The Kenya Value Chain Finance Centre is a collaboration between USAID’s Kenya Access to Rural Finance (KARF) programme and FSD Kenya. It supports value chain financing<br />

through the financial system by identifying market opportunities and working with a range of providers to develop appropriate new products and services.<br />

This report was commissioned by FSD Kenya. The findings, interpretations and conclusions are those of the<br />

FSD Kenya<br />

Financial Sector Deepening<br />

The Kenya Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) programme was established in early 2005 to support the development of financial markets<br />

in Kenya as a means to stimulate wealth creation and reduce poverty. Working in partnership with the financial services industry, the<br />

programme’s goal is to expand access to financial services among lower income households and smaller enterprises. It operates as an<br />

independent trust under the supervision of professional trustees, KPMG Kenya, with policy guidance from a Programme <strong>In</strong>vestment<br />

Committee (PIC). <strong>In</strong> addition to the Government of Kenya, funders include the UK’s Department for <strong>In</strong>ternational Development (DFID),<br />

the World Bank, the Swedish <strong>In</strong>ternational Development Agency (SIDA), Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the Bill and<br />

Melinda Gates Foundation.
