The Kenya Agricultural Productivity Project (KAPP)
is a Government of Kenya, World Bank supported multi-sectoral
and multi-institutional project, with the long-term
objective of increasing agricultural productivity. The
project contributes to the Government's Strategy of
Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) whose objective is "to
provide a policy and institutional environment that
is conducive to increasing agricultural productivity,
promoting investments, encouraging private sector involvement
in agricultural enterprises and agribusiness."
KAPP will contribute to the revitalization of agriculture
through four project components:
(i) policy and institutional reforms,
(ii) extension system reform,
(iii) research system reform, and
(iv) farmer/client empowerment.
The objective of the research system component is "to
reform the agricultural research sub-sector so that
it encompasses a plurality of actors to enhance efficiency
and accountability".
