The program also supports the establishment of fish feed production centers, hatcheries, and fish processing plants to promote value addition in the sector.

In addition, the Programme provides financial support to small-scale farmers through a revolving fund that offers loans for fish farming inputs and equipment. The program also works to strengthen the capacity of farmer groups and cooperatives, to enable them to access markets, negotiate better prices for their products, and collaborate with other actors in the value chain.

The Programme has had a significant impact on the aquaculture sector in Kenya, with over 20,000 farmers benefitting from the Programme since its inception. The programme has helped to increase fish production in the country, reduce fish imports, and improve the livelihoods of small-scale farmers.
