Annex 17 : impact of COVID 19 on male and female black soldier fly entrepreneurs in Kenya

Abstract

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the project experienced delays in implementation. Training for group leaders was face to face. The project formed county-based groups of 50 Agripreneurs in the area of insect for feed. They were also engaged in identification of group leaders who were then trained and mentored for purposes of building further capacity among the members. The availability of both trainer’s manual and participant’s workbook facilitated interpretation and understanding. The report provides a detailed analysis of project activities and findings. Unlike other models which focus on transforming subsistence farmers into agricultural producers, the Living Lab model develops entrepreneurship as well as production capacity.
