The Feed the Future East Africa Market Systems Activity is designed to strengthen regional resilience in East Africa by increasing cross-border trade in select value chains and enhancing regional integration to overcome barriers to trade. The Activity builds a more interconnected and trade-intensive region that serves as a defense against the shocks that undermine livelihoods and trap vulnerable agricultural communities in cycles of poverty.

The Feed the Future Market Systems Activity collaborates closely with USAID Kenya and East Africa’s regional intergovernmental partners to catalyze transformational partnerships with the private sector and stakeholders, unlocking commercial opportunities to develop a more integrated regional economy.
