Kenya National Bureau of Statistics · 2023
Economic Survey 2023 (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Official national statistical series provide context for dairy production and the wider agricultural economy. National aggregates are not project baselines.
Scope: Kenya · National statistics
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics · 2024 report · released 2025
National Agriculture Production Report 2024 (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Crop and livestock production reporting informs sector context and the selection of baseline data sources. It does not validate the proposed programme targets.
Scope: Kenya · National production evidence
International Livestock Research Institute · 2023
Market Analysis Annex for Kenya — Pathways to Dairy Net-Zero Project (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Compiles Kenya Dairy Board production, marketing and processing data; useful context for value-chain design, not evidence of this programme’s environmental outcomes.
Scope: Kenya · Secondary national data
ILRI research with KALRO co-authorship · 2021
Within-herd genetic and phenotypic analysis of selected production and fertility traits of multibreed commercial dairy cows in Kenya (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Herd-level production and fertility variation supports context-specific husbandry and careful baseline design. Findings are not nationally representative.
Scope: Kenya · Herd-level research
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations · 2023
Food Systems Profile – Kenya (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: A national food-system assessment situates livestock and dairy within broader food security, inclusion and sustainability questions.
Scope: Kenya · National food-system assessment
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations · 2023
Livestock Production Systems Spotlight: Cattle and Poultry Sectors in Kenya (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Distinguishes intensive, semi-intensive and extensive cattle production systems, supporting differentiated rather than one-size-fits-all intervention design.
Scope: Kenya · National production-system framework
Kenya Dairy Board regulatory framework · Kenya Law · 2021 · consolidated edition 2022
The Dairy Industry (Dairy Produce Safety) Regulations (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: The regulatory framework informs dairy-produce safety and handling requirements. Applicable criteria and current legal requirements must be checked before designing sampling and compliance measures.
Scope: Kenya · National regulatory framework
Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization · March 2020
Climate Smart Agricultural Technologies, Innovations and Management Practices for Dairy Value Chain: Training of Trainers’ Manual (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: Technical dairy husbandry guidance informs context-appropriate training, climate-smart practices and disease-control learning. It is not evidence of adoption by programme farmers.
Scope: Kenya · Technical extension guidance
World Organisation for Animal Health · 2024 edition
Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Chapter 1.4: Animal health surveillance (opens in a new tab)
Use in the proposal: International guidance informs surveillance objectives, design and interpretation. It does not establish local disease prevalence or imply eradication; the applicable current edition should be checked during protocol review.
Scope: International · Technical surveillance standard
