Feed the Future Kenya Livestock Market Systems (LMS) Activity, 2018-2024
In northern Kenya, 80 percent of the population relies on livestock keeping as their main source of livelihood. To strengthen their resilience to shocks and stresses, Feed the Future Kenya Livestock Market Systems Activity, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by ACDI/VOCA, aimed to reduce the prevalence and depth of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. The Activity supported 55,000 livestock traders in improving their household incomes by up to 40 percent.
