Among the major achievements of Tegemeo Institute’s TAMPA Project are:

• Developing a rural household panel data for the years 1996/1997, 1997/1998, 1999/2000, and 2001/2002 crop years. This database has provided policy makers with important insights on the impact of policies implemented since the mid 1990s on rural livelihoods;
• Sensitized the committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources on the tea, sugar, maize, and coffee sub-sectors;
• Contributed to the new Cooperative Sessional Papers and subsequent Acts of Parliament;
• Participated in the preparation, formulation, and dissemination of the Kenya Rural Development Study (KRDS) as input into Kenya’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP);
• Participated in the preparation and formulation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and participated in most Sector Working Groups for the preparation of the PRSP;
• Participated in the formulation and dissemination of the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS).
• Participated in the preparation and formulation of the Strategy for Revitalization of Agriculture (SRA);
• Assisted in establishing the Kenya Private Sector Association (KEPSA), which is now a private sector policy lobby group;
• Involved in the formulation of Monitoring and Evaluation Systems for the PRSP/ERS;
• Monitored changes in agricultural performance by tracing and monitoring welfare, income, and income components over time, through the use of easy-to-collect proxy variables;
• Involved in the formulation of the strategy to privatise and liberalize the coffee and sugar industries in government appointed Task Forces;
• Sensitized the Constitution Review Commission on the role of agriculture in the Kenyan economy and how stakeholders in agriculture could be empowered in the new constitution;
• Promoted policy dialogue and advocacy among producers, consumers, civil society, private sector and parliamentarians that has contributed to a more all encompassing and inclusive policy formulation process in Kenya.
