The Kenya Maize Development Program (KMDP) is a four-year project funded by USAID whose main objective is to increase rural household incomes by increasing maize productivity and production in target areas, increasing access to agricultural markets and business support services and improving the effectiveness of smallholder organizations.

The main objective of the program is to increase the number of qualified professional women who are empowered with the skills and knowledge to advocate for female farmers so as to enhance their role in food systems. Women equipped with technical training in agricultural, environmental and social sciences are well placed to promote rapid improvements in the food systems within their communities, particularly in the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Financial Services Associations are savings-led community financial institutions similar to credit unions. This program enables individual rural communities far from population centers to establish financial services associations which enhance their economic security, creating start-up capital for income generating activities or expanding current livelihood strategies.
