USAID Kuza Activity, USAID Resilience Challenge Fund and ACDI/VOCA
In October 2020, the Impact for Northern Kenya Fund (“the Fund”) was launched to finance clients that are drivers of economic and social growth.
USAID Kuza, an activity financed by USAID’s Resilience Challenge Fund, works to develop and support economic opportunities in Northern Kenya. The activity works in 10 arid and semi-arid counties of Northern Kenya (Garissa, Isiolo, Lamu, Mandera, Marsabit, Samburu, Tana River, Turkana, Wajir and West Pokot). The goal of USAID Kuza is to improve the enabling environment for economic opportunities, accelerate public-private investment, build county-level capacity to build resilience, foster self-reliance and reduce the need for humanitarian assistance.
In October 2020, the Impact for Northern Kenya Fund (“the Fund”) was launched. The Fund is a $5 million wholesale financing vehicle that lends catalytic capital to financial institutions for on-lending to micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in agriculture, livestock and related sectors in Northern Kenya.
