Thematic evaluation of Kenya’s job-creation programmes

Closed: The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) invited tenders by 7 February 2024 to evaluate job-creation programmes in Kenya.

This call for proposals closed on 7 February 2024.

The purpose of this evaluation is to improve understanding of the relative costs and benefits of different programmatic approaches to job creation in Kenya. This will inform future interventions and support implemented by British High Commission Nairobi and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

This evaluation will assess a portfolio of development aid programmes which focus on job creation in Kenya. The intervention areas are diverse, applying different approaches and collaborations to reduce barriers to growth in Kenya.

The main sectors of focus in the current portfolio include:

  • urbanisation
  • finance
  • manufacturing
  • trade, investment and business innovation
  • cross-cutting theme on resilience and climate change to shape clean, green growth

What the fund will achieve

The evaluation will directly inform activities under current programmes, shape the design of future programmes, and provide evidence for FCDO and the wider sector.

It links to both country and global HM Government strategy, aligning to the Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 8), the UK Strategy on International Development, the Africa Strategy, and the Kenya Country Business Plan.
