    The Request for Information (RFI) No. 72061522RFI00001, issued by USAID/Kenya and East Africa, seeks input from stakeholders on accelerating inclusive agriculture-led economic growth in Kenya, focusing on food security, job creation, and community resilience. The RFI aims to gather innovative ideas from local entities to enhance economic prospects for marginalized populations, particularly women and children, and address cross-cutting issues such as youth unemployment, water access, and climate adaptation. The document outlines the severe challenges faced by Kenya, including rising poverty levels, chronic food insecurity, and frequent climate-related shocks. These issues call for strategic local solutions aligned with Kenya's government development plans and USAID’s objectives to improve health systems, enhance resilience, and catalyze economic opportunities. Responses must be submitted by March 28, 2022, and should address specific questions on agriculture-led growth, resilience enhancement, and nutritional improvement, emphasizing local engagement and collaboration across sectors. The RFI underscores that submissions are voluntary and will help inform future solicitations but are not binding applications. Overall, this initiative underscores USAID's commitment to locally-led development as part of its broader Feed the Future Program in Kenya.
