The Kenya Semi-Arid Livestock Enhancement Support (K-SALES) Project is a US$ 14.5 million Food for Progress initiative funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and implemented by Land O’ Lakes International Development. Scheduled to run from September 2013 to December 2017, this four-year project is working to improve the competitiveness of the meat value chain to increase productivity and boost marketing and trade. The areas of operations are in the Feed the Future Semi-Arid 2 Counties of Kenya namely Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Machakos, Kitui, Makueni and Taita Taveta. The project’s strategic objectives are:
Objective 1: Increasing agricultural productivity

Land O’Lakes Kenya is therefore seeking proposals from qualified and experienced firms to conduct a Final Evaluation (FE). The purpose of the final evaluation is to assess the appropriateness of the project approach, effectiveness of the implementation in achieving expected results as outlined in the results framework and sustainability of the program activities and outcomes.
