They increase levels of irrigation They are typically better than current irrigation options Better yields Opportunity to plant in
Greater resilience Can grow higher value crops Lower total lifetime cost of alternatives Can be ‘smart’, so controlled and monitored remotely (to check for over-usage of water) More environmentally friendly than diesel pumps Control is in the hands

Number of households with a solar water pumps in Kenya under each policy intervention (no of HHs) 200,000 400,000 600,000 800,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,400,000 2028 2026 2022 2020 2024 2030
Policy intervention 2 - Credit financing Total addressable market - SWPs Policy intervention 3 - Market awareness Policy intervention 1 - Subsidies Policy intervention 4 - Financing access to water Base case (No interventions)

Those that address the affordability constraint are likely to have the greatest impact The total addressable market will increase over time as income levels increase

Policy intervention 2 and 4 combined Credit + water access Policy intervention 1 and 2 combined Subsidies + credit Policy intervention 1 and 4 combined Subsidies + water access Total addressable market - SWPs Policy intervention 1, 2, 4 combined Subsidies + credit + water access Policy intervention 1, 2, 3, 4 combined Subsidies + credit + awareness + water access
Under the combined policy interventions, around 1.1 Million additional hectares will be irrigated by 2030 compared to 165k currently irrigated (3% of Kenya’s arable land)

Aggregated impact in terms of yield per county under combined policy interventions 1,2,3,4 (MT)

Projected annual food production due to combined policy interventions (Million MT) Increase of the agricultural part of GDP under combined policy interventions (%) 23 42 Food production (Million MT) +78%
Current food production Projected food production in 2030
Food production will increase 78%, supporting the aim of a 50% of reduction in the number of food insecure Kenyans 2020 2030 26% Agriculture as % of GDP 74% 35% Agriculture as % of GDP 65% This will represent a 35% increase in the proportion
