Global Affairs Canada Assesses Impact of BRAINS Project in Kenya
Representatives from Global Affairs Canada recently visited Kenya to evaluate the progress of the BRAINS project, a five-year initiative aimed at enhancing climate resilience and improving livelihoods for farmers and enterprises. The project, known as Building Equitable Climate-Resilient African Bean & INsect Sectors (BRAINS), is implemented by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), the Alliance through PABRA, and the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe). Over three days, stakeholders observed the alignment of research, markets, and finance in regions such as Nakuru, Nairobi, and Kiambu. The visit aimed to determine if the project, now two years in, is translating into tangible benefits for local communities.
