This report presents the findings of a study of the implementation of the Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP) approach and its contribution to human capital development in agriculture, particularly that of smallholder horticulture farmers in Kenya. The information is derived from a case study of the three phases of the SHEP approach implemented in Kenya between 2006 and 2020. Primary data were obtained through focus group discussions and key informant interviews with respondents representing funders, implementers at both national and county levels and smallholder farmers who participated directly in project activities. Respondents were purposively selected from among key funders and implementers and SHEP project officers in the counties and participating farmers’ groups, and ensured the inclusion of male, female and youth farmers as well as farmers living with disabilities. Data were collected virtually using interview guides and were audio recorded. The audio recordings were transcribed and analysed using MAXQDA software. Secondary data were obtained from SHEP project documents, monitoring and evaluation reports and other literature.
