Training and Learning Session on Enhancing Responsible Business Conduct in the Kenya’s Agribusiness Sector: Nyandarua County
On 29th and 30th October 2025, CEPCJ conducted a training and learning session under the Cultivating Justice Project: Enhancing Responsible Business Conduct in Kenya’s Agribusiness Sector. This project is being undertaken in collaboration with DanChurchAid Kenya and Pamoja Trust and funded by European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Denmark.
Participants were private sector actors drawn from Nyandarua County. The private sector actors work in agricultural value chains in Kenya across plant and animal production and have direct impact on the agribusiness sector. They range from women, youth and mixed groups that aspire to make their livelihoods in agriculture and cut across all the subsectors of plant and animal production.
The primary purpose of this training was to bring together private sector actors in the agricultural sector to discuss, strategize and collaborate on enhancing human rights and responsible business conduct and enhancing awareness of relevant legal frameworks and their impact on the day-to-day activities of these actors.
The training aimed to:
- Increase awareness of human rights and responsible business conduct in the agribusiness sector.
- To discuss the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and understand the ‘Protect, Respect and Remedy’ framework
- To discuss the need for corporate responsibility and how to employ human rights due diligence in agricultural value chains
- To strengthen collaboration between actors to support each other in enhancing RBC.
The training is part of ongoing efforts to enhance Responsible Business Conduct in the Agribusiness Sector in Kenya which is the core focus of the Cultivating Justice Project.
