USAID/West Africa: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Activity

The program also provided microfinance support to 1,500 farmers, enabling them to access credit and inputs. The program also reported a 30% increase in the number of small-scale farmers selling their produce to local markets. The initiative's geographic focus was on the Eastern Province, with a particular emphasis on the counties of Embu, Meru, and Meru North. The program's timeframes spanned three years, with the first year focused on implementation and the second and third years dedicated to evaluation and scaling up successful interventions. Recommendations from the midterm evaluation included increasing support for irrigation infrastructure and expanding the program's geographic scope to other regions in Kenya.
