    "content": "The CS briefed Senators as follows: (a) That following His Excellency the President’s direction that the recommendations of the National Coffee Task Force be implemented, the World Bank made a commitment to support the implementation of the coffee reforms. (b) That this was followed by the launch of a pilot project involving eight counties; Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Embu and Machakos. This was supported through the World Bank funds. (c) That the first phase of the World Bank supported coffee revitalisation project would focus on the eight counties and based on the outcome of these pilots, the programme will be upscaled and outscaled to all coffee growing counties. (d) That the pilots will be funded by the World Bank for Kshs1.5 billion and the county governments will also avail counterpart funds of up to Kshs500 million. (e) That the selection of the eight counties was guided by the following criteria. (I) Current production and farmers’ population. About 75 per cent of all the clean coffee produced and 70 per cent of the smallholder coffee farmers in the country are in the selected counties. (II) Alignment of coffee revitalisation to county priorities for agriculture development. In all the above counties, coffee is prioritised in the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) as an intervention in addressing food security.
