Project Goals

• Scale the adoption of sustainable soil management (SSM) practices through farmer training, extension services, and watershed rehabilitation across Kenya’s Western region.
  • Strengthen coordination and learning among diverse implementing partners to ensure cohesive delivery of “on-farm” and “off-farm” interventions.
  • Support the Government of Kenya to develop a national Agricultural Soil Management Policy and Bill, and roll out a competence-based SSM curriculum across agricultural training institutions.
  • Facilitate county-level localization of soil policies and curriculum implementation to support long-term institutional uptake.
  • Contribute to the Western Kenya Soil Organic Carbon Project (WEKSOCAP), supporting carbon credit generation and reinvestment into extension services.
  • Systematize knowledge management by documenting project learnings and sharing findings with stakeholders at national and international levels.
  • Advance agroecological transformation through the ProSilience component, focusing on evidence-based innovation, private sector engagement, and national-level policy advocacy.
  • Promote inclusive participation, with special focus on smallholder farmers, women, and youth in agroecological transitions and soil health improvements.
