Over a five-year period, PMO served as the Business Support Service Provider for the 2SCALE dairy partnership between KDPL and 2SCALE in Nyeri. The project aimed to build the capacity of smallholder dairy farmers to increase productivity, enhance milk quality, promote climate-smart practices, and establish sustainable agribusiness systems, with a strong focus on gender and youth inclusion.

To support smallholder farmers, PMO focused on enhancing production and integrating climate-smart practices. Through strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, including the county government, development partners, financial institutions, private sector service providers, and input suppliers, sustainable interventions were delivered using the Agri-Business Cluster (ABC) model. These efforts resulted in the establishment of over 100 lead and training farms to demonstrate and disseminate best practices to farmers.

A member-led feeds alliance was formed, comprising more than 1,000 fodder producers, to address perennial fodder shortages and ensure a stable feed supply for dairy farming. Additionally, sustainable and farmer-friendly financing models were developed through partnerships with financial institutions, improving access to credit and enabling smallholders to invest in their enterprises. The governance and financial management capacities of KDPL and its seven affiliate cooperatives were also enhanced through tailored training and coaching programs.
