New Financing and Vaccination Programs Launched to Boost Kenya's Livestock Sector - November 2025

Avenews, in partnership with the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) and the Kenya Livestock Marketing Council (KLMC), has launched a Sh2.5 billion trade-driven financing model. This model aims to boost the efficiency and inclusivity of Kenya's livestock market by enhancing capital access for stakeholders. In a separate initiative, Kenya has launched a renewed national vaccination drive for ruminants. This is a collaborative effort between GALVmed, the Kenya Veterinary Association (KVA), and the Ministry of Agriculture. The vaccination rollout aims to significantly boost livestock productivity, increase farmer incomes, and expand Kenya’s access to regional and global markets.
