Kenya Investment Mechanism (KIM) is a five-year USAID activity that is facilitating $520 million in investment for key sectors of Kenya’s economy, including agriculture; health; WASH; energy and infrastructure; women-owned businesses; and regional trade and investment opportunities. The project supports the mobilization of private investment and accelerates enterprise-driven development.
KIM addresses two principal market failures that have discouraged investors from financing MSMEs across East Africa; insufficient quality consulting services and limited availability of financial products tailored to these sectors. KIM builds the capacity of financial institutions (FIs) and business advisory service providers (BASPs) through training and technical assistance and offers smart incentives to facilitate private finance and investment for the working capital needs of smallholder farmers and MSMEs.
Transformation of the financial ecosystem is further supported by a diverse range of sustainable partnerships—with and among strategic businesses, institutions, government counterparts and other development partners—to replicate and scale creative approaches to unlock finance and investments.
Concurrently, KIM leads policy reform efforts focused on removing barriers inhibiting large-scale investment into the target sectors, therefore unlocking further finance. The two objectives result in the project serving as an investment platform that mobilizes substantial capital from the private sector and builds partnerships between stakeholders for a more robust, sustainable, and inclusive financial ecosystem.
