Resilient and inclusive markets that ensure food security, environmental sustainability and community empowerment.
To catalyze sustainable development by promoting inclusive markets through sustainable and innovative practices and impactful policies.
Our thematic approach strengthens Kenya’s food safety, agricultural policy, and value chain development. Through targeted projects and partnerships, we tackle challenges across four key areas: sustainable food systems, monitoring, evaluation, and research, policy development and influencing, and market systems and enterprise development. Here’s an overview of our achievements within each theme.
The focus is on fostering agricultural practices that are both environmentally sustainable and resilient to the impacts of climate change. Our efforts aim to tackle food security and food safety challenges by promoting climate-smart agriculture, enhancing food safety standards, and minimizing food waste. By encouraging sustainable farming techniques, we aim to contribute to long-term productivity and ecological balance, empowering communities to adapt to climate variability.
Effective policies are fundamental to driving sustainable transformation. Under this theme, we collaborate with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders to create and influence policies that promote food safety, climate resilience, and inclusivity. This includes addressing legislative gaps, advocating for supportive regulations, and building frameworks that empower smallholder farmers, women, and youth to thrive.
Emphasizing the value of data-driven decision-making and accountability, this focus area prioritizes the establishment of robust systems for monitoring and evaluation to ensure programs deliver measurable results. Research serves as a cornerstone, identifying emerging challenges, crafting innovative solutions, and guiding policy and practice. These efforts enhance the impact and efficiency of interventions.
The emphasis is on cultivating inclusive and efficient market systems that link smallholder farmers and other stakeholders to economic opportunities. Through enhanced enterprise development, PMO empowers smallholder farmers—particularly women and youth—to commercialize their enterprises and farming activities. This approach involves strengthening value chains, improving market access, and offering business development support to promote profitability and competitiveness in both local and global markets.
