Up-scaling and out-scaling conservation agriculture technologies: the case of a local innovation platform in Eastern Kenya

An innovation platform (IP) is a forum for diagnosing problems of common interest, exploring opportunities and solutions. Such a platform comprises a multi-sectoral and/or a multi-institutional partners. The initiative can be formed at national, intermediary (district/county) and operational/farm levels. The national level IP provides guidance on the implementation of any new technology or initiative generated by a program. The intermediary level IP is established at provincial, county or district level to manage multiplier effects and enhance the impact. The farm level IP is organized at the community level with direct participation of beneficiaries.
