Kenya RAPID Performance Evaluation, 2020

The five-year $35.5 million public private partnership/Global Development Alliance (GDA) program, Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development (RAPID) was funded jointly by USAID, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), private sector partners, and Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) international Non-Government Organization (INGO) members. Coordinated by the MWA, Kenya RAPID brings together public, private and civil society institutions and communities to increase access to water and sanitation for people and water for livestock and to rebuild a healthy rangeland-management ecosystem in five ASAL counties (Turkana, Isiolo, Marsabit, Wajir, and Garissa). This performance evaluation was commissioned by the USAID/Kenya and East Africa (USAID/KEA) mission in conjunction with SDC at the end of RAPID’s fifth year. By phone or other remote media, the Evaluation Team conducted interviews with approximately 70 key informants from USAID/KEA, SDC, Government of Kenya (national level), Kenya RAPID staff, Kenya RAPID implementing partner staff, county government officials (for WASH, pastoralist support, rangeland management, health, livestock, and nutrition, among other areas), private sector partners, and utility staff. The dataset consists of the results from coding the interviews.
