Food Shortage, Donors give Kenya Sh. 13.2bn grant
Kenya has received a Sh13.2 billion grant from development partners to address the food deficit in the country.
Agriculture Principal Secretary Richard Lesiyampe has said Kenya is still importing cereals to meet its food requirements.
According to the PS, the grant is financed under a strategic partnership of European Union (EU), International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) and seeks to contribute to the reduction of rural poverty and food insecurity.
The PS said the agriculture sector accounts for more than 60 per cent of total national employment, with women providing 75 per cent of the labour force.
