Deepening Agrodealer Impact In Coastal Kenya [DAICK]
Project Title: Deepening Agrodealer Impact In Coastal Kenya [DAICK]
Impact Area: Kenya –
Kilifi and Kwale
Dates: March 2013 – February 2016
The aim of the proposed intervention was to deepen Agrodealer impact in Kilifi and Kwale counties in the coastal region of Kenya, by replicating some of the successes realized during the implementation of the Kenya Agrodealer Strengthening Project KASP that began to address constraints like; weak smallholder links to markets, Missing Intermediate Distributorship Arrangements, Lack of or Limited Basic Knowledge of Soil Fertility Issues and Absence of Agrodealer Outlets.
