Farmer data exchange
Exchange agreed farmer or member records where lawful, necessary and authorized.
Institutional technologyScoped per deployment
APIs & integrations
Connect agricultural intelligence to the systems you already operate.
Where appropriate, Kilimo Afya can expose or connect agreed digital workflows so institutions can incorporate selected agricultural capabilities into their existing technology and operating environments.
Integration availability is assessed case by case. Existing systems, technical interfaces, security requirements, data permissions and implementation responsibilities are reviewed before a connector or API is committed.

Partner systems
Existing systems are assessed before any integration is agreed.
Integration layer
Data contracts, authentication and permitted workflows are scoped.
Outputs
Only agreed services and data exchanges are implemented.
Illustrative architecture only. It does not represent a claim that every connector or integration shown is already available. Technical feasibility, APIs, authentication, data exchange and responsibilities are agreed during scoping.
Who it serves
For organizations with systems already in place
API and integration work is most relevant where an institution already has a CRM, member database, farmer platform, field system or other digital infrastructure that should remain part of the operating model.
Example users
- • Agribusiness technology teams
- • Cooperatives with digital member systems
- • NGOs and programme implementers
- • Research and data platforms
- • Financial or agricultural service providers
Practical use cases
- • Connect farmer records between agreed systems
- • Request selected advisory or service workflows
- • Pass consented programme information
- • Feed agreed data into institutional dashboards
- • Reduce duplicate operational data entry
Possible capabilities
Integrate only what the workflow requires.
Integrations are designed around specific operational needs rather than assuming unrestricted access to the Kilimo Afya platform or partner systems.
Advisory workflows
Connect selected agricultural advisory capabilities to an approved institutional workflow.
Programme events
Pass agreed activities, status changes or programme events between systems.
Reporting feeds
Provide agreed outputs for institutional monitoring or reporting environments.
Authentication
Define the appropriate authentication, authorization and access approach for the integration.
Webhooks or scheduled exchange
Where supported and appropriate, define event-based or scheduled data exchange patterns.
Possible deliverables
What an integration engagement may include
- Integration specification: agreed systems, data objects, workflows and responsibilities.
- API interfaces: selected endpoints or service interfaces required for the approved use case.
- Authentication configuration: agreed access controls and credential-management approach.
- Data mapping: field definitions, validation rules and exchange formats.
- Testing & implementation support: technical validation, agreed testing and deployment support.
Scoping & implementation
What we agree before implementation
1
Systems involved
Which institutional systems and Kilimo Afya capabilities need to communicate.
2
Business workflow
What information or service needs to move between systems, and why.
3
Data permissions
The lawful basis, consent requirements and permitted data elements for the integration.
4
Technical interface
Available APIs, formats, authentication methods, limits and infrastructure constraints.
5
Ownership and support
Implementation responsibilities, monitoring, maintenance and change-management arrangements.
Integration principle
Keep existing systems where they already work.
An integration should solve a defined operational problem. It should not force an institution to replace systems that already serve its teams effectively.
01
Assess
Understand systems, interfaces and the actual workflow.
02
Define
Agree the smallest useful exchange of services and data.
03
Validate
Test the integration and operating responsibilities before scale.
Discuss an integration
Start with the workflow that needs to connect.
Show us the systems involved, what information or capability needs to move between them and who will use the resulting workflow. We can then assess technical feasibility and define an appropriate integration scope.
