The study findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between sstakeholder involvement and public policy implementation. It was established that involving stakeholders in problem identification, policy adoption and policy analysis has had a positive and significant effect on the implementation of prohibition of counterfeit agricultural inputs in NDL.
