Overview of Njaa Marufuku Kenya

Welcome to the Njaa Marufuku Kenya Blog!
Model kitchen gardens in schools.
 Njaa Marufuku Kenya is a project by the Agriculture Sector Ministries to address food insecurity and poverty alleviation, in line with MDG 1.
It supports community driven agricultural development initiatives targeting the extremely poor and vulnerable groups in our communities. Interventions are geared towards increased agricultural productivity, food utilization, agro-processing and value-addition, health and nutrition improvement, water harvesting and conservation of the natural resource base to ensure sustainability of the current production systems.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to reduction of poverty, hunger and food insecurity among poor and vulnerable communities in Kenya by 2015. The strategic objectives include:
1. To enhance community driven food security initiatives through support to resource poor and vulnerable communities.
2. To improve the health and nutrition status of vulnerable groups (pregnant and lactating mothers, children under five and school-going children).
3. To promote participation of private sector in innovative food security and livelihoods initiatives.
4. To strengthen management and coordination of the programme through strengthening organizational structures, linkages and collaboration with stakeholders.
