Country Projects;Transformation Segment;Food System

The CPP in Kenya seeks to strengthen the capacity of smallholder farmers and county government officials, addressing the challenges in the transformation of the food systems in Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands; the in-country pilot project in Kenya also aims to strengthen the FSC in Isiolo and Busia. WFP China COE has delivered to Kenya CO video courses made by NAFRA experts on China's Experience in Fortified Flour, China's Food Security: Standard and Supervision and China's Experience in PHLM. These videos are expected to be broadcast by WFP Kenya CO early in 2022 to promote local skills on cost-effective fresh food (vegetables and fruits) and grains (sorghum, maize, pulses) storage and processing technologies. 

As for FSC development, an online technical workshop was held on 7 October to illuminate grass-root government officials with knowledge and experiences FSCs, for which WFP China COE looped in Dr. Liang Qiao, an SSTC nominated Chinese expert from Zhejiang University, to present her comments and shared the China's models of farmer cooperatives.
