    Description:


    USAID/Kenya and East Africa (USAID/KEA)’s Office of Economic Growth and Integration is designing a new activity. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to request comments and recommendations related to the structure of this activity from private corporations, financial institutions, chambers of commerce, and other private-sector organizations, as well as implementing partners, development partners, government, and other relevant counterparts operating in Kenya.


    Approach: USAID is developing a new activity focused on accelerating ag-led growth in Kenya through partnerships with larger agricultural sector firms (such as processors and off-takers) and expansion of smallholder farmer out-grower schemes. The anticipated activity will focus on creating jobs and generating large scale increases in sales/exports in the agriculture sector cost-effectively and, ideally, through a sustainable and locally-led vehicle. The activity would combine tools used in USAID’s traditional private-sector development activities with tools used to mobilize finance and investment into one mechanism - supporting a range of agricultural firms to expand investments and operations via a blended finance approach.
