FROM SEED TO FOOD
WITH THE DINKA PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN SUDAN by Maurizia Sandrini and Bledar Zajmi, CEFA volunteers in Southern Sudan
It is never easy to arrive in a country, mainly if this country has a practically non-existent economy and is upset by decades of struggles, and try to pass on to the local population that is strictly based on a practical sense, some at first sight abstract notions such as food security, agricultural mechanization, irrigation non-dependent by weather factors and food hygiene. Even less in Southern Sudan. But there is no battle worthy to be fought, especially if you know it seems a losing battle. I don’t remember exactly where I read this sentence, but it expresses an underlying truth that I rediscovered more than ever in Africa and above all in the Sudanese adventure. A particularly hard adventure, made of last ditch battles, against everybody and everything: a persistent emergency cooperation, when the country should look at the next phases of development; obtuse local institutions in search more of a major personal gain than of their own country welfare; terrible deluges almost all the year long; an infernal heat for the rest of the time; being so thirsty that only numerous litres of water can quench your thirst; being so hungry (everybody, included us, the white people, the “Kawaja”) and have no possibility to go to the nearest shop to buy something, because there is no shop. The majority of the people lives in the most absolute misery in the middle of the bush, the forest where everything disappears: first of all the right to food, health and instruction. This battle, even impossible to plan, has notwithstanding a noble purpose: to bring development and selfsufficiency, health and hope, democracy and sustainability. All these are the values for which CEFA is fighting, through and with us, every day, in every corner of the world. And because of this, it is worthwhile fighting this battle. The first African experience is never easy. The Dinka people appeared to be unfriendly, sad and so backward that any ideas seemed not only impossible to be fulfilled, but also to think of. Rumbek, the capital of the State of the Lakes, was not to be defined as a city, but rather an enormous area of huts, lived by people of any
ages, in terrible health and sanitary conditions and without any immediate development possibility. The lack of electricity, except the one produced artificially by the generators or naturally by the sun and the lack of running water, that you can only find if you go and look for it at some far way pumps where you have to wait and queue patiently for your turn, seemed to be insuperable obstacles. But day after day, difficulty after difficulty, inventing a new way to live and work, we started knowing the local communities, by sitting under the tree and looking for a dialogue, creating the conditions to develop a confident relationship and a reason to try the way to agricultural development. By shaking hands with sultans and healers, we started to involve and convince women, the real driving force behind the African development, that it is possible to find a way out from poverty right through agriculture. To pass from here to schools the step was short and quick and all the rest arrived by itself: school and community vegetable gardens have flourished, an even if simple trade has started, the possibility to educate girls has been developed, a major knowledge of the basic hygienic rules has expanded, life expectancy at the birth and after the delivery has increased. Little by little Rumbek has changed into a smiling and quiet little town, open to various possibilities of agricultural, educational and community development. And it is in such a way, starting from the lower layers, from the answer to the need, from listening to the problems and the proposals that that tortuous way that changes seed into food has started. And exactly from an agreement between an NGO that does its best to bring development and the local population that welcomes and accepts it, embraces its principles and ideas and, trusting itself, becomes active to improve and develop itself. Hence, from seed to food. To seed in order to harvest. And we are proud to be two “gears” of this marvellous mechanism that daily gets development off the ground.

ACTING WITH EFFECTIVENESS AND IN A SOCIALLY PROFITABLE WAY by Davide Conte Connecting with and listening to our stakeholders has enabled us to add value to our common reflection on CEFA’s mission. In the past years, we have focused our social balances on the elements that define us and the way we work. In 2006 we stressed the importance of sustainability; in 2007 the role of social capital; in 2008 the importance of solidarity and in 2009 the efficient use of the funds donors and communities place in our care. The feature we wish to bring forward this year is pragmatism, the fusion of knowledge and action, which is exemplified by the expatriate staff that works on the group along those people who experience daily the fight against hunger and poverty. “The only way to effectively tackle the issue of global poverty is to target, directly and on the ground, the issues of rural areas” (Julius Nyere, July 1979) Our main points of strength: first-hand knowledge, the sharing of problems that arise, acting with effectiveness and in a socially profitable way; by interacting continuously
with our local partners and the beneficiaries of every project. Our pragmatism is based on detailed knowledge of problems that arise in every single project and is focused on obtaining effective, long-term results. Objectives are shared and results are monitored throughout the time span of the project to eventually hand control over to local partners. Our concreteness, by rejecting fake promises and concentrating on facts, has create a sense of trust towards CEFA’s projects on the part of both public and private sector donors, local communities and partners. Our pragmatism is infused in our volunteers, who, with their professionalism, effectiveness and enthusiasm, have taken active part in the projects and have carried our philosophy of solidarity all over the world. Thanks to this pragmatism, in 2010 like in all preceding years, we have ensured that admin costs make up less than 10% of total costs. A result we take pride in due to its difficulty, and that enabled us to focus the majority of our resources on our projects.

The milk processed in the milk factory went from 39,000 litres a month in 2009 to 60,000 litres in 2010; the turnover reached 65 million shelling. The increase in production activities required the creation of an IT network. The social sector was consolidated, in order to identify the local people who had enough professionalism to manage the milk factory in the future. The milk factory is definitely becoming the development driver in the District of Njombe.

STAKEHOLDERS’ MAP

The Stakeholders’ map is the graphical representation of the relationships that underwrite CEFA’s activities. This year, the map will be presented in 3D, to convey the contagious and virtuous force that is solidarity. A solidarity that impacts on every single one of CEFA’s stakeholders and goes straight to the heart, becoming a central part of the lifestyle of those who work with and sustain CEFA and share its mission. Identifying CEFA’s key partners is important with regards to transparency - “to carry out
our work we rely on these people/institutions/businesses/organizations” - and also with regards to the social report “Since you know me best, how can I improve?” - by directly involving them in the drawing up process. To further involve them in CEFA’s activities, stakeholders receive a monthly newspaper and can join two fan pages on Facebook, one dedicated to the AfricaMilkProject, and the other dedicated to CEFA’s other activities in Italy and abroad.

FOR A NEW SEASON OF COOPERATION by Vera Negri Zamagni In October 2010 the conference For a New Season Of Euro-African Cooperation was held. It resumed the several years’ tradition of CEFA conferences. Our presence in Africa needed a profound reflection on the changing scenario where we have worked for years with continuity to understand whether the so-called lost continent, incapable of seizing any development opportunity, has taken a more dynamic route or is still relying passively on a new conqueror. The special guest was the new president of the Pontifical Council of Justice and Peace, Card. Appiah Turkson from Ghana, who, beyond advocating the principles of the Church’s Social Doctrine, talked about the evolution of the relationships between Europe and Africa with great enthusiasm and stated the true novelty today is the possibility of rethinking them in terms of reciprocity and gift exchange. Then the cardinal addressed the issue of the new conquerors of Africa (Chinese, South-Coreans, and other Asians), by saying that the threat is real even though the real problem of Africa is represented by the Africans: their destiny depends on themselves and can be changed by overcoming endemic conflicts and corruption as well as opposing élites’ profiteering. Among the other means to achieve the aim, the cardinal mentioned the reinforcement of the Christian Message through African synods and the work of the NGOs not indulging in the excess of welfarism but contributing to a real improvement of skills and local talents. One more important talk was given by Prof. Pasquale De Muro, from Roma Tre University (Italy), who dealt in detail with the curse on resources, the perverted link, often created, between wealth of resources and underdevelopment. According to the professor it is not an inevitable relation. Therefore it is possible to avoid it as long as it is commonly accepted it is necessary to start selfdevelopment projects aimed at the improvement of the local economy and that the profit deriving from the resources must be
reinvested instead of merely making ruling élites richer. As far as NGOs are concerned, Prof. De Muro absolutely backed the approach CEFA has always chosen fostering production strategies and enabling the local population’s participation in the projects. In the second part of the conference our African partners took the floor. The contribution by Charles Nyakora Onyango, from the Kenyan NGO C-MAD, which CEFA has cooperated for a long time with, started a very interesting debate among the Italian entrepreneurs who chose or might choose to join sustainable development projects in Africa. They clearly identified the conditions needed to create successful partnerships. The memorable conference envisaging several noteworthy speeches was concluded consistently by Giovanni Bersani’s far-sighted talk. All, including the African themselves, are aware that time for welfarism in Africa is over. However, welfarism ought to be replaced by business projects involving the local population that must manage the same projects completely without forgetting to give an adequate diffusion of the management culture that is the key to their sustainability. CEFA has always adopted this approach and now is ready for a significant improvement made possible by the support from entrepreneurial partners not only in terms of economic resources but also through know-how and participation. As Benedict XVI wrote in Caritas in Veritate “the international cooperation needs people who share the process of economic and human development thanks to the solidarity of presence, guidance, education, and respect” (47).

FOOD SAFETY AND SOVEREIGNTY by prof. Pasquale De Muro, Roma Tre University Until the 1970s the main idea in the debate about world starvation was the scarcity of food: people thought that food, above all in the South, was not sufficient. Based on this assumption, actions and policies were geared to increase the farming production in those countries by mainly improving productivity. This approach was then criticized by Amartya Sen, who thanks to its innovative studies on famines, showed the main problem in such situations is not food shortage – as it was generally accepted. The real hurdle is, in fact, the difficult access to food that, on the contrary, is generally available and sufficient. In this way Sen contributed to the change of approach to world starvation. The change was evident in the final documents of the World Forum on Food, held in Rome in 1996, when a new and wider definition of food safety was given: ‘Food safety exists when everyone, at any time, has access, in economic and physical sense, to a sufficient quantity of healthy and nourishing food satisfying their energy and taste needs so that they can have an active and healthy life. In this definition food safety becomes a multidimensional concept. In fact, besides the aspect of the availability of food, two more aspects are taken into account: access to food and its use; finally stability is now associated not only with availability but also with the other two aspects. One more novelty in these documents of the Forum is the clear reference to the right to food (already mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948) and its close relation with food safety. Seen the success of this new consensus, both at political and scientific level, we can consider it as a real turning point in the debate on food. However, it is important to underline that due to several reasons relating to farming business interests and institutional indifference, the main hunger policies have remained unchanged. They are still underlain by a productivist and sectorial logic linked to collateral welfarist actions.
20
In the same period, above all in Latin America, the revival of a strong farmers’ movement took place on an international scale as the anwer to the growing effects of the economic globalization especially in the South. This movement, bringing together farming entities in the South and North, criticized the concept of food safety and underlines that the approach, in the name of efficiency and productivity, is actually at the mercy of a global food regime guided by the big transnational corporations, based on large-scale production, on industrialized farming drawing on production specialization, land concentration, and commercial liberalization. These elements are in contrast with a vision grounded on the (small) family-run farming business that produces above all for the local market according to a diversified and sustainable farming model that safeguards biological and cultural diversities and respects the environment. For this reason the global farmers’ movement countered the concept of food safety with food sovereignty, initially defined as the right of every person to identify his/her own agricultural and food policy, to protect his/her own agricultural production and national market to achieve sustainable development aims; to decide how the movement wants to be self-sufficient, to prevent its market from being invaded by the excess of other countries’ food production conveyed on the international market through dumping (La Via Campesina, 1996). In spite of the strong political conflict the two concepts – food safety and sovereignty - are not conflicting at all as they definitely complement each other. If, in fact, we interpret food safety in a correct way, not as productivism but as access to healthy food for everybody, and if we consider food sovereignty not as protectionism but rather as sustainability awareness – environmental, social and cultural - than it will be possible to harmonize the two approaches and identify the right actions to solve the problem of world starvation.

CEFA AT SHANGHAI EXPO by Luciano Sita Why on earth did a CEFA Councillor attend 2010 Expo in Shanghai at the end of September? Actually he was not there to start up a project in China. In fact he intended to present a singular farming project with a great social and solidarity significance sustained by CEFA. Its aim is to give 50,000 inhabitants of Rumbek district, a very poor area in southern Sudan, the opportunity to decide their own fate and avert the risk of starving, by teaching them to cultivate their land. CEFA is committed to train fifty groups of farmers and start up five training schools over five years to develop a system capable of producing food for the whole population. The goal, starting from training, is to pave the way for a positive integrated circuit of sustainable farming economy in a country which was torn by one of the most violent and devastating civil wars for over twenty years. CEFA has made successful investments in education for many years by supplying local populations with the initial resources to autonomously overcome hunger and poverty and carries out such activities all over the world. Besides it intends to let the populations take steps along the pathway of their own social and civil growth and entrust them with the management of the ongoing projects. Therefore the project entitled Solidarity 2015: From Seed to Food is ambitious and demanding. It has called for a total investment of 1.5 million euros. Why was it launched in Shanghai? The Expo was undoubtedly a prestigious shopwindow: it presented and hosted a choice of best examples all over the world. Therefore it was an excellent occasion to remember while there is a world making progress thanks to technology, scientific innovation, research, and creativity, and running toward development and future, there is another neglected and sometimes shown in an unpleasant way, where people still starve, children have no future and desperation and death are rampant. At the Expo CEFA wanted to announce in advance a possible link to 2015 Expo in Milan entitled Feeding the Plane which will focus on food problems around the world.
22
From our standpoint, the link connecting the two world exhibitions simultaneously to a solidarity project was strongly impressive and very significant on a universal scale. In Shanghai CEFA was hosted by a delegation of PASTATREND, the well-known exhibition of pasta that takes place in Bologna each year in April, that is the first private partner of the agricultural project for southern Sudan. This fruitful association, reliably representing Italian products, stemmed by the unity of aims related to the highlighting and diffusion of pasta as an example of food and farming sustainability. On the occasion of a PASTATREND lecture at Shanghai Tongji University, companies were invited to join the project. The enterprises, agreeing to the project, will be mentioned at 2015 Expo in Milan as parts actively involved in a humanitarian and social action of social responsibility which will enhance their image in order to improve the way they are perceived by the consumers while making their attendance of Expo 2015 distinctively significant. After Shanghai, the project was presented at a conference in Bologna attended by authoritative representatives of the world of cooperation, voluntary organizations and African authorities as well as Senator Bersani, Founder and honorary President of CEFA. Then agreements to the project from enterprises have been accepted. We all hope the project will be successful thanks to the investments envisaged and can reach the goals pursued by 2015, the year of the Expo. Its realization would be one more important step taken by CEFA in social, economic and political terms. Now Solidarity 2015: From Seed to Food s role as a resource for self-development is even more important as in the last few days the independence of Southern Sudan or New Sudan was legitimized almost unanimously by a referendum.

The added value, which is calculated by reclassifying data from the balance sheet, is used to further two aims: to calculate how much has been raised through public and private contributions and how these funds have been distributed to the various projects. The results show that 55.7% of the total contributions is directed to CEFA’s projects. 16.1% is used to pay and train local staff, which has an immediate
and positive influence on the local economy. 21% is used to pay expatriate staff’s salaries and only 6.9% is used to cover management costs. The social balance is strongly linked to the economic balance, but also includes quantitative and qualitative information about the projects’ progress and about the various activities realized during the year.

FROM SEED TO FOOD by Marco Benassi
34
This year the main theme of our social balance is From seed to food. This leitmotiv is the significant motto of our mission always pursued by CEFA’s founders, and confirmed by the results of CEFA programmes implemented in Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Southern Sudan, Morocco, BiH, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Argentina. I would like to underline some important aspects of CEFA’s interventions in 2010. • In some countries the natural conclusion of our active presence took place. The cycle, leading over years, from the seed to sustainable results and to the complete transfer of responsibility to the local populations ended. This was achieved through a consolidated strategy, a linking and networking methodology on the local scale tested within the projects: the local people are responsible for the activities and their sustainability always pursuing the original development aims. Important examples in this sense are Albania, Bosnia Erzegovina and Argentina. In Argentina our presence is ending by now: the conclusive activities envisaged by an intervention carried out with the local Diocese of Juyuy for the Indios Guaranì are taking place. Also in Bosnia-Erzegovina the local farming cooperatives, in particular the social Vino Daorson Winery, created over the years thanks to our help, have acquired a sound autonomy to enter both the domestic and foreign market by now. • The conclusion of an operational phase in a country , however, has always coincided with the beginning of new routes for CEFA’s engagement aimed at integrated development somewhere else. The ongoing events throughout the Mediterranean area and the big changes experienced by such an important area for Europe and our country, led us to take into account the possibility to carry out new projects there. Fifteen years ago we arrived in Morocco, the country from which the highest number of immigrants came to our Region, and more recently from Southern Sudan. Today our attention is drawn by other Maghrebi countries, such as Tunisia, from which many people, especially the youth, are coming to our country in search of better living conditions. Yes, all this affects us and urges us to make key choices to facilitate the improvement of living conditions in this area not far from our country. In such a context we consider giving sustain to those
who voluntarily decide to go back to their country. We will do it by giving them the opportunity of a respectable job. • In 2010 the issue of food safety was the focus of our projects, either in all the countries where we are operating (Tanzania, Morocco, Somalia and Ecuador) either in view of the EXPO which will be held in Milan in 2015. We will take part in it with the project from seed to food. It is an important occasion to spread this motto and build international cooperation awareness. We are linking this programme above all to our experience in Southern Sudan where our presence is getting well organized in different ways and thanks to different stakeholders (MCL and others). • Finally a remark on fund raising. We must make it more effective in order to go on with that development we have always advocated. In this way we and we are allawed to support personal growth to consolidate relations and to meet their timing. It is necessary just because we want to use resources that allow us to keep in close relationship with our benefactors. Therefore, promoting, highlighting and sustaining the groups involved are key to us and call for a big commitment. Therefore, also the 5 x mille initiative, that over the last few years has given better results thanks to the contribution of all CEFA’s friends and has provided 110,000 Euros, will be able to to achieve more ambitious aims for a more suitable fund raising. I would like to conclude my speech with a general remark and a special thank regarding 2010. It was a very busy year which saw reorganization activities, plenty of commitments, new challenges while we were facing with some more: the management of our complex programmes calling for the expatriated personnel’s high-level know-how and compliance with the complex laws. That is why I am thinking of the improvements our organization needs even if until today, thanks to the staff and to many volunteers we succeeded in carrying out our activities, first of all thanks to their personal responsibility. So, I would like to thank many cooperators, employees, and volunteers of CEFA who gave their important contribution so that also in 2010 we could do a good job through our projects.
