Co-financing Support to FAO Agricultural Value Chains Project in Kenya

About this project

The project aims to contribute to a transformative change towards climate-resilient, low-carbon, environmentally sustainable, and financially viable agriculture value chains in the Lake Region of Western Kenya. Through a holistic approach, the project intends to reduce economic losses due to climate change, enhance smallholder resilience, and contribute to global and national climate adaptation and mitigation goals. This will be done by accelerating the transfer of technology, knowledge, assets, and services with a focus on agri-food cooperatives as key agents to leverage rural change. The project focuses on six priority agricultural value chains: dairy, poultry, coffee, tea, fruit trees, and African leafy vegetables. The Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB) is one of Kenya’s primary agricultural zones, accounting for a significant share of smallholder farming activities. 72% of the population relies on agricultural output for food security and livelihoods. This region faces high population density, multidimensional poverty, and limited adaptive capacity, increasing the vulnerability of farmers to climate-related risks.
