About CASHA
The Creating Shared Value in the Livestock Sector with Young People in Kenya’s ASALs (CASHA) project promotes resilient, climate-smart work opportunities through entrepreneurship in the livestock sector, targeting young women and men, including displaced persons, and persons with disability. Specifically, the project aims to enable young women and men, including displaced persons, and persons with disability to leverage livestock and related value chains to earn dignified and fulfilling incomes and improve natural resources and ecosystem through increased entrepreneurship activities as well as uptake of climate-smart productivity enhancing technologies and creating an enabling environment by addressing structural barriers that restrict young women and men from gainfully participating in the livestock sector. The project is implemented across 15 ASAL counties in Kenya, organized into four geographical clusters. CASHA operates through cluster offices strategically located within each of the four project clusters. Given the project’s implementation across 15 ASAL counties and its reliance on multiple partners, effective coordination is critical to ensure harmonized planning, timely implementation, efficient resource use, consistent reporting, and alignment of activities across counties and partners. A dedicated field-based focal person will be instrumental to coordinate ILRI’s activities on the ground, strengthen collaboration with implementing partners, and facilitate timely communication, monitoring, and problem-solving
