Value Chains & Market Systems

From subsistence to sustainable, climate-resilient income.

Smallholders are in your programme but still outside the market.

Market-based interventions that connect smallholder farmers, women, youth, and indigenous communities to viable markets through climate-smart agriculture, rural finance integration, and food safety frameworks.

GEDSI through GALS Methodology

Turning inclusion into measurable outcomes at household and community level. We apply GALS to translate GEDSI commitments into evidence donors recognise, including vision journey mapping, gender balance analysis, and household-level behaviour change integrated into MEL systems.

Learn More
Market Systems Development

Designing interventions that strengthen systems, not just beneficiaries. We identify the constraints, incentives, and relationships that determine whether smallholder farmers and marginalised producers can access markets sustainably, and design programs that shift those systems.

Learn More
Inclusive Value Chains & Food Systems

Market access backed by resilient systems. We support value chain development for smallholder farmers, integrating climate-smart agriculture, food safety, and rural finance to ensure programs hold under real-world conditions.

FAQ

What you need to know about development consulting in Kenya

Does Agcenture offer management consulting in Kenya?

Yes. We advise NGOs, county governments and donor-funded teams on strategy, structure and delivery. See our management consulting service. For farm clients, see our agribusiness consulting.

What should a grant proposal include?

A clear problem statement, a Theory of Change, a results framework and a budget that matches the work plan. Read our grant proposal guide.

How do I find CSR donors and funders in Kenya?

Match your thematic focus and county to a funder’s stated priorities, then read their impact reports before you write. Our guide to 20 CSR donors shows what each one funds.
