It seeks to mobilize 35% of funding from the Government of Kenya and County Governments, 45% from the private sector, and 20% from development and bilateral partners. The initiative aligns with the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Kampala Declaration and has garnered support from international partners like Germany, which announced additional funding.
