About Self Help Africa<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Self Help Africa works with smallholder farmers and their families to make sustainable improvements in their livelihoods from both a sustainable landscapes and sustainable food systems approach in agriculture combined with integration into enterprises. Our core values underpin our approaches: working in partnership, community-led development and integrated solutions. Self Help Africa believes that this is key to building local capacity to sustain change and scale up good practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Document 1: Terms of Reference<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2026 is the penultimate year of Self Help Africa\u2019s 5-year programme, funded by Irish Aid under \u201cIreland\u2019s Civil Society Partnership (ICSP) for A Better World\u201d.
