      INTRODUCTION

      KNOW MORE ABOUT US

      Empowering Novel Agribusiness-Led Employment (ENABLE) Program is co- funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Government. This youth initiative is a comprehensive program that builds entrepreneurship in agribusiness through skill acquisition and creates an enabling environment in which the youth become owners of profitable agribusinesses. The main objective of the program is to create gainful employment, generate income for the youth and bridge succession gap in agribusiness and related value chains. The program period is five years from January, 2018 to December, 2022.

      MISSION AND AIM

      ABOUT OUR

      Our workshop serves as a platform to disseminate cutting-edge technologies and innovations in cassava production, processing, and marketing. It facilitates learning, collaboration, and problem-solving to address the challenges and opportunities within the cassava value chain.

      Food and nutrition security in Kenya is challenged by factors such as climate change, emerging crop diseases, and disruptions in the global food supply network.

      Cassava, a drought-resistant and multipurpose crop, stands out for its unique qualities and potential to contribute to food security and employment.

      Cassava’s popularity has grown steadily due to its appeal among consumers and its industrial applications, leading to increased production and research efforts.

      Various development organizations and state agencies, such as KALRO and KEPHIS, are collaborating on models to promote cassava commercialization from seed to market systems.

      Regulatory measures, including seed certification protocols, flour blending regulations, and standards for blended flours, are being developed to support cassava’s growth.

      NCCE, supported by Self Help Africa and the EU, brings together stakeholders to strengthen business connections, reflect on successes, improve regulatory environments, and promote cassava investment, standards, and national branding.

      1.  

      The primary goal of NCCE is to establish strong business linkages, foster trade facilitation, highlight achievements, enhance regulatory efficiency, and boost investment in the cassava value chain.

      NCCE aims to increase awareness and consumption of cassava through collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and showcasing cassava’s value and potential.
