ABSTRACT This paper uses panel data from 1,160 smallholder farmers, especially participants and non-participants in twenty-three regional projects from five countries in East Africa – Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. In this paper, regional projects mean projects implemented jointly in at least three countries, thereby providing sustainable regional public goods. Propensity score matching analysis is used to determine the difference in net benefits accrued to the on-farm participants compared to non-participants. The propensity scores show that participants have overall higher crop and livestock productivity, enhanced household income, increased soil and water management, and access to biofortified foods compared to non-participants. These findings indicate that regional projects can catalyse the achievement of smallholder farmers’ food and nutrition security, besides enhancing achievements of the African Union Commission's Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

通过参与东非农场区域项目对小农福利的影响

摘要 本文使用来自 1,160 名小农的面板数据,特别是来自东非五个国家(布隆迪、肯尼亚、卢旺达、坦桑尼亚和乌干达)的 23 个区域项目的参与者和非参与者。在本文中,区域项目是指在至少三个国家联合实施的项目,从而提供可持续的区域公共产品。倾向得分匹配分析用于确定农场参与者与非参与者相比产生的净收益的差异。倾向得分显示,与非参与者相比,参与者的作物和牲畜生产力总体上更高,家庭收入增加,土壤和水管理得到改善,并且可以获得生物强化食品。
