Narrative Description of project:
Kenya Agricultural Productivity and Agribusiness Project (KAPAP) was a government of Kenya initiative supported by the World Bank whose objective was to increase agricultural productivity and incomes of smallholder farmers from agricultural and agribusiness activities in the project area. The model was designed to promote Agribusiness, Private Public Partnerships, the agricultural Product Value Chain Continuum and Accountability among other virtues in the context of community driven development and the need to fulfill the world bank/GoK funding commitments.
The focus of the model was commercialization of farming and promotion of agribusiness. Viewed from a business perspective, the yardstick for measuring the performance of any business was the level of returns or incomes accrued.
