5. Context Development challenges Under-investment in productivity enhancing technologies. Limited access to technology and delivery–60-70% of households had not contact with research & extension; Limited access to agric. financing; Un-managed risks increase exposure to variability in weather patterns with periodic droughts; Impacts Low productivity of crops and livestock –crop yield gaps>50% Fragile production to market systems. High vulnerability to weather and other natural disaster related challenges High levels of poverty and food insecurity: >35.5% live below the food poverty line

6. The research issues Focus Improve productivity of crops and livestock Reducing vulnerability to weather Minimizing health risk from crops to improve wellbeing and competitiveness What are the best technology packages that can catalyze improvement in productivity, resilience and value chain functionality for KK
