Inadequate coordination of sectoral policies in formulation and in implementation. Weak involvement of private sector in policy implementation. Poor linkage with infrastructural development. Strengthening coordination of implementation of agricultural policies through greater sectoral linkages and enhancing private sector involvement. Strengthening institutional collaboration for the exploitation of high potential areas. Linking rural roads, electrification, communication and agricultural markets to the regional networks.
National Livestock Policy (2006) The Policy promotes protection of water catchments areas and supports construction and maintenance of water sources for livestock and the role of the livestock sector in national food and nutrition security. The Policy is weak in promoting trade facilitating infrastructure and services especially in rural areas caused by poor feeder roads, limited livestock haulage and holding facilities as well as underdeveloped market chain for livestock and livestock products. Proposed interventions include making policy provisions for improving rural and urban infrastructure and trade-related capacities for improved livestock market access as well as developing livestock and livestock products and related commodity value chains National Fisheries Sector Policy and Strategy Statement The policy recognizes the potential of the fisheries sector including fish farming in contribution to the food supply and high quality protein and nutrients; and the potential for employment creation Insufficient programmes to address issues of declining and endangered aquatic species. Lack of proper legal frameworks to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing. Expand the network of fisheries products by investing in infrastructure to support deep sea fishing for local investors. Improving fishing techniques for artisanal fishers to reduce post harvest losses. Strengthening regulatory frameworks in the fisheries sector. The National Irrigation Policy (2010) The Policy recognizes the potential of irrigation to promote Inadequate integration of water resources management systems and Developing integrated water resources management systems for agricultural production.

Cooperative Development Policy (2002) The policy recognizes cooperatives as people and controlled institutions for development in the agricultural sector. Poor resource base for developing cooperatives into viable business entities. Reorganize cooperatives into economically viable and service oriented entities. Institute risks protection instruments as confidence building
measures for members. SME Policy (2003) The policy recognize the need for development of infrastructure such as road, cold warehouses, power, water and communication on SMEs, The commercial farming activities are not recognized as part of SMEs SMEs support services should be improved and extended to cover all commercial agricultural operators. The business environment should be improved to foster profitability of SME operations in agriculture. National Trade Policy 2003 The policy recognizes the need for harmonization of trade policies and the importance of value addition to promote competitiveness in agriculture. Weak implementation of the policy especially in participation in regional and international trade. Streamlining the regime to address agricultural commodity trading locally and internationally. Providing trade facilitation services in areas of transport, communication and technology transfer. National Investment Promotion Policy (1996) It recognizes the importance of fostering research and development, encourage adoption of new production technology, improving extension services etc. for The policy is silent on the promotion of rural power investments such as electricity and other sources of energy. Extend promotion of investment of other infrastructure such as rural electrification given that only 12 percent of the population has access to power.
conservation, access, allocation and utilization of water resources so that all social and economical activities are able to maximize their capacities. insufficient technical and financial resources for implementation of the policy. increased focus on institutional strengthening for sustainable utilization and management of water resources. Agricultural Marketing Policy (2008) The Policy provides guidelines and directives addressing constraints and challenges facing the agricultural marketing systems. Implementation framework not in place and further hampered by the unfavorable and inconsistent legal and regulatory framework.
