TAAT's Pathway to Scale Up Brings Hope to Maize Farmers in Kenya

To meet its target of 2 million beneficiaries, the TAAT Maize Compact established partnerships with all key stakeholders including governments, private sector, research institutes, commercial seed companies, farmer groups, commodity associations and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS). With smallholder farmers constituting a huge chunk of primary beneficiaries of maize technology transfer efforts, the TAAT Maize Compact focalised on involving women and youths in the maize value chain, aiming at increasing their participation by 20% and 10%, respectively.

In partnership with 28 seed companies (4 in Kenya, 4 in Uganda, 6 in Tanzania, 8 in Zambia and 6 in Zimbabwe), the Maize Compact has so far facilitated the establishment of 4,256 demonstration plots, conducted 757 field days, distributed 84,321 free small pack seeds to boost the scale up of over 17,340 tons of climate smart maize seeds produced in partnership with the seed companies.
