Since 1963 and in 145 countries, ACDI/VOCA has empowered people ¡n developing and transitional nations to succeed in the global economy.

Based in Washington, D.C., ACDI/VOCA is a nonprofit international development organization that delivers technical and management assistance in agribusiness, financial services, enterprise development, community development and food security to promote broad-based economic growth and vibrant civil society. 

ACDI/VOCA has approximately 76 projects in 36 countries and revenues of about $170 million.

Summary: As part of the U.S. government’s expanded Feed the Future strategy in Kenya, ACDI/VOCA is implementing a five-year, USAID-funded program to increase economic growth in the counties of Marsabit and Isiolo by building a more inclusive and competitive livestock value chain.

The REGAL-AG program builds upon and deepens the USAID investment in select areas to improve the inclusiveness and competitiveness of the livestock value chain in Isiolo and Marsabit Counties while furthering livestock-related economic opportunities. 


A key focus on the project involves facilitating behavior change ¡n actors all along the chain — from livestock keepers, to middlemen, traders, transporters, and buyers — in order to improve their economic resilience and stimulate growth.

REGAL-Accelerated Growth has established a Community Contracting Fund. This flexible contracting mechanism will provide investment in livestock-focused infrastructure in order to alleviate market constraints and benefit the local communities.

  • In consultation with the lead engineering company and ACDI/VOCA, , review and approve material samples
  • Inspect all reporting documents provided by the contractor
  • Ensure all relevant parties implement the project as it is in the project design and the technical specifications. 
  • Should there be a situation where the project design is not clear, the Construction Engineer should inform and recommend appropriate solutions to ACDI/VOCA

  • Submit weekly progress reports to the Chief of Party.
