This document summarizes the Kenya Horticulture Competitiveness Project (KHCP), which aims to develop Kenya's horticulture industry through improving productivity, value addition, marketing, and trade. The project is funded by USAID from 2010-2015 and targets several provinces. Its goals include substantially increasing incomes for 200,000 smallholder farmers, half of whom will be women. The project takes an approach of working with private and public sector partners on objectives like maintaining exports and developing new crops. It identifies key gender constraints like social norms limiting women's employment and proposes solutions such as innovative payment schemes for women producers.
