Institutional Growth

Internally, the Foundation finalised institutional policies, operationalised bank accounts, launched its official website, and strengthened data systems to support long-term, scalable impact. The MEL system produced first-generation data collection tools, farmer registration instruments, and a Theory of Change aligned with the five strategic goals.

Next Phase

Looking ahead, ENCOT Foundation is positioned to scale AVCAM, deepen partnerships, pilot SAAVE, strengthen WASH and climate work, and expand opportunities for farmers, cooperatives, women, and youth across the region.
