Transitioning technology deployment to adoption: Implementation challenges of the TAAT program in Western Kenya

Résumé

This research explores the challenges hindering the transition from deployment to adoption of agricultural technologies within the TAAT program in Western Kenya. It focuses on identifying infrastructural, resource-based, and socio-cultural barriers that impede widespread adoption by smallholder farmers. The study uses a mixed-methods approach to gather data from diverse stakeholders – farmers, community-based organizations, and program implementers. By analyzing these viewpoints, the research sheds light on the complexities of the adoption process. Ultimately, the findings aim to inform the development of comprehensive strategies that address these multifaceted challenges. This will contribute to the improved effectiveness of TAAT and similar programs, fostering increased agricultural technology adoption and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis was submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in International Relations degree at the United States International University—Africa.
