GAIN Briefing Paper n°17: Strengthening Traditional Food Markets for Inclusive Food Systems in Kenya

- 08/07/2026

Traditional food markets are central to Kenya’s food systems, providing fresh and affordable food to consumers as well as jobs, income, and livelihoods to farmers and traders. However, despite Kenya’s strong food policy environment, governance of traditional food markets is often weakly integrated and under-prioritised. This prevents unlocking the markets’ full potential for food security, nutrition, and inclusive growth. This briefing paper examines governance in three traditional food markets in Bungoma and Busia County, Western Kenya, using a mixed-methods approach combining key informant interviews, vendor surveys, direct market observations, participatory workshops, and a review of relevant policy and governance documents to assess how governance arrangements shape market performance.
