This Training Needs Assessment was undertaken to identify and address the capacity gaps hindering the adoption and implementation of the East African Organic Products Standard in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Commissioned under the Alliance for Product Quality in Africa (AfPQA) project, implemented by GIZ and coordinated by Biovision Africa Trust, the study provides a robust, evidence-based framework to strengthen the region’s organic sector.
The assessment builds on an earlier baseline study that revealed low awareness, weak compliance systems and fragmented institutional support. Using surveys, interviews, focus group discussions, performance analysis and the Kawakita Jirō Method, the TNA examined the training needs of 48 companies drawn from the three (3) countries, capturing insights at individual, organizational and systemic levels.
