Abstract.This study sought to analyze the determinants of vertical and horizontal integration among smallholder dairy farmers in Lower Central Kenya. Integration leads to high gross margins, influences choice of marketing channel and improves market participation, encouraging commercialization of dairy smallholder farming. A logit regression model was used to determine the likelihood of a household to integrate vertically or horizontally in its dairy enterprise. A multistage sampling technique was used, and data was collected from 288 small holder dairy farmers in Kiambu County. Processing and analysis of the survey data was carried out using SPSS version 20 and STATA version 12. Fixed investment cost, storage type, milk cost share, percentage of milk sold and dairy enterprise turnover were hypothesized to be key factors in explaining a household's likelihood to vertically integrate in its dairy enterprise. An increase in total fixed investments, turnover and volume of output contribute to the probability of a household integrating vertically. Horizontally integrated farmers were willing to pay more for market information and had higher monthly margins. The paper recommends that farmers should establish and strengthen existing associations and integrate vertically and horizontally on the basis of their spatial location and milk output.

This paper is based on a review of secondary sources from academic articles. It describes how women owned and managed cooperatives hold potentials to empower women and to transform gender relations and as a path to achieving gender-just peace goal. Peace and social well-being are embedded within the cooperative movement's core values and principles. The paper suggests how cooperatives can and do effectively promote economic and social inclusion, a factor that can enhance elimination of friction among different social groups. This is because cooperative societies bring together various classes of people regardless of their socio-economic status as their agenda would be one only-"to share ideas, suggest and implement viable practices that are likely to bring development and uplift economic and social status of members". For women the common bond would include sisterhood. The argument put forward is that cooperatives are powerful vehicles of social inclusion, political and economic empowerment of their members. The principles upon which the cooperative movement is built could harness awareness regarding the power of cooperatives particularly those owned by women in not only improving livelihoods but also making inroads by creating a conducive environment for gender -just peace. By challenging gender power relations, they hold potential to transform gender relations. The paper suggests how cooperatives can effectively prevent economic and social exclusion, a factor that can enhance friction among different social groups. The paper focuses on assessing the role of co-operative societies in empowering the women and changing the traditional powerbase in societies where they operate.
