Abstract:
This study explored the determinants of sustainability for fish farming project initiative under the economic
stimulus programme in Kenya. The specific objectives for this study were: project strategies, implementation
process, a availability of capital and support services. A descriptive research design was used and both qualitative
and quantitative were explored in this study. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select this sample
from each stratum and data was collected using instruments which were open and closed-ended questionnaires. A
pilot test was conducted on 10% of the respondents to test the instruments for reliability and validity. Data was
analyzed with the help of SPSS version 21 To ensure sustainability of fish farming, this study recommends that only
areas with enough water resources and enough raw for the manufacture of fish feeds should be considered for fish
farming. Fish feed is the most expensive component in fish farming the world over and this study also reaffirmed
that it was among the major determinants of sustainability of fish farming. This study therefore recommends that
the national government may partner with County governments and address how to make fish feeds affordable and
readily available to farmers.
