The County Government of Bomet, through the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, in partnership with the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), has officially launched the African Agriculture Adaptation Atlas (AAAA) knowledge products.
The initiative marks a key step in strengthening climate-resilient agricultural planning and evidence-based decision making.
The AAAA provides geospatial tools to help counties address climate risks, boost productivity, and enhance resilience across value chains.
The launch brought together Chief Officer for Agriculture Dr. Kibet Sitienei, CDA Korir, and technical officers and ICT officer to operationalize the platform.
County officials noted the tools are already supporting decision making, budgeting, CIDP alignment, performance reviews, staff capacity, farmer outreach, climate risk assessment, and investment planning.
The workshop demonstrated practical applications, reviewed datasets, and developed a county action plan to ensure continued use, improved data management, and stronger coordination.
The Sustainable Agriculture Foundation pledged continued technical support to keep the platform updated and relevant.
The launch positions Bomet County as a leader in data driven, climate smart agriculture for improved livelihoods and sustainable development.
