SLIDE 5

Why should we consider a ‘big bet’ on irrigation and a modern solar water pump?

They increase levels of irrigation They are typically better than current irrigation options Better yields Opportunity to plant in

  • ff-season

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

  • f the farmer

(he makes the purchase decision)

SLIDE 6

However, we expect uptake of irrigation and solar water pump technology will be slow, unless policy interventions are made

  • 4. Support to increase the level
  • f water access
  • 1. A 50% smart subsidy to the

farmer for purchase of a pump

  • 2. A risk sharing agreement to incentivise

financial institutions to partner

  • 3. An awareness and education

campaign through government and non-government channels Proposed policy interventions

Several policy interventions have been modelled to project the uptake of irrigation with SWPs over time

Source: Dalberg analysis

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)

7

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

Combined policy interventions will have an even greater impact

Source: Dalberg analysis

Cumulative uptake of SWPs under combined policy interventions (no. of HHs) 200,000 400,000 600,000 800,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,400,000 1,600,000 1,800,000 2030 2028 2026 2024 2022 2020

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)

The uptake of irrigation and SWPs will contribute to the Big 4 Agenda’s priorities in terms of food security

Source: Dalberg analysis, FAO Stat, World Bank development indicators.

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

The uptake of SWPs will also contribute to the Big 4 Agenda and to the National Water Master Plan 2030

Increase in small-holder farmers income (USD) Increase of land irrigated under combined policy interventions (Thousands of Ha) The income increase will exceed the objective of 34% increase of SHF income The land irrigated will exceed the projected land irrigated in the National Water Master Plan 7,000 2,527 3,800 673 Average income per SHF Total income per SHF after purchase of SWP Irrigation yield increase Increase of income due to the switch to higher value crop 165 803 968
