Today, we joined stakeholders at the Kilifi County GEAP Close-Out Forum to reflect on the achievements realized through the Green Employment in Agriculture Programme (GEAP) between 2021 and 2026. The programme was implemented by the Micro Enterprises Support Programme Trust and funded by the Danish International Development Agency.
Through strong collaboration between the County Government of Kilifi, MESPT, farmer organizations, private sector actors, and development partners, the programme reached 6,734 farmers, facilitated the trade of over 34,779 metric tonnes of produce valued at KES 1.36 billion, and supported the creation of 319 jobs across the coconut and pineapple value chains.
The programme also strengthened farmers' capacity, promoted climate-smart agricultural practices, supported food safety initiatives, and enhanced market access through strategic investments in aggregation, value addition, and farmer certification.
As we mark the close of the programme, we celebrate the partnerships, innovations, and achievements that continue to strengthen agricultural productivity, resilience, and sustainable livelihoods across Kilifi County.
