USAID is focused on building resilience in communities within the Southeastern Kenya (SEK) counties of Kitui, Makueni, and Taita Taveta to avert a return to dependence on humanitarian assistance. Efforts aim to enhance coordination between USAID projects and local actors - including the private sector, public sector, and civil society at the county and national level - to foster sustainability.
The SEK mechanism, established in 2019, is convened and co-chaired by USAID Feed the Future and the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance in Kitui, Makueni, and Taita-Taveta. Participants in SEK include all USAID Implementing Partners operating in the three counties as well as local actors at the county and national levels.
