The KCB foundation has partnered with four county governments to support the livestock sub?sector in Kenya to shore up output and create new jobs. The deal signed on Friday will bring on board the four counties; Baringo, Isiolo, Laikipia and Samburu—under the auspices of a newly formed economic bloc dubbed ‘the Amaya triangle initiative’. The Amaya counties and the foundation have pooled funds for joint livestock marketing and production initiatives, an arrangement that has so far received Kshs 100 million from KCB foundation. The four counties will contribute a similar amount. The monies will go towards supporting livestock value chain development enterprises in the four counties. Under the partnership, the KCB foundation will facilitate credit provision towards productivity, breeding, nutrition, value addition, disease management, business development and market access initiatives for livestock keepers in meat value chains.
