Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10960 0700 10 20 0018
The Learning, Analytics, and Knowledge Management Support in Kenya opportunity is a discretionary U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) grant (CFDA 10.960) designed to strengthen how U.S. government food security and economic growth programs in Kenya and the wider East Africa region learn, adapt, and make decisions. The core aim is to fund ongoing applied research and analysis that produces timely, relevant, and high-quality evidence that program leaders and partners can actually use to adjust strategies and improve results in agricultural development and related economic growth efforts.
This funding opportunity is grounded in the U.S. Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS), the main framework guiding U.S. engagement with host governments, civil society, and private sector partners to tackle hunger and food insecurity. GFSS priorities highlighted in the opportunity include supporting smallholder farmers and agribusinesses, empowering women and youth, strengthening agricultural market environments, promoting research and innovation in agriculture, and investing in nutrition. In practice, the Kenya and East Africa portfolio described here spans several interconnected areas: improving agricultural market systems to address economic growth, malnutrition, and food insecurity; expanding access to economic opportunities with a strong focus on women and youth; addressing policy constraints while leveraging private sector resources for inclusive and resilient growth; taking advantage of regional and international trade opportunities; and strengthening partnerships and learning related to water security, systems, and services.
A central theme in the notice is adaptability. The programs being supported operate in environments that can change quickly due to weather and climate pressures, political developments, and shifting market conditions. Because of that, the grant emphasizes the need for responsive and timely analytics to inform decision making and enable course correction at multiple levels, including individual programs, private sector partners, communities, county governments, and multi-country regional efforts. Rather than focusing only on end-of-project evaluation, the intent is to build a strong learning and evidence function that continuously feeds practical insights back into management and implementation.
The stated objective is to strengthen knowledge management, adaptive learning, and data-driven decision making for U.S. government food security and economic growth programming in Kenya and East Africa. Applicants are expected to use mixed methodologies to collect and analyze data, generate findings, and translate those findings into clear recommendations that can be presented to decision makers. The “learning, analytics, and knowledge management” framing implies not only conducting research, but also organizing knowledge so it is findable and usable, supporting learning agendas, synthesizing evidence across activities, and improving how insights are communicated to the people making program and policy choices.
