Kenya's livestock sector is set to be strengthened after the successful first Kenya Fodder Contracting and Investment Action (KEFFCIA) forum, establishing two new cooperative financing models to combat climate shocks. This initiative aims to bolster fodder production and ensure food security.

• The Cooperative Fodder Fund (CFF) will enable dairy cooperatives to self-fund fodder production, while the Sustainable ASAL Fodder Economy (SAFE) Fund will support arid regions through a per-animal levy at slaughterhouses.
• Key organizations involved include the Kenya Feed and Fodder Alliance (KEFFA), AU-IBAR, and the State Department for Livestock.
• Kenya lost an estimated 2.5 million livestock during the 2021–2022 drought, highlighting the urgent need for such proactive resilience measures.
