Food security has been a great challenge in Kenya even after a great intervention by
Government ministries, private sectors and stakeholders. There are several factors that cause
food insecurity in Kenya. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which the
Stakeholders’ Participation affects food security strategy implementation in Kenya. The study
will benefit Government institutions, Private sector and NGOs, to better understand the key
factors to enable the success of the implementation, provide relevant information on challenges
of implementation for new institutions joining the programme and also provide additional

Private sectors, NGOs and UN, who participates in strategy implementation of food security
