International Fund for Agricultural Development (Kenya)

The Strategy

Kenya’s long-term development blueprint, Vision 2030, was launched in 2008. It was designed to guide the nation’s transformation into an industrialized, middle-income country.

The country’s agricultural development strategy for 2010-2020 aims to achieve agricultural growth of 7 per cent annually and reduce food insecurity by 30 per cent. The Government and IFAD believe that improving people’s access to key staple cereals can help to reduce poverty and food insecurity. 

In Kenya, IFAD loans provide support to smallholders and value chain actors (agro-dealers, private extension services, small traders, processors, etc.) in the dairy sector and cereal value chains. They also improve access to rural financial services.
