Our three strategic goals

Everything PHI does maps back to one of three long-term investments.

01

Invest in Knowledge Systems

Build and connect knowledge networks that enable communities, researchers, and practitioners to learn from each other. The Chakula Bora digital network aggregates field research, farmer data, and best practices — making knowledge a shared resource, not a proprietary one.

  • Chakula Bora digital knowledge network
  • Field research documentation and sharing
  • Academic and civil-society partnerships
  • Community-led data collection
02

Invest in People in Rural Communities

Human capacity is the most durable asset a community can build. PHI's training programmes, leadership development, and enterprise support equip individuals to become drivers of change in their own households, villages, and regions.

  • Farmer field schools (agro-ecology)
  • Women's entrepreneurship and leadership
  • Youth skills and vocational training
  • Community governance and advocacy
03

Invest in Appropriate Technologies & Infrastructure

Technology that fits the context — affordable, maintainable, and ecologically sound. From drip irrigation to solar energy, from mobile health kits to community grain stores, PHI backs practical innovation that communities can adopt, adapt, and own.

  • Low-cost drip irrigation systems
  • Off-grid and solar energy solutions
  • Post-harvest storage infrastructure
  • Renewable water infrastructure
