1/2 Behind every UN programme in Kenya is a lot of work people rarely see: procurement, technology, finance, HR, logistics and administration.

The Kenya Common Back Office brings more of that work together, reducing duplication across 88 UN offices.

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@novonordisk @IFADEastAfrica @tarunga With NCDs increasingly linked to poor diets, the panel stressed investing in nutritious value chains & whole grains. Bottom line: sustainable financing isn't just more money, it's smarter systems, accountability & partnerships centring farmers & nutrition. #AFS2026

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@novonordisk @IFADEastAfrica @tarunga Key asks: move from reactive to proactive planning, strengthen audit & accountability systems for public resources, and improve farmers' access to affordable credit, with smallholders designed into government programmes from the start, not as an afterthought. #AFS2026

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@mbarak_husna The message: put farmers & communities at the centre of decision-making, and ensure investments translate into real household-level benefits. Farmers must have a meaningful voice in policy development. #AFS2026 #AgrifoodSystems

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@mbarak_husna From pastoralists managing 40M+ livestock to cooperatives boosting bargaining power & enterprises linking producers to markets; communities are already proving locally-driven solutions work. But challenges persist: price volatility, counterfeit inputs, weak market access #AFS2026

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

Pillar Four at #AFS2026 spotlighted farmers, pastoralists, cooperatives, SMEs, women & youth as key drivers of resilient livelihoods & healthier diets.

"Transforming agrifood systems must begin where food systems live, work & grow with communities," @mbarak_husna

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@KAM_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @GAINAlliance_KE @Blue_Economy_F Also key: stronger farmer-market linkages, markets for nutritious local foods, aquatic food systems, and de-risking services for farmers with women & youth empowered through business skills, financial literacy & investment. #AFS2026 #AgrifoodSystems

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

@KAM_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @GAINAlliance_KE @Blue_Economy_F The panel called for stronger cross-sector coordination, better policies & accountability, and a shift beyond maize to diversified food production. From seed to plate: invest in storage, processing & innovation while cutting food loss and shortening value chains. #AFS2026

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

How can Kenya make healthy diets nutritious, safe, affordable & accessible to all? That question anchored Pillar One at #AFS2026, where experts unpacked Kenya's triple burden of malnutrition and the high cost of healthy diets. 🧵

[FAO in Kenya @FAOKenya]

Can science, research & tech build more efficient, resilient agrifood systems for healthy diets? That drove Pillar Three at #AFS2026.

With ~40% of food lost before/after harvest, cutting food loss is a major opportunity; from soil mapping to improved crop varieties.
