One of SWITCH Africa Green's project in Kenya is focused around the local agriculture sector and aims to increase Kenyan businesses' capacity to adopt sustainable practices and campaign for a greener business climate by introducing resource-efficient and environmentally friendly green economy initiatives. The project has been successful in reducing the usage of energy and water along with improving waste management for the participating enterprises. The initiative has also contributed to generating more revenue for the these businesses next to creating new job opportunities.

Low start-up funding, a low level of technology, and skill investment, low income generation, imitation culture, and low survival rates, as well as restricted access to and/or saturated markets, inadequate preparation, and inadequate access to sufficient tailor-made business development services, are all limiting factors for businesses in Kenya. In addition to these factors, a lack of proper understanding of green economy concepts and skills holds back possible development and growth of sustainable businesses in the country.

The project initiated under SWITCH Africa Green program aimed to strengthen Kenyan businesses' ability to achieve success for green growth through providing training and adequate expertise and knowledge. More specifically, the organization provided targeted technical assistance and taught skills necessary for a green business operation and resource efficiency with a special focus on the agricultural sector.

The project enabled 15 organizations in Kenya to benefit from learning knowledge and skills related to having a sustainable agricultural business. The result show that the participants' electricity usage was decreased by 24% by implementing simple energy-saving measures such as using energy-efficient appliances, proper machinery maintenance, simplifying manufacturing processes, retrofitting equipment, and eliminating idle time on machinery. They also reported a cut on their water consumption by 48% through implementing basic water conservation measures such as installing meters in buildings, fixing broken pipes, and streamlining process flows. The businesses improved their waste management, reducing waste created by 33% on average. As a result, the cost of disposal was significantly reduced in terms of transportation, labor, and hours spent. Lastly, the businesses have also reported to have 45% increase in revenue on average, and have created 125 direct and 725 indirect jobs.
