Two of our main value chains with widespread adoption are mangoes and bananas with 15 SMEs incubated so far. Notably, we have supervised the implementation of Miraa Infrastructure Support Project which started in 2019 and is still ongoing. The project has resulted in the construction of 7 earth dams in Mbeere, 6 miraa market sheds in Siakago and 2 boreholes equipped with solar powered pumps in Evurori Ward .
