8 Things We Learned From Kenyan Farmers During COVID-19

The past year has been exceptionally hard for Kenyan farmers. Their farms have been ravaged by floods and locusts, and, since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to the farming economy. In June 2020, we started listening to 500 small-scale Kenyan farmers every month. We heard about their lived experience during the pandemic and how livelihoods were adversely affected by supply chain disruptions and government lockdowns.
This report is the culmination of our work over the last 12 months, and the voices of over 6,000 Kenyan farmers.

Experience of Polio Vaccinators with Digital Payments

Delays and challenges in vaccinator payments have been identified as a common issue affecting polio campaign quality. We surveyed vaccinators who participated in the polio campaigns in Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia, and Republic of the Congo, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the countries and the World Health Organization’s Digital Finance Team. The aim of these studies is to understand vaccinators’ experience with mobile money payments as well as how to ensure that payments are timely, complete, and convenient.

These are the first of several studies we will undertake on the same topic. In the coming months we will be sharing results from upcoming polio campaigns in Burkina Faso and Gambia.
