HPN - Third Party Monitoring (TPM)/Afya Uwazi (Kenya):  .USAID  will utilize FY 2023 funds to support third party monitoring (TPM) through the Afya Uwazi activity. The primary purpose of the Afya Uwazi TPM task order is to improve the transparency and accountability of USG-funded health commodities moving through the Kenya health supply chain. This activity will also receive HIV funding in FY 2023.In recent years, the Kenya public health supply chain, managed through the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), has faced challenges related to visibility and inventory management and struggled to demonstrate sustained improvements in performance, accountability and transparency. This independent third-party surveillance system supports end-to-end visibility of health commodities as they move through the supply chain...Building an independent evidence base through both scheduled and unannounced "last mile" visits to health facilities as well as other echelons, Afya Uwazi verifies delivery of  United States Government (USG) health commodities and assesses risks in the health supply chain...The activity will maintain a commodity surveillance system informed by the risk control framework and strategic engagement with key stakeholders. The activity will also be complemented by collaboration and networking with other supply chain and service delivery implementing partners to improve supply chain transparency and accountability. The activity reinforces the Mission's priority on promoting data visibility and accountability as well as zero tolerance to health commodity losses and the need to shift responsibility for monitoring and improving the supply chain to individual counties. These efforts will serve to build stable and capable local systems which in turn boosts U.S national security objectives as well as asserting U.S. influence and leadership in global health..

OEGI-Increasing Smallholder Farmer Productivity and Profitability (ISPP) Project (Kenya):  The USAID Increasing Smallholder Farmer Productivity and Profitability activity supports a collaborative, multi-donor approach to increase smallholder agricultural productivity and profitability for food and nutrition security in six arid and semi-arid counties of Kenya. The purpose of the activity is to achieve inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led growth; strengthen resilience among people and systems; and improve nutrition indicators among the target population. The activity's target value chains are green grams, pigeon peas, sunflowers, beans, and sorghum. The implementing partner is the Food and Agriculture Organization. USAID will use FY 2018 funds to increase the knowledge and capacity of small-scale farmers in the management and use of water for supplementary crop irrigation, enabling them to graduate from subsistence to commercial agriculture. The activity will ensure that farmers consistently supply produce to markets by addressing produce fluctuation challenges, which are a major concern for market players. In addition, the activity will provide specialized training to smallholder farmers in agribusiness and marketing to enhance access to identified market opportunities. Participating smallholder farmers with children under two years of age will improve their complementary feeding and overall household nutrition.Given that frequent droughts are a major driver of humanitarian assistance needs, this activity provides substantial assistance to target counties. Through this activity, USAID asserts U.S. leadership and influence by strengthening and elevating USAID's core capabilities to achieve greater development outcomes and leverage development investments. In addition, this activity promotes Kenya's journey towards self-reliance by linking resilience and food security with humanitarian and stabilization efforts to reduce future dependence.
