John Omiti and consortium members participated in an international workshop onpromoting the development of farmer associations in Africa in order to improve delivery of farm inputs (e.g. seed, and fertilizer) and requisite services (extension and financial services) to farmers.

The meeting was jointly organized by International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) in Nairobi, Kenya. John was invited to be one of the expert reviewers to work on the papers for publication as a book.
