Dear Potential Offeror,
SoCha LLC is pleased to announce this Request for Proposals (RFQ) under its Localization, Inclusion, and Sustainability Activity (LISA)RFP NO. 009/2024 – Kilifi County Support Investment Firm.
SoCha (a portmanteau of Social and Change) is an independent Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) firm that provides bespoke solutions to social challenges. We are a US-registered, veteran-owned small business headquartered in Mauritius. SoCha supports foreign assistance interventions across Africa and Asia and specializes in advancing innovative methodologies and changing the way donors find solutions to social problems. In the last decade, we have delivered 50 contracts to 17 clients in 32 countries that address global health, economic growth, agriculture and trade, education, biodiversity, climate change, urban programs, women in development, youth, and collaborative partnerships.
SoCha holds a prime contract with the USAID/Kenya and East Africa (KEA) Mission to implement the USAID Localization, Inclusion, and Sustainability Activity (LISA). SoCha works with the Mission and helps its staff, partners, and stakeholders be more efficient, effective, transparent, inclusive, and skilled in achieving development outcomes.
USAID is seeking the support of SoCha/LISA to hire a consultant to develop an investment opportunities handbook for Kilifi County to attract investors. The county has identified several promising opportunities and requires a consultant to conduct further research and create a comprehensive investment handbook. This handbook will detail each opportunity and serve as a crucial resource for the county’s resource mobilization and partnership-building efforts, especially for the upcoming Kilifi County Investment Conference in November 2024 and beyond.
Kilifi County is on the brink of substantial economic growth across key sectors, including the Blue Economy, Agriculture, Trade and Investment, Tourism, Health, Education and ICT, and Environment. To harness this potential, the County Government of Kilifi, through its Department of Trade, Tourism Promotion, and Co-operative Development, in collaboration with other government agencies and key stakeholders, is organizing the Kilifi County Investment Conference in November 2024.
The conference aims to attract over 200 potential investors and more than 2,000 delegates from various governmental and private sector backgrounds, both local and international. The primary objectives are to showcase Kilifi’s investment potential, foster strategic partnerships, and mobilize resources to drive economic recovery and development.
USAID/KEA Office of Economic Growth and Integration seeks LISA’s support for the research and development of a Kilifi County Investment Handbook, which details why Kilifi County is a strategic location for business investments and detailed investment opportunities.
