Abstract
The five-day kick-off meeting launched implementation of AIRTEA's eleven third-party projects. It aimed to build a shared vision of the project, review EC/OACPS contracting and reporting rules, strengthen the projects' logical frameworks and the overall M&E framework, revise Year 1 work plans and budgets, explain communication and visibility requirements, and let the KCB Foundation present co-financing opportunities. The report summarizes opening speeches by the leaders of FARA, ASARECA, EAFF, the OACPS Technical Assistance Unit, the KCB Foundation and Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture. It records each project's presentation with participants' comments, plus sessions on M&E, fiduciary rules, ABLA and communication strategy. Agreed actions included revised logframes, work plans and budgets by 15 April 2022, contracts by 30 April 2022, consortium agreements and project fact sheets.
