This report provides an overview of how the Kenyan aquaculture sector performs in three analytical domains: the robustness of the supply chain, the reliability of institutional governance and the resilience of the innovation system. Analysis is based on literature review, stakeholder interviews and a validation workshop guided by a SWOT framework to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The findings inform on the existing opportunities and challenges that potentially influence growth in the aquaculture sector. The report is a first step towards documenting and sharing insights that support the move towards a more Robust, Reliable and Resilient (3R) aquaculture sector. The findings and recommendations presented may guide policy engagement and action in the transition of Dutch government bilateral engagement in Kenya from development aid-support to a trade-oriented approach, with a focus on partnership opportunities to drive competitive market-oriented aquaculture sector development that attracts private investments.

Executive summaryThe 3R (Robust, Reliable and Resilient) project assists the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Kenya in the transition from aid to trade. The project investigates whether the lessons from the development aid era can be transferred and scaled up in the upcoming transition to a trade era. The overall aim of the 3R Kenya project is to enable well-informed stakeholder actions that support the transition from development aid to sustainable trade (people, planet, profit) in the aquaculture, dairy and horticulture sectors. This quick scan focuses on the aquaculture sector.The 3Rs have been defined as follows:• Robust supply chain integration refers to efficient and trusted interactions between supply chain partners that reduce transaction costs and the risks involved in enhancing product quality and safety and reinforcing sustainability.• Reliable institutional governance refers to public-private cooperation, co-innovation and a public economic policy framework that supports private investment and enhances opportunities for (inter)national trade.• Resilient innovation systems (research, extension and projects) are those with dynamic adaptive capacities that enable agents and systems to adequately respond to changing circumstances.This report covers the topic of freshwater aquaculture relating to the cultivation of fish in Kenya. The main species of study are the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)....

“…In the field of transition studies, TIS contributes with an analytical framework for understanding the complex nature of the emergence and growth of new industries and a focus on analyzing obstacles to this process (labelled blocking mechanisms, system weaknesses or systemic problems). The framework also contributes to the subsequent translation of obstacles into intervention and policy strategies, which has led to concepts such as systemic instruments and policy mixes (Alkemade et al, 2011;Jacobsson and Karltorp, 2013;Smits et al, 2010;Weber and Rohracher, 2012;Wieczorek and Hekkert, 2012).…”

This paper addresses interactions between technological innovation systems (TIS) and wider "context structures". While TIS studies have always considered various kinds of contextual influences, we suggest that the TIS framework can be further strengthened by a more elaborated conceptualization of TIS context structures and TIS-context interactions. For that purpose, we identify and discuss four especially important types of context structures: technological, sectoral, geographical and political. For each of these, we provide examples of different ways in which context structures can interact with a focal TIS and how our understanding of TIS dynamics is enhanced by considering them explicitly. Lessons for analysts are given and a research agenda is outlined.

“…Knowledge is often claimed to be the most fundamental resource in an innovation system, while learning is the most important process (Lundvall, 2007;Wieczorek & Hekkert, 2012). As innovation theory has developed, the understanding of different kinds and forms of knowledge (e.g.…”

This paper re-imagines rural transport transitions and futures in South Africa. While, rural transport transition and futures foresight studies exist these face multiple inadequacies in terms of conceptual coverage, methodological completeness and "full cycle" foresight intelligent scenario development. Making use of a gap and thematic analysis technique, existent literature on rural transport in South Africa and beyond is examined. Invariably, critical rural transport transitions are identified and their implications regarding advancement in science and technology discussed. Furthermore, employing a system of innovation and transitions theoretical framework, transport futures in South Africa are predicted. Overall, results confirm requirements for sustainable rural transport project implementation, the need for the development of appropriate and adaptive transportation technology applications in respond to the rural development planning matters in the country. In any case, the intelligent application of rural transport foresight studies is fundamental to unleashing the full potential of rural areas. The paper concludes by postulating that establishing contextually relevant and appropriate future rural mobilities in South Africa requires interventions from a intra, inter, cross and multidisciplinary and cultural approaches from all stakeholders working in the rural transportation and related areas.
