Kenya Livestock Markets Activity Sustainability of Outcomes Brief

Agriculture
Written By Cate Urban

The Kenya Livestock Market Systems Activity is a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded program that is part of the Feed the Future initiative for addressing poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. The Activity is implemented by ACDI/VOCA in six counties in Northern Kenya: Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu, Turkana, and Wajir.

Our goal is to create inclusive and competitive market systems to strengthen people’s resilience to shocks and stresses and reduce the prevalence and depth of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in northern Kenya. We are achieving our goal by:

  • Expanding and diversifying viable economic opportunities

  • Strengthening institutions, systems, and governance

  • Improving human capital enabling people to become more resilient in economic engagement

  • Fostering collaborative action, and learning for market systems

This brochure highlights major outcomes identified in studies conducted by Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research for Development in Africa (MERDA) and Horn Populations Research and Development (HPRD) in 2022 and 2024 respectively.
