tillage farming.

The main purpose of this manual is to serve as a comprehensive training and reference tool for facilitators, CRPs, and CBO technical officers supporting farmer groups under the ProSoil Project.

Under the ProSoil Project, Community Resource Persons (CRPs) were trained to enhance their technical and business capacities in agripreneurship, group management, VSLA operations, record keeping, and governance. Each group nominated two CRP representatives who participated in the intensive training with the expectation that they would cascade knowledge to their peers and strengthen the performance of their groups.

Soil protection and rehabilitation project (prosoil) is a project under WHH in collaboration with GIZ which aims at managing soils for sustainable production and hence increased food productivity.

Welthungerhilfe organized and successfully implemented a capacity strengthening initiative targeting thirty (30) Community Resource Persons (CRPs) between 25th July to 1st July 2025.

The activity combined a one-day refresher training on digital data collection with a five-day on-the-job field engagement exercise, designed to reinforce the CRPs’ technical competencies, practical field skills, and their ability to deliver consistent extension services within their communities.

This guide helps Community Resource Persons establish and manage Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices demonstration farms for learning purposes that considers farmers local conditions and needs for ease of understanding, joint learning and adoption.

Training for Community Resource Persons (CRPs) on Sustainable Agriculture and Land Management Practices at Kenya School of Agriculture (KSA), Ugenya, 16–20 December 2024

In partnership with the ProSoil project team, Kenya School of Agriculture's Ugenya campus developed and delivered a five-day training program using a Competence learning approach. The training was attended by 33 participants from Siaya, Kakamega, and Bungoma counties. The selection of Community Resource Persons (CRPs) was based on the following specific criteria to ensure their effectiveness in supporting the ProSoil initiative.
