Abstract: The purpose of this study is to establish the extent to which capacity planning influences the performance of climate smart agriculture projects in Laikipia County. Globally, food crisis and malnutrition have been on the rise. Hence, pursuit of the second Sustainable Development Goal: Zero hunger, which should be achieved in tandem with other related goals for food security, a healthy population and ecology. Mixed method approach was employed to study two World Bank-sponsored Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture projects namely, Kariunga-Mutirithia-Naibor Dam Project and Ndathimi Dam project with 300 and 212 small-scale farmers respectively. The respondents’ opinion on capacity planning had a composite mean and standard deviation of 2.88 and 1.219 respectively. Capacity planning and the performance of climate smart agricultural projects had a strong correlation coefficient of r=0.644 and p-value p=0.000
