The Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) is a government credit institution established in 1963 that serves as Kenya's leading development finance institution focused on agriculture. Its primary mission is to provide sustainable financing through credit and non-financial interventions to develop the agricultural sector.
AFC offers affordable credit solutions through participative and collaborative approaches, incorporating innovations, technology, and specialized financial products. The institution has achieved significant impact metrics including over 5 billion in financial inclusion, 13,000+ credit provisions, 590,000 employment opportunities created, 17 billion+ in credit access, 61 billion in wealth creation, and 14% contribution to food security.
Recently, AFC received the Sustainability Standards and Certification Initiative (SSCI) Certification, making it the first institution in Kenya to achieve this recognition for green and inclusive finance. This certification positions AFC as a pioneer in aligning agricultural financing with global sustainability standards and supporting Kenya's transition to a climate-resilient economy.
