The global programme Sustainable Agricultural Systems and Policies (AgSys) is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. The programme supports nine cooperating countries in transforming their agricultural and food systems through various interventions related to transformative policies and implementation, innovation scaling and institutionalization, agency and empowerment, sustainable agri-sector financing, and up to global level exchanges and learning. AgSys in Kenya aims to strengthen transformation processes including policy advisory towards sustainable agricultural systems at national and county level, and upwards contributing to transnational exchange.

The global programme module objective is “Transformation processes towards sustainable agricultural systems are strengthened in Kenya” and works in five fields of activity (Outputs): 

1. Promoting reform approaches through transformative agricultural policy. These approaches need to be cross-cutting and as such connect agricultural policy with other areas such as food and nutrition security, climate action and biodiversity conservation.
2. Scaling successful practices to provide support in consolidating and institutionalizing tried and-tested approaches and innovations.
3. Including input from civil society by involving non-state actors, above all women and young people, in the reform agendas.
4. Harmonizing financial contributions with the aim of transforming the national funding landscape and opening access to additional funding and contributions to support the reform agendas. 
5. Linking national and global agendas to strengthen national reform processes and enrich the debate on the transformation of agricultural and food systems.
