Program Background: The USAID Kenya Feed the Future Livestock Market Systems (LMS)
Leader with Associates (LWA) program is focused on strengthening community
resilience and overcoming poverty, household hunger and chronic undernutrition
through: expanded and viable economic opportunities; improved systems,
institutions, governance; and human capital.
The Program comprises of Leader and
Associate Awards with the objective to maximize local capacity to plan and
manage integrated resilience programming and foster collaboration with other
implementers to achieve significant and lasting social change.
The Expanding and Diversifying Viable
Economic Opportunities in Northern Kenya (AA1) project provides market-based
pull by facilitating a more competitive, commercialized livestock value chain
for pastoralists that are moving up in the livestock market system and, by
creating viable, diversified livelihoods opportunities for those that are
moving up or moving out of the sector.
The AA1 design builds vibrant market
systems in livestock and other viable industries, enabling households to
generate more income within the sector and to diversify into other income sources.
By increasing and diversifying income sources, households –with a focus on
youth and women– build resilience and create sustained pathways out of poverty.
The three objectives that comprise
the pull structure of AA1 are:
1) expanded and diversified viable
economic opportunities;
2) strengthened institutions, systems
and governance; and
3) collaborative action and learning
for market systems change.
