Capacity strengthening strategy through capacity needs assessment for Country Level Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (SAKSS): Kenya

To assess these national capacity needs, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support Systems (ReSAKSS) initiated a study in Kenya and other African nations. Twenty-eight Kenyan organizations were determined to be key players in the agricultural policymaking process, but only 11 participated in the study. Overall, the study found that there is a need to build human, financial, and physical capacities for the major stakeholders involved in the Kenyan policymaking process.

Overall, the study found that there is a need to build human, financial, and physical capacities for the major stakeholders involved in the Kenyan policymaking process. It also found that a core challenge the agricultural sector faces is the lack of a common platform to share knowledge, tasks, and experiences. A potential solution would be to establish an autonomous body to synchronize communications between stakeholders and assign them definitive tasks that align with their organizational mandates.

Promoting Agricultural Trade to Enhance Resilience in Africa ReSAKSS Annual Trends and Outlook Report 2013

The 2013 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) contributes to the emerging debate by analyzing Africas recent trade performance and future outlook at the global and regional levels, including discussions of the mechanisms of dealing with food price volatility, the scope for increasing trans-border trade, and the potential impacts of weather-related shocks and biophysical factors on intra-regional exports. The ATOR finds that Africas share of world trade of goods and services, and specifically of agricultural goods, made a turnaround and started increasing in the 2000s.

The ATOR finds that Africas share of world trade of goods and services, and specifically of agricultural goods, made a turnaround and started increasing in the 2000s. Also, intra-Africa agricultural exports have grown rapidly in recent years, particularly in calorie terms, thus lessening the continents dependence on the West in terms of trade. The Report attributes the improved trade performance to recent improvements in economic growth and infrastructure on the continent, together with higher world prices for some key raw materials.
