sustainable livelihoods. These programmes are currently implemented in Kenya.
Traidcraft fights poverty through trade. A Christian response to poverty, it is best known as the UK’s
leading fair trade organization and is engaged in a wide range of trade and development activities. In East
Africa, Traidcraft works to enable poor producers to grow their businesses, find markets and engage
effectively in trade.
This includes working in the tea, honey and renewable energy sectors and in semi arid areas; and working
to promote the availability of appropriate business services to enterprises.
CPDA and Traidcraft are jointly implementing a joint project aimed at increasing incomes for 30,000

farmers in Kenya.
