Earlier today, the sensitization of Chief Executive Committee Members (CECMs) from 13 ASALs counties marked the start of a 7-month sensitization of KIAMIS program . This program is set to run across 45 counties with the aim of creating a reliable digitalized central database. This will be a significant achievement, making Kenya the second country in Africa to digitize farmers' data.
Supported by @FAOKenya, the Kenyan government implements the Kenya Integrated Agriculture Management Information System (KIAMIS), using census-style data collection. Collaborating with county governments, this initiative aims to enhance food security, farmer incomes, and export revenues in alignment with the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
County governments are thus mandated to hire Agripreneurs responsible for data collection.They are expected to ensure accountability and select suitable Enumerators for the task.
