Kenya Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (KeFAAS)

The Kenya Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (KeFAAS) is the national platform that brings together actors involved in agricultural extension and advisory services. It connects government agencies, NGOs, private sector players, research institutions, and farmer organizations. Through this network, KeFAAS works to improve how farmers access knowledge, skills, and practical support. Its goal is to create a modern, responsive, and efficient extension ecosystem.

KeFAAS promotes collaboration so that farmers receive consistent information from field officers, digital platforms, and training programs. It encourages innovation by supporting new extension models such as mobile-based advice, climate-smart training, and public-private partnerships. As a result, farmers can adopt better practices quickly and with more confidence.

The forum actively engages in policy discussions. It provides input on national guidelines and strategies that shape Kenya’s extension landscape. In addition, KeFAAS organizes workshops and learning events that bring experts together to share experiences from across the country. These sessions help members exchange practical solutions that improve farmer outreach.

KeFAAS also focuses on building strong county-level networks. It works with local governments to strengthen their extension departments and align county programs with national priorities. This approach ensures that farmers in different regions receive support that fits their specific challenges.

Through coordination, advocacy, and innovation, KeFAAS plays a central role in shaping Kenya’s agricultural advisory system. Its work strengthens farmers’ knowledge, boosts productivity, and helps the sector adapt to changing climate and market conditions.
