Rimisp and international partners conclude INCATA project activities in Nairobi, Kenya
Rodrigo Yáñez and Andrés Fuica of Rimisp, together with Carolina Trivelli of the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos (IEP), participated in the closing public event of the INCATA project in Nairobi, Kenya on February 4th. The objective of the meeting was to present the final results of the research on the link between small producers and medium-sized enterprises in agrifood chains in Africa and Asia.
The INCATA project was supported by the Gates Foundation and was implemented by a consortium of international partners in which Rimisp played a key role, working closely with Michigan State University (USA), the Tegemeo Institute of Egerton University in Kenya, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
The meeting, held at KOFISI Square, presented the final findings on the so-called “hidden middle” of the horticulture and aquaculture agrifood chains in Kenya and the Odisha region of India. The researchers analyzed how micro, small and medium-sized enterprises facilitate the commercialization of small-scale producers in Africa and Asia..
The agenda in Nairobi included panel discussions with key public and private sector stakeholders, focused on integrating these findings into national and regional policy processes.
Visit to the Kawangware market and closing of the activities
Prior to the closing event, INCATA project partners met for two days to share the results of the initiative implemented in Africa and Asia. At the end of the week’s work, the researchers took the time to visit the Kawangware market in Nairobi.
With the completion of these activities in Kenya, the INCATA project closes a critical stage of applied knowledge generation. The initiative’s findings underscore that support for the “hidden middle” is vital for a truly inclusive and employment-generating agricultural transformation.
