KEY ISSUES & STATUS 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP) was approved by the World Bank Board on March 29, 2022, became effective in September 2022 and was subsequently launched in January 2023. Despite the initial delays in project effectiveness and launch generally associated with the electioneering period of 2022 and subsequent formation of new government administrations at national and county levels, the project has made remarkable progress in rollout of implementation across all participating counties. The following are some of the key highlights of project achievements so far: (i) all the 33 participating counties have signed Participation Agreements and established fully-staffed county project coordination units (CPCUs); (ii) the project has successfully conducted a nationwide digital registration of all farmers in Kenya, a first for any country in Africa, building a national farmer registry of 6.4 million farmers; (iii) the project has established 440 Ward-based SACCOs and 558 Farmer producer Organizations to support access to improved agricultural inputs, and support for output aggregation, marketing and value addition; and (iv) the project has established necessary technical assistance partnerships to deploy 18,000 digitally equipped agripreneurs to support last mile extension services in all rural wards of Kenya Overall, the Project is rated as Satisfactory on progress towards the project development objective (PDO) and Moderately Satisfactory on overall implementation progress (IP). Disbursement rate stands at 41% and is expected to reach 55% by December 2024. 5.
