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.
