Partnership for technology innovation in the management of water hyacinth, Managed aquifer recharge and livestock resource management in the ASALs for climate change mitigation Business Finland have discussed with the UNIDO Kenya Country Office on three offerings for potential partnership as follows: - 1.Utilization of water Hyacinth an invasive species in Lake Victoria as an economic resource.  Water hyacinth, an invasive species around Lake Victoria and also globally is native to the South American continent and causes multi-faceted problems # environmental, economic and social. A water hyacinth infestation is difficult to destroy and is seldom totally eradicated. Instead, it must be continually managed. In Lake Victoria, water hyacinths increased rapidly between 1992#1998, were greatly reduced by 2001 through various management techniques that included hyacinth eating insect controls and beach cleanups but have since resurged.  Business Finland in partnership with UNIDO and other actors is proposing to pilot a project that promotes the harvesting and the utilization of the hyacinth biomass as an economically beneficial resource. The Finnish partnership will pilot innovative technology for harvesting and processing the water hyacinth into an array of products including green energy generation. A research component of the project shall focus on the production of biochar, and biogas, pelleting, briquetting and the use of fertilizers produced from biochar and digestate.  2. Climate cha

Building institutional capacity to promote innovation in the manufacturing sector The proposed project which is a follow up to the completed KNSI project, as requested by the Government of Kenya addresses the fundamental issues that are geared toward improvement of innovation performance of the manufacturing sector in Kenya. It is well known and accepted that sustained long-term productivity growth is based on technological change. Such change has its roots in various kinds of innovation, including product, process, organizational and marketing innovation. Arguably Innovation, from the viewpoint of economic sectors, is best cultivated in manufacturing. The project that will be developed as a result of the preparatory assistance will be in line with Strategic Result 3, specified in Kenya#s United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2014-2018, which states that #by 2030 Kenya is an industrialized middle income country with a modern, inclusive, diversified and 24-hour economy; growth is inclusive and achieves sustainable development; trade is modernized, balanced, competitive and regionally integrated and employment matches the demand, is stable, private sector and SME-driven, decent, equitably accessible particularly to youth, women <(>&<)> vulnerable groups and human rights compliant#.
Technical Assistance for the final elimination of Methyl-Bromide in post-harvest sector in Kenya The project seeks to phase out the remaining controlled methyl bromide used in Kenya prior to 1 Jan 2015. This ODS (methyl bromide) is currently used for disinfestation and quality maintenance of white maize, held in concrete silo bins equipped with gas recirculation. The alternative chosen for implementation and sustainable use is an integrated combination of phosphine fumigation and grain chilling. Both techniques are applied using modified, existing infrastructure for gas recirculation. Phosphine fumigation takes longer to achieve disinfestation than methyl bromide, but the equivalent treatment rate is achieved through ability to treat multiple grain bins simultaneously. The chilling subsequent to treatment reduces selection pressure for resistance to phosphine while ensuring appropriate quality maintenance and sustainable use of the alternative fumigant.
Improving competitiveness and trade for selected value chains The main project purpose is to contribute to the economic development of the Kenya by increasing the value of both extra and intra-regional agricultural exports in selected horticulture sub sectors (snow peas and peas, mangoes, passion fruit, chilies, herbs and spices, nuts).  Recent studies have analysed the reasons for low productivity and competitiveness in these value chains  such as the need of specialised extension services and a diffuse lack of knowledge on appropriate good agricultural practices. These value chains for exports are also lacking compliance with market requirements and standards. National quality infrastructure have an advanced Quality Infrastructure, however some conformity assessment services are not yet fully recognized by the targeted international markets.  This project addresses these challenges through an intervention, which aims to:  # Improve the institutional and regulatory framework for better conformity assessment services in Kenya#s horticultural sector. # Increasing revenue and MARKUP for Kenya#s smallholder producers and enterprises in export-oriented horticulture sectors.  The current project will build upon the success of the SMAP project to further strengthen the market potential of high value horticulture.
INTEGRATED PROGRAMME FOR KENYA, PHASE II - BUILDING CAPACITIES FOR COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN KENYA
Economic empowerment of pastoralist communities through the commercialization of mursik The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate and foster value addition and to diversify sources of incomes for pastoralists co mmunities with special focus on women and youth by commercializing mursik and optimizing the functioning of the dairy value chain in Narok county, Kenya.  Mursik is a traditional curdled milk product produced by the largely pastoralist Kalenjin and Maasai communities in Kenya that has been in existence for the last 300 years.  The pastoralist production system is characterized by seasonal or annual mobility of livestock in search of pasture over large areas of rangelands. The pastoralists production system is increasingly failing to provide sustainable livelihood as droughts are frequent and the rainy seasons are short over which period the pasture land is under water. Overall productivity and incomes in these communities are extremely low.  Commercialization of mursik in Narok county therefore presents opportunities to: I. Increase incomes earned from dairying for pastoralist producers by establishing backward linkages from processor to producers in view of building the capacity of the producers to increase raw milk production meeting quality and quantity necessary to keep the processing facility operational year round; II. To promote climate resilient dairy production systems;an

Minimizing risk for youth radicalization and violent extremism in the coast region of Kenya through jobs and incomes from the development of the coconut value chain This project concept has been prepared following a request received from the government of Kenya in June 2019 to support the development of the coconut industry in the coastal region of Kenya and the follow up discussions with Messrs Greencoco Europe AG, a German/Austrian private company engaged in the  production, processing and marketing of coconut value-added products. The Kenya coastal region, formerly known as the coast province, comprises six counties, namely, Kwale, Taita Taveta, Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu and Tana River.  Many residents of Mombasa, Malindi, and Lamu [all in Coast Province] hold stronger ties with the Arabian Peninsula than with Kenya#s own interior. These ties make them particularly receptive to jihadist ideology and radicalization emanating from the Middle East and other parts of the world.  Further, Kenya#s close proximity to unstable states (Somalia, South Sudan, and Ethiopia), along with its inability to protect its borders, exacerbates the problem. It has been suggested that lack of effective representation in politics, and perceived #discrimination# and lack of economic, educational and other opportunities in the coastal region makes the youth more susceptible to radicalization.

Supporting  the establishment of integrated agro-industrial parks in Kenya The Kenya Industrial Transformation Programme (KITP), and the Big Four agenda outlines the country#s strategy for achieving the Vision 2030 goal of becoming an industrial hub. It identifies industrialization opportunities where the country has natural competitive advantages, both regionally and globally to develop the country#s industrial base, including agro-processing as one of the key sectors that can contribute to industrialization and drive Kenya#s economic growth. To this end, the Programme for Country Partnership (PCP) for Kenya focus on three key sectors (textiles, leather and agro processing).  It is in this context that the Government of Kenya proposes to create integrated agro industrial parks (IAIPS) to promote investment in agro-industries. The development of IAIPs, is critical for rural development in that it creates a market for agricultural raw materials, as it is established near the raw material sources, allows for integration of small holder farmers, has high potential for job creation and overall provides the requisite infrastructure for agro industry development where entrepreneurs can plug and play. Kenya is proposing to establish seven (7) integrated agro industrial parks across the country.  The proposed project aims at supporting the government of Kenya in the conceptualization and desi
