This study aims to first of all establish baseline data for the Climate-Resilient Aquaculture Systems for Africa project, which focuses on enhancing aquatic food systems in Kenya. As a repeated cross-sectional study, this will be followed by midline and endline studies. Conducted in five counties— Homabay, Busia, Kakamega, Migori, and Kisii—the study employs a mixed-method design using purposive and three-stage sampling approaches. The study will select 65 key informants and focus groups and 2000 survey respondents across the aquaculture value chains. Through structured survey questionnaires and semi-structured interview guides, the study will gather comprehensive baseline data on socio-economic conditions, postharvest technologies, financing, livelihood characteristics challenges and opportunities within the aquaculture value chains. The collected information will provide a critical reference for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the CASA project activities and will inform evidence-based policy and management strategies in the Kenya aquaculture sector.
