Officials presented the findings during a national workshop on strengthening the coordination of food systems actors in Kenya. At the event, the report was formally handed over to Leonard Bor, the County Executive Committee Member for Agriculture.
The workshop convened key food systems stakeholders from across the country. Participants reviewed existing national-level coordination platforms, structures, and mechanisms, while identifying gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for improved collaboration.
They developed actionable recommendations aimed at institutional strengthening, policy alignment, and resource mobilization.
Stakeholders also reached consensus on the next steps toward institutionalising a coherent national food systems coordination framework in Kenya.
“The County Agricultural Sector Steering Committee (CASSCOM) plays a key role in Nakuru by improving efficiency, effectiveness and accountability in service delivery through harmonised coordination between the agricultural sector and county stakeholders, a factor that significantly contributed to the county’s top ranking,” says the County Government.
