They discussed the Government Cooperative Programme Project Agreement for the GCF titled " Transforming Livelihoods through Climate Resilience,Low Carbon, Sustainable Agriculture Value Chains in the Lake Region Economic Bloc".
This project leverages private sector involvement, smallholder farming networks, and the strength of Kenya's cooperative movement, creating a platform for technology transfer and scaling up efforts.
In addition, it will support community-led climate actions that focus on sustainable agricultural production, as well as the protection and restoration of ecosystem services, aligning with the UN food systems agenda.
