Jacinta Muok, an Agripreneur from Sidindi Ward, Ugunja Sub-County, has earned national recognition after emerging as Kenyaโ€™s second-best-performing Agripreneur at the Agriculture and Food Systems Transformation Summit 2026, held at ASK Jamhuri Showgrounds in Nairobi. Her achievement among more than 7,000 Agripreneurs across 33 counties is a proud moment for Siaya County and a testament to the growing potential of young people in agribusiness.

The Agripreneur Model leverages technology and youth-led extension services to strengthen agricultural knowledge transfer, promote agribusiness and empower farmers. Siaya County has approximately 150 Agripreneurs supporting agricultural extension and agribusiness development. Jacinta, a graduate in Animal Production and Health Management, also operates a poultry enterprise, stocking approximately 1,000 broilers per production cycle.

Also recognised were Kevin Onyango, an Animal Health Assistant from South East Alego, who ranked fifth nationally among Veterinary Paraprofessionals, and Beatrice Okoth, an Agripreneur from Usonga Ward, who ranked second nationally among Data Assistants. Both were recognised for their contributions to implementing the e-voucher cattle vaccination subsidy programme.

These achievements reflect Siaya Countyโ€™s growing agricultural innovation and the important role of young professionals in strengthening extension services, improving livestock production and transforming the agricultural sector towards a food-secure and commercially oriented future.

The Agriculture and Food Security Transformation Summit 2026 is underway at Jamhuri Park, ASK Showground - Nairobi County, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the future of Kenyaโ€™s agriculture and food systems. We are proudly representing Siaya County by a delegation comprising of Agripreneurs, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), SACCOs, farmer representatives and technical officers

The summit has brought together participants from national and county governments, the private sector, development partners and farmer organizations to share knowledge, showcase innovations and explore opportunities for agricultural transformation.

The forum provides a platform for deliberating on practical strategies to strengthen food security, enhance value addition, expand market access and create sustainable employment opportunities.

We have today disbursed Ksh 9.9 million in matching grants to eight SACCOs to strengthen their financial base and expand lending opportunities for Common Interest Groups (CIGs) and vulnerable and marginalised groups.

The initiative seeks to promote cooperative-based financial inclusion, strengthen agricultural value chains, and improve livelihoods across the county.

The disbursement adds to Ksh 5.2 million previously awarded to five SACCOs, with the County currently supporting Cohort 3, comprising 17 SACCOs undergoing institutional strengthening and compliance processes to meet the eligibility criteria for matching grants. This forms part of a broader initiative to strengthen 30 SACCOs (one in each ward),with Ksh 25.2 million in inclusion grants already distributed to enhance their operational capacity. The initiative aims to build public confidence in cooperative institutions, encourage savings and investment, and support the commercialisation of selected agricultural value chains.

The exercise was led by the CECM for Agriculture, Food Security, Livestock & Blue Economy, Hon. Willis Ochieng, in the company of Hon. Joseph Rading, CECM Governance & Administration; NAVCDP Project Coordinator Vincent Okoth; Director of Cooperatives Samuel Wambisa; representatives from financial institutions; and other sector stakeholders.

Strengthening Agripreneursโ€™ Capacity on Environmental and Social Safeguards

Trained our Agripreneurs on Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) to strengthen their capacity to identify, understand and effectively address environmental and social issues arising in the course of delivering last-mile extension services. The training seek to equip agripreneurs with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to promote responsible, inclusive and sustainable agricultural practices while supporting farmers across the County.

As key players in delivering extension services closer to farming communities, the trained agripreneurs are expected to apply the knowledge gained to enhance farmer engagement, strengthen market participation and promote value addition across targeted value chains. This intervention reinforces NAVCDPโ€™s commitment to empowering farmers through accessible technical support, sustainable agricultural enterprises and improved market linkages, contributing to increased productivity, resilience and better livelihoods.

The County Assembly of Siaya Agriculture Committee, led by Speaker Hon. George Okode, Committee Chairperson Hon. Fredrick Omoro and Clerk Erick Ogenga, held a consultative engagement with the County Department of Agriculture, Food Security, Livestock and Blue Economy technical team, led by CECM Hon. Willis Ochieng and Chief Officer Ms. Elizabeth Adongo, to review and strengthen the implementation of the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP) in Siaya County.

Discussions focused on accelerating the implementation of key NAVCDP interventions, including the Siriwo Rice Mill Project, matching grants to successful SACCOs, Enterprise Development Grants for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and other investments aimed at strengthening farmer-led enterprises. The engagement also reviewed mechanisms for improving access to financial and technical services, productivity, value addition and reliable markets.

The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment to ensuring NAVCDP investments deliver tangible benefits to farmers, strengthen value chains and enhance the resilience and profitability of farmer enterprises across the county.

Chaired by the CECM for Agriculture, Food Security, Livestock and Blue Economy, Hon. Willis Ochieng, we held a periodic County Project Steering Committee (CPSC) meeting.

The meeting focused on strengthening implementation of the project and advancing farmer-led enterprises across the county. Key agenda items included the second-tier approval of matching grant disbursements to successful Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs), review of the County investments implementation, consideration & approval of the project's work plan and budget, and approval of Enterprise Development Grant proposals submitted by Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).

Siaya Continues to reaffirm its commitment to ensuring timely implementation of project activities and expanding access to financial and technical support for farmers, cooperatives and producer organizations to enhance agricultural productivity, value addition and market access across the county.

The Ongoing Mindset Change Champions Exchange Tour in Machakos County is exposing farmers to practical approaches in Sustainable Land Management (SLM), high-value fruit tree farming, innovative agricultural technologies, and community-driven development initiatives.

The exchange provides an opportunity for farmers to learn from practical experiences, share knowledge, and explore sustainable agricultural practices that can improve productivity, strengthen resilience, and enhance household livelihoods.
