Today, CS Mithika Linturi launched phase two of the Kenya Integrated Agriculture Management Information System (KIAMIS) that will be crucial in the implementation of the Agriculture Transformation and Growth Strategy (ASTGS), 2019 – 2029.
KIAMIS is a digital platform with various components that facilitate farmer registration and establish a national central farmers’ database.
Recently, the government launched a rapid national farmers’ registration through the National Government Administration (Chiefs, Assistant Chiefs and village elders). This effort has led to registration of 4.2 million farmers.
In a press briefing, the CS announced that the Swedish Government has offered Kenya a grant of Sh650 million to implement KIAMIS Phase II, with main focus being registration of all farmers and establishment of a complete, central farmers’ database which will be implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
