An Introduction to USTADI 
17th September, 2014 
George Mazuri 
Chief Executive Officer
Presentation Outline
USTADI – Who are We? 
• The Kenya Local Capacity Development Facility- Now Known Locally 
(branded) as USTADI - www.ustadi.org . USTADI is a Kiswahili 
word for being ‘Skilful’, 
• Part of a Global Network of initiatives initially started by SNV – the 
LCDFs 
• A response to systemic bottlenecks in the CDS environment in Kenya. 
(access, quality; standards) of CDS 
FOCUS: Mainly sub-national/Rural level.
Some CD Bottlenecks in Kenya 
 Most funds for CD spent at national level 
 Most services designed between funder and 
service provider 
 Providers are concentrated in 1-2 major towns . 
Overall conclusion: 
For local actors, the CD ‘market’ is erratic, difficult to access, not transparent 
and quality of services unpredictable and too costly.

Why USTADI? - Strategic Drivers/Considerations 
1. Inadequate Demand in the market for CDS 
o Information on opportunities, actors and intelligence 
o Market barriers such as: not affordable, inappropriate, unavailable or out of 
reach. 
2. Inadequate Supply of quality CDS in the market 
o Information, Availability, Pricing, Attitude, Quacks vs Standards 
2. Distorted CD market 
o due to development partners / funders demanding capacity development
What do we do? 
• Promotes CD as the “CORE” and not as an “ADD-ON” 
• Empower Rural entrepreneurs to use professional CDS to 
support their enterprises for increased incomes & profits.

o Climate change mitigation 
o Climate change adaptation 
•USTADI and climate change
Definition 
•United Nations Forum Convention on Climate Change 
(UNFCCC) defines Climate Change as ‘a change of climate which is 
attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the 
composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural 
climate variability observed over comparable time periods. 
Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external 
forcings, or due to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of 
the atmosphere or in land use
Effects of Climate Change 
Severe droughts 
and heat waves 
Heavy rains 
Extreme Weather Events 
Stronger storms
Decreasing snow cover and melting glaciers

• Sea levels are rising due 
to thermal expansion 
and melting glaciers 
and ice caps 
• Average global sea 
levels have risen 17 cm 
during 20th century and 
may rise 28-58 cm by 
Global mean sea level rise from 1870 - 2006 2100

Tackling Climate change 
Climate Change Mitigation: 
actions taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long-term 
risk and hazards of climate change to human life, 
property. 
Climate Change adaptation: 
refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change 
(including climate variability and extremes) to moderate 
potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to 
cope with the consequences.
Kenya is highly vulnerable to CC impacts 
Vulnerability 
Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, and unable to cope 
with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. 
Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate change 
and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive 
capacity 
Resilience 
The ability of a social or ecological system to absorb disturbances while retaining the 
same basic structure and ways of functioning, the capacity for self organization, and 
the capacity to adapt to stress and change.
Project: 
Kilifi Integrated Climate Change Adaptation Project (ACT-DFID) 
Mainly Adaptation: 
Aim: Increasing Resilience and Reducing Vulnerability 
Location: 
4 Sub counties in Kilifi County (ASAL Areas) 
Goal: 
Improved livelihoods through climate smart agriculture (CSA)

An Introduction to Ustadi

  • 1. “Empower – Connect – Prosper” An Introduction to USTADI 17th September, 2014 George Mazuri Chief Executive Officer
  • 3. USTADI – Who are We? • The Kenya Local Capacity Development Facility- Now Known Locally (branded) as USTADI - www.ustadi.org . USTADI is a Kiswahili word for being ‘Skilful’, • Part of a Global Network of initiatives initially started by SNV – the LCDFs • A response to systemic bottlenecks in the CDS environment in Kenya. (access, quality; standards) of CDS FOCUS: Mainly sub-national/Rural level.
  • 4. Some CD Bottlenecks in Kenya  Most funds for CD spent at national level  Most services designed between funder and service provider  Providers are concentrated in 1-2 major towns . Overall conclusion: For local actors, the CD ‘market’ is erratic, difficult to access, not transparent and quality of services unpredictable and too costly. Overall conclusion: For local actors, the CD ‘market’ is erratic, difficult to access, not transparent and quality of services unpredictable and too costly.
  • 5. Aga Khan Foundation WATER SERVICES TRUST FUND (WSTF) ICEBERG Consultants COBTRAD Enterprise Fund Consortium Members
  • 6. Why USTADI? - Strategic Drivers/Considerations 1. Inadequate Demand in the market for CDS o Information on opportunities, actors and intelligence o Market barriers such as: not affordable, inappropriate, unavailable or out of reach. 2. Inadequate Supply of quality CDS in the market o Information, Availability, Pricing, Attitude, Quacks vs Standards 2. Distorted CD market o due to development partners / funders demanding capacity development
  • 7. What do we do? • Promotes CD as the “CORE” and not as an “ADD-ON” • Empower Rural entrepreneurs to use professional CDS to support their enterprises for increased incomes & profits. Products and Services Market Facilitation Services Enhancing the local service environment to create better linkages between supply and demand of services Capacity Development Markets Online tender portal and Online tender portal and expert directory (PREXKenya.com) expert directory (PREXKenya.com) TA Support & Investment Management Services Facilitating Capacity Development: Cost sharing matching fund for smallholders Rural Organizations acquiring Business & Professional Services

  • 12. Definition •United Nations Forum Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) defines Climate Change as ‘a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods. Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or due to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use
  • 13. Effects of Climate Change Severe droughts and heat waves Heavy rains Extreme Weather Events Stronger storms

  • 17. Tackling Climate change Climate Change Mitigation: actions taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long-term risk and hazards of climate change to human life, property. Climate Change adaptation: refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
  • 18. Kenya is highly vulnerable to CC impacts Vulnerability Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, and unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate change and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity Resilience The ability of a social or ecological system to absorb disturbances while retaining the same basic structure and ways of functioning, the capacity for self organization, and the capacity to adapt to stress and change.
  • 19. Project: Kilifi Integrated Climate Change Adaptation Project (ACT-DFID) Mainly Adaptation: Aim: Increasing Resilience and Reducing Vulnerability Location: 4 Sub counties in Kilifi County (ASAL Areas) Goal: Improved livelihoods through climate smart agriculture (CSA) agriculture and marketing in Kilifi County 19 USTADI and Climate Change

  10. 82% of Mt. Kilimanjaro’s glacier has disappeared since first surveyed in 1912 Another sign of climate change is that worldwide, snow cover is melting and glaciers are retreating. The graph on the left shows the change in area of land (in millions of km) globally that is under snow cover- and it is clear that this area has declined significantly in recent years. In addition to losses in snow cover, glaciers are melting in almost all regions of the world- often at a very alarming rate. For example, Moutn Kilimanjaro in Kenya has lost almost 82% of its glacier, and much of this melting has occurred in the last decade (as seen in the photo above). left graphic (Image by NASA of Kilimanjaro's rapidly melting glacier. 82% of it has disappeared since it was first surveyed back in 1912. The image shows the difference in only seven years. ) (http://www.mounteverest.net/news.php?id=1361) right graphic (http://www.ipcc.ch/graphics/gr-ar4-syr.htm) Mountain glaciers and snow cover have declined The Arctic provides a striking illustration of the impacts of climate change on people and places. Sea ice has shrunk substantially, and coastal ice melts three weeks earlier than it did just 30 years ago. The area of sea lost since 1979 is greater than California, Texas and Maryland combined. The bald truth is that Earth’s polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. The cause? Global climate change.
  11. Across the world, the warming tempratures are melting glaciers and causing sea water to expand, resulting in increases in the overall sea level. IN the last 100 years, global sea levels have risn an average of 17 cm, and are projected to rise 28-58 by 2100. From 1961 to 1993, sea levels rose at a rate of 1.8 mm/yr; and since 1993 at a rate of 3.1 mm/ya Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion and melting glaciers and icecaps These rising seas level pose risk to people and ecosystems living in coastal areas and low-lying islands Another sign of climate change are the rising sea levels. (island info – UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, 2007, UN NY) (graph and text to right) put in “Trends in sea level, 1870 – 2006 sea levels have risen 17 cm during 20th century projected to rise 28-58 cm by end of 21st century http://www.ipcc.ch/graphics/gr-ar4-syr.htm graph of sea level in se usa (http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/climate_dynamics/climate_impact_webpage.html) Sea levels are rising due to a combination of : thermal expansion (water expands as it gets hotter) Glaciers melting Greenland ice sheet melting Antartic ice sheet melting Rate of sea level rise is increasing: from 1961-1993, sea levels rose an average of 0.4 mm/yr’ from 1993 to 2003, sea levels have risen 1.6 mm/yr (
