SUBJECT: KENYA: FY 2005 AMBASSADOR'S SELF-HELP FUND
ANNUAL REPORT
REF: NAIROBI 3331
¶1. Summary: The 16 FY-05 projects (with a total budget of
$92,000) supported most recently through Kenya's
Ambassador's Self-Help Fund have begun their funded
activities. A summary of Kenya's Self-Help program and
progress to date are contained herein. End summary.
OVERVIEW
--------
¶2. As outline in reftel, in FY 2005, Self-Help Kenya
received and obligated $92,000, awarding grants to sixteen
(16) projects. Coordinators received and reviewed over
1,000 applications and proposals requesting assistance
during this funding cycle. From them, Coordinators
selected ninety (90) groups and projects for site visits.
The inter-agency Self-Help Advisory Committee reviewed the
twenty-one (21) strongest groups and projects and
recommended sixteen (16) for the Ambassador's review and
final approval.
¶3. A statistical analysis of those projects follows:
Geographic Distribution:
Central Province - 4 (25%): 1 Kiambu District
1 Kirinyaga District
1 Nyeri District
1 Thika District
Coast Province - 1 (6%): 1 Taita-Taveta District
Eastern Province - 4 (25%): 2 Machakos District
1 Makueni District
1 Meru Central District
Nyanza Province - 3 (19%): 1 Kisii District
1 Migori District
1 Siaya District
Rift Valley Province - 1 (6%) 1 Kajiado District
Western - 3 (19%): 1 Bungoma District
1 Kakamega District
1 Teso District
Two provinces, Nairobi and North Eastern, were not
represented within the FY 2005 grantees. For logistic and
security reasons, North Eastern is a difficult area to do
the necessary project assessments and follow-up, but we
still hope to receive more quality proposals from this area
in the future.
Project Types: Health 2
Income Generating 5*
Library/Voc. Training 1
Vocational Training 4*
Water 5
*Nyeri Deaf Self-Help Group has elements of both Income
Generation and Vocational Training.
Grant Range: Smallest - $ 3,000
Largest - $10,000
Mean - $ 5,750
Median - $ 5,500
FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND UNLIQUIDATED BALANCES
--------------------------------------------- -
¶4. Financial procedures followed by Self-Help/Kenya
require grantees to submit pro-forma invoices for approved
expenditures; SSH/KE then requests checks from USAID/Kenya.
When checks become available grantee(s) and vendor(s) are
notified to collect/deliver the funded goods. Grantees
must submit signed delivery notes, final invoices, and
witnessed delivery documents to SSH/KE before checks are
released to vendors, at which point those funds are
liquidated. To date, we have submitted pro-forma funding
requests totaling approximately $49,788.64 (almost half of
our FY-05 allocation), of which $10,711.30 has been
liquidated.
SPECIAL INITIATIVE IN 2005
--------------------------
¶5. In this past year Self-Help/Kenya created a set of
databases for the tracking, storage, and control of
information, including requests for information and
application forms, final applicants supplemental
information, and status updates of funded projects. These
comprehensive, in-house, Access databases fuel all project
reporting from Embassy Nairobi's SSH office and are the
data link to nearly all correspondence and status updates
to applicants. This office now writes its Individual
Activity Agreements (IAAs) by merging select data into its
grant agreement template. With the foundation supplied by
the databases, the Self-Help Office's work products are
easier to produce and have taken on a more professional
appearance.
¶6. SSH/Kenya has also created and maintains a "Watch List"
database used by 16 other donor organizations that comprise
the Small Projects Funds' Donor Roundtable. This database
permits the Roundtable members to share information
concerning fraudulent and duplicated project requests,
questionable managers, and crooked vendors.

expertise of this community health center and will be
useful within its operations.
¶10. Group/Project Funded: CADA Self Help Group (Community
Accelerated Development Agency)
IAA No.: 698-9901.15-05-003

community from lessons on nutrition and access to
inexpensive baked products.
United Sates Contribution: $3,500.00
These funds are intended for the purchase of equipment for

measuring and mixing units, gumboots, dust coats, scales,
bread crates/baskets, display shelves, and items for use in
nutrition demonstrations such as flasks, mugs, kerosine

Community Contribution: tables and stools and/or benches,

members' labor to manage bakery operations and perform
nutrition demonstrations and site visits, security for

the group is having some internal management problems and
my not, at this time, be ready to expand its operation.
The Self-Help Office is coordinating with the District
Social Development Officer to determine the true nature of
the situation and if there can be an effective solution to
get the project back on track within the grant's timeframe.
In the meantime, we are holding the group's pro-forma
invoice and will not request a check until we are satisfied
that the project remains viable.
