Policy prioritizattion through value chain analysis workshop
Tegemeo Institute, in collaboration with BFAP,IFPRI,AGRA and the Ministry of Livestock,Fisheries and Cooperatives held a stakeholder feedback workshop under the policy prioritization for value chain analysis studies. Three value chains, Coffee, beef and Aqua were identified for deep dive analysis after a value chain ranking exercise.
The project team  undertook deep dive analysis for these value chains and generated recommendations for transforming these value chains. The workshops provided stakeholders an opportunity to intercat with the study findings and recommendations and validate the proposals for transforming these value chains.

  • TREE PLANTING SESSION

Tegemeo Institute, under the Division of Research & Extension today, 11 May 2021,participated in the planting of 1,000 tree seedlings at Njoro Campus. Today’s session is part of the University’s continuous effort of environmental conservation as reflected in one of its core values, “Passion for environmental conservation.”

Njoro River is one of the main rivers that contribute water to Lake Nakuru National Park which is a home for thousands of birds (Flamingoes), wild animals and diverse tree species. Close to 600,000 people depend on this river for drinking water as a source of livelihood. We call upon other stakeholders, notably the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) and the Nakuru County to plant more trees on the lower sections of this river to prevent loss of soils through erosion and maintain the water quality for the wildlife within the Nakuru National Park.
