INTRODUCTION Objective and Context of the Inventory: This inventory of key stakeholders in trade and food security in Kenya was prepared for the Food and Trade Network for East Africa (FATNEA) by Simon Schnetzer (consultant) and with support of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), and in cooperation with the FATNEA National Focal Point for Kenya, Mr. Thomas Barasa and Mr. Benedict Omondi. The purpose of the inventory is to assist FATNEA in (i) reaching out – in Kenya - to new possible members, strategic partners and supporters of the newly institutionalised Network; and (ii) to help FATNEA develop a strategic work plan which fills out remaining gaps in already existing policy advocacy work on trade and food security in East Africa and which does not duplicate work already being underway. The same inventory has been prepared for Tanzania by Simon Schnetzer in cooperation with the FATNEA National Focal Point for Tanzania (Prof. Bertha Koda), and in Uganda by Mr. Alexander Werth in cooperation with the FATNEA National Focal Point for Uganda (Mr. Augustine Mwendya). Research Methodology: The research was conducted in two phases: 1. Phase: Extensive consultations with representatives of key governmental, civil society, private sector, donor and academic actors based in Nairobi, Kenya, with the aim to identify the most relevant Kenyan actors at the intersection of trade on food security policy. 2. Phase: Session of interviews and further research through consultation of stakeholders and existing databases on the subject. Complementary information generation was undertaken through internet research. Criteria for Characterization: The presentation of the different civil society, private sector, governmental and donor organisations is divided into contact information (left side) and background information (right side). The study largely uses the format developed in Arne Schuffenhauer, Deutsche Institute und Fakultäten mit Bezug zu Handel und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, GTZ: Eschborn, 2004; but the format was further customised for the particular purpose of this inventory, by e.g. adding the outreach and trade components. Thanks:

I wish to thank Mrs. Aira Htenas (FAO), Mr. Benedict Omondi (FATNEA), Mrs. Pamela Chesire (RATES), Mr. Peter Munyi (SEAPRI/ICIPE) and Mr. Raimund Hoffmann (GTZ) for their kind support.
