International Capital Mobilization Associate Consultant

Background
KIM is a USAID funded project that is designed to unlock $520 million in investment for key sectors of Kenya’s economy, including agriculture; horticulture, dairy, and livestock (supported by Feed the Future), energy (supported by Power Africa), regional trade and investment opportunities (supported by the Prosper Africa initiative), women-owned businesses as well as in the WASH, health, and infrastructure sectors. KIM addresses constraints on both the supply and demand sides of investment transactions and is building a market system that will mobilize substantial capital from the public and private sectors. By building local partnerships among stakeholders in the financial system, KIM is stimulating the power of the private sector to accelerate Kenya’s journey to self-reliance.
KIM addresses two principal market failures that have discouraged investors from financing important segments of the targeted sectors: (i) insufficient quality consulting services (financial, transaction advisory, strategy, and business performance); and (ii) limited scalability of financial products tailored to selected key sectors of the economy in the region. KIM provides capacity building support to both business advisory service providers (BASPs) and Financial Institutions (FIs). KIM uses smart incentives to mobilize finance for development in the targeted sectors. These incentives are designed to create a sustainable ecosystem for businesses to access finance and investments needed to expand and grow. Business transactions are further supported by a diverse range of sustainable partnerships–with and among strategic businesses, institutions, government counterparts (county and national) and other development partners. These partnerships will lead to scaling and replicating creative approaches to unlock finance and investments, reduce risks of extending credit to the agriculture and energy sectors, and offer testing of innovative business models that can be scaled. The geographical scope of KIM is the East African Community (EAC, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda), as well as Ethiopia.
KIM is on track to exceed its capital mobilization targets, with $258.7M mobilized to date. However, for the long term sustainability of the project objectives, it is important to identify and entice new funds to engage in the EAC and Ethiopia.
In addition, the KIM model relies on linking BASPs with FIs and other funds to match a sound investment strategy and needs analysis with available funding. KIM provides capacity development support to BASPs through partnerships with Open Capital Advisory (OCA) and CrossBoundary. However, as KIM enters the final two project years this capacity development program needs to be structured into an approach that can be implemented following the KIM project closure.
