The project involves collaboration between various research and extension institutions including Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (the lead institution), Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRl), Natural Resources Institute UK (NRJ) and the Ministry of Agriculture Livestock Development and Marketing. The survey itself was a truly collaborative and multi-disciplinary exercise with a team drawn from the collaborating institutions, other Government Departments and a local NGO; exemplifying the joint memorandum of understanding on research-extension linkages.
