In a transformative initiative, maize farmers from Alale and Kapchok ward in West Pokot County are set to benefit from essential farm inputs donated by the United Nations Development Programme-Africa Borderans Centre (UNDP-ABC) in collaboration with the county government.
Speaking at Bethany Academy school in Kacheliba Constituency, national coordinator for the UNDP program, Bernard Kimutai, said the effort aims to combat food insecurity and foster community cohesion.
Kimutai said the initiative aims to enhance agricultural production, improve food security, and promote community cohesion among residents.
He said 140 small-holding farmers from Alale ward received 17 kilograms of planting and topdressing fertilizer, along with a 2-kilogram bag of fast-maturing maize seeds.
