The project was implemented targeting small holder farmers adopting beans value chain in Githiga and Olmoran Wards of Laikipia county. The two-year project aimed at ensuring the communities are food secure, live healthy lives and are economically empowered.

2. Capacity building of farmers in their farmer groups on climate smart agriculture to mitigate through the effects of climate change.
3. Creation of long lasting linkages of farmers to input suppliers, financial service providers and ready market for the produced beans.
