USAID/Kenya will support policy and regulatory reform to reduce the burden of compliance, create incentives to unlock Kenyan capital for productive use, and reduce barriers to domestic and international trade. Activities will specifically promote agricultural productivity and value chain competitiveness while conserving natural resources and strengthening resilience. Critical constraints to domestic and international trade and investment will be addressed including: access to affordable finance, market linkages, improved infrastructure, and other non-tariff barriers.

Trade is central to the economic growth strategies of an increasing number of USAID bilateral partners and in its regional programs, as the map of maize trade flows from in West Africa, from USAID/Ghana’s CDCS illustrates.

Maize Trade Map

Between 1999 and 2011, USAID invested $6.3 billion or $525 million per annum on average, with a return, calculated on the basis of a lagged multi-country regression, of $42 in exports for every dollar invested. USAID’s 2016 Policy on Trade Capacity Development encourages USAID efforts that foster and facilitate trade. Bilateral CDCSs explain how USAID approaches trade facilitation and expansion challenges in all parts of the world.

For Missions that include increased trade as an IR in their approved CDCSs, the Illustrative Hierarchy of Trade Results included in this section may provide an idea for elaborating sub-IRs and developing projects that will achieve a CDCS’s trade results.
