Educational innovation is inevitable in every society. A shift from 8:4:4 to 2:6:3:3:3 (CBC) system of education is ongoing and the new curriculum is taking a centre stage. Situational analysis is a prerequisite for an effective implementation of a new curriculum. However, gaps have been exhibited that are impediments to its effective implementation. The Purpose of this paper was to assess the impact of situational analysis on implementation of CBC. The objectives were to establish the extent: to which curriculum needs assessment were done towards CBC, to which necessary interventions have been taken to address the findings of the situational analysis and to find out the effects of curriculum needs assessment on implementation of CBC. This study reviewed relevant empirical literatures whose meta- analysis was guided by the work of Ferrer (1998). The study established that situational analysis was done towards dispensation of the CBC curriculum but some gaps remained that needed to be addressed before its roll out and continuous support where necessary. This study would necessarily illuminate on policy issues concerning curriculum theory and practice in Kenya.

“…Agricultural research in the country is carried out by a variety of public research institutions for specific agricultural sectors such as fisheries, livestock and crops under the umbrella of the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation in addition to research carried out by universities in and outside the country, international research organisations, NGOs and private agricultural enterprises (Birner et al, 2009;Christoplos, 2010;Republic of Kenya, 2012a). Concerning agricultural education, Kenya recently embarked on efforts to decolonise and reform its education system and has adopted a new competency-based curriculum within elementary, secondary and tertiary levels of education that aims at aligning education to the social and economic needs and contexts of the country (Gichuru et al, 2021;M'mboga, 2021). In agriculture for instance, the curriculum introduced to Kenyan education institutions during the colonial period was meant to serve colonial interests and the new curriculum is meant to be aligned to the needs of Kenyan farmers (Gichuru et al, 2021).…”

This chapter reviews the history and current landscape of the agricultural innovation system in Kenya and how this relates to issues of social inclusion and exclusion. It employs a document analysis of historical records and key policy documents and government legislations in Kenya. I find that smallholder farmers in rural Kenya emerged as an important interest group of marginalised actors since they were excluded from state driven research, innovation, agricultural extension, and other forms of support to farmers. This group remain a significant target group for policies and practises on inclusive agricultural innovation and development. I also find that inclusive innovation can emerge as a goal aimed for by actors such as the state as a result of unplanned and unexpected events that forces these actors to react in a certain way.
