摘要：

To assess these national capacity needs, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support Systems (ReSAKSS) initiated a study in Kenya and other African nations. Twenty-eight Kenyan organizations were determined to be key players in the agricultural policymaking process, but only 11 participated in the study. Overall, the study found that there is a need to build human, financial, and physical capacities for the major stakeholders involved in the Kenyan policymaking process. It also found that a core challenge the agricultural sector faces is the lack of a common platform to share knowledge, tasks, and experiences. A potential solution would be to establish an autonomous body to synchronize communications between stakeholders and assign them definitive tasks that align with their organizational mandates.
