From Kenya With Care™: Inside the Working Paper Critique
This episode provides a focused, academically grounded critique of the working paper From Kenya With Care™: An Integrative Framework for Ethical Trade Storytelling and Cooperative Value Capture by Jermaine E. Whiteside. Designed for leaders at KNCCI, KTDA, SCAAC, and global development partners, this critique synthesizes the framework’s core arguments and evaluates its potential impact on African cooperative trade systems.
Drawing directly from the working paper’s full text and the practitioner-oriented executive summary, the episode explores how narrative economics, stakeholder theory, and communication ethics form the theoretical backbone of the FKWC™ model. Through a critical lens, the discussion highlights how the framework addresses value-capture inequities affecting Kenya’s 600,000 tea farmers and introduces the Communication Readiness System™ (CRS™)—a Lean Six Sigma–inspired system for ethical storytelling.
Listeners will gain insight into:
- Why Kenyan farmers lose value despite producing 22% of the world’s black tea
- How narrative agency shifts power in global value chains
- The role of Data Integrity Gateways, Ethical Storytelling Metrics, and Cultural Equity Audits
- How the FKWC™ framework complements, rather than replaces, Fair Trade and Rainforest certification
- The relevance of theological stewardship (1 Peter 4:10) in business ethics
- The six-year KTDA pilot plan (2026–2031) and its expected implications for premium market access
- Critical limitations, failure modes, and mitigation strategies outlined in the working paper
This critique supports KNCCI’s ongoing strategic engagement by clarifying the framework’s applicability, policy significance, and operational readiness. It also serves as an IP-controlled educational resource for decision-makers evaluating Kenya’s communication and trade competitiveness.
Ideal for:
KNCCI leadership, KTDA executives, cooperative managers, policymakers, EU compliance teams, development researchers, and stakeholders interested in ethical trade innovation.
