Implementation Framework

Governance Structure

State Steering Committee: Chaired by EES Minister of Agriculture, includes county commissioners, ADP leadership, and key development partners. Meets quarterly to review progress and provide strategic direction.

County Implementation Teams: Led by county agriculture directors, coordinate with ADP field staff, local government, and community leaders for day-to-day implementation.

Community Oversight Committees: Include traditional authorities, women and youth representatives, and farmer group leaders to ensure community ownership and accountability.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Quarterly field assessments in all counties tracking beneficiary numbers, activity completion rates, and outcome indicators. Annual external evaluation to assess impact on food security, income levels, and community relations.

Key performance indicators include: hectares under improved production, farmers trained, women and youth participating, tons of produce marketed, household income changes, and conflict incidents.

Sustainability Strategy

All infrastructure (water systems, storage facilities, training centers) handed over to county governments with trained maintenance committees and operational budgets. Farmer cooperatives and associations registered as legal entities capable of continuing activities independently.

County agriculture departments strengthened through staff training and equipment provision to provide extension services beyond project period. Partnerships with private sector ensure continued market access and input supply.
