The purpose of the assessment is to provide information that with will be used in the development of food strategy document for Kisumu County. The technical team comprised of the 3 consultants, 6 technical assistants and 12 enumerators. Other participants included FAO staff and FLAG representatives.

According to Prof. George Onyango, a lead consultant in geo spatial mapping geographical information systems will be used to determine the distribution of the value chain actors. The information will be as a strategy for planning and decision making,

The survey will take a minimum of 10 days falling between 13th to 30th September 2021, and will be targeting household families and key informants within and outside Kisumu. The data collection process will officially immense on Monday this week

The co-chairman of the FLAG , Mr. Samba Nixon thanked the technical team for incorporating the youth in the exercise since they are the future of the country. The County Executive Committee member for Agriculture, Irrigation, Livestock and Fisheries, Mr. Okuom added that they were keen on circumstances under which food was handled.

He later pleaded with all the data collectors and technical assistance team have high integrity while in the field. He further implored them to be conscious of social, political and economic dynamics.
