With the promulgation of the constitution in 2010, devolution gave County Governments authority over important administrative duties. The goal of devolution was to put decision-making and services closer to the people, particularly historically marginalized groups. For fully devolved functions like the livestock sector, County governance is central to its development. The Livestock sector has great promise for Counties that specialize in its production if its potential is fully realized. However, the counties must devise and follow through on plans to boost the industry, assist in the growth of value chains, and eventually fully commercialize. Met today with Ms. Mary Mwiti, CEO of the Council of Governors to talk about various initiatives that could be considered for the livestock sector's development. These include livestock identification and traceability, breed improvement initiatives, animal health initiatives, Land and pasture management among others.

Finding sustainable solutions to the climate crisis is a pressing need. We have witnessed the devastating effects that drought and flooding can have on over 80% of Kenya's landmass, which is considered an ASAL (arid and semi-arid) area. Building a climate-smart livestock sector will reduce the sector's contribution to #GHG emissions, protecting the jobs and livelihoods of millions of producers while ensuring food and nutritional security for all. Thank you International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) for graciously hosting our team 👏🏼

#Soya bean, the world’s most important grain legume, shows great potential and presents a significant opportunity for East Africa. Rapid population growth and rising demand for soya-based food and animal feed are fuelling a sharp increase in demand for a range of soya-related products across the region. Strong natural growing conditions mean that East African farmers are well placed to capitalise on this, raising their incomes, creating jobs in processing, and enhancing food and nutritional security. Additionally, soya beans can enhance soil health through nitrogen fixation, thus contributing to broader agricultural resilience while simultaneously presenting a range of economic opportunities. However, regional production of soya beans remains low, and East Africa largely depends on imports to sustain its food and feed demand. Gatsby Africa recently carried out a study of the soya bean opportunity for East Africa to showcase the opportunity that exists for East African governments and farming communities operating in this subsector. The study highlights the barriers and gaps that limit the region’s soya bean productivity and profitability. It also attempts to recommend measures that the region could put in place to unlock this latent potential.
