\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Participatory innovation in agriculture is key in enhancing food security in sub-Sahara Africa. The collective learning community (CLC) concept entails bringing people together for shared learning, discovery and generation of knowledge. It enhances formation of networks to promote continuous interaction and communication. Farmers in Mauche Ward of Njoro Sub-County depend on rain fed agriculture which is highly vulnerable to rainfall variability and the negative effects of climate change (CC). Smallholder farmers' Strategies to Cope with CC project established: CLC comprising of farmers and other potato value chain actors to exchange knowledge and collaboratively innovate for climate change adaptation. The Net-Map toolbox was used to assess the links between actors based on exchange of information, sharing of resources and influence. This enabled the CLC to clarify roles and power relations  among the actors, and to identify weak points in the network that needed addressing. Chomosa farmers group was the centre of the project and focus of interventions on optimising the production to adapt to CC and storage of potato. The challenge was that there was no linkage between Chomosa farmers group and processors, and the share of income at the market was rather low. Currently the traders dominate the market. To negotiate with the local Njoro canning factory for potato selling, we co"=opted the area chief, who has a lot of power and influence, into our CLC committee. As a result it was possible to negotiate a better potato price. The study recommends collective action for potato marketing, contract farming and involving of local leadership in CC adaptation initiatives for sustainability.}
