Development Centers is a USAID program being implemented by Strathmore University Business School with a mandate to\u00a0 champion both public and private-sector-led development to enable SMEs participate fully in the economy and\u00a0 create jobs.<\/p>\n<p>This will be achieved through the establishment of\u00a0 an accredited network of Kenyan Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development Centers that will be supported by the National and County Governments, Private Sector;\u00a0 Institutions of Higher Learning, Business Associations and other Not-For-Profit Organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The project takes the best practices in business development and advisory services from the U.S. Small Business Development Center (SBDC) model and transfers them to a local network of county-based business centers. This local network of centers adapts and implements the SBDC\u2019s accredited training curriculum and proven methodology for supporting small businesses. The project also builds linkages between Kenyan and American MSMEs to transfer best practices and proven models from the U.S. SBDCs to Kenya\u2019s county-based business centers.<\/p>\n<p>This helps Kenyan MSMEs more effectively take advantage of local and export market opportunities, have improved access to finance, apply market analytics, and benefit from a supportive business-enabling policy environment at the county-level. This strengthens Kenya\u2019s economic competitiveness and generates positive impacts (jobs, livelihoods, and incomes) for the Kenyan people.<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul

services from the U.S. Small Business Development Center (SBDC) model and transfers them to a local network of county-based business centers. This local network of centers adapts and implements the SBDC\u2019s accredited training curriculum and proven methodology for supporting small businesses. The project also builds linkages between Kenyan and American MSMEs to transfer best practices and proven models from the U.S. SBDCs to Kenya\u2019s county-based business centers.<\/p>\n<p>This helps Kenyan MSMEs more effectively take advantage of local and export market opportunities, have improved access to finance, apply market analytics, and benefit from a supportive business-enabling policy environment at the county-level. This strengthens Kenya\u2019s economic competitiveness and generates positive impacts (jobs, livelihoods, and incomes) for the Kenyan people.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-a0cb24b1eb623b30b41\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-a0cb24b1eb623b30b41\" href=\"#tab-a0cb24b1eb623b30b41\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-list-alt fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:16px;\"><\/i>Services<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-a0cb24b1eb623b30b41\" id=\"tab-a0cb24b1eb623b30b41\">\n<h2>Activities<\/h2>\n<p>The centers provide the following services:<br \/>\n\u25cf <strong>Consulting:<\/strong> Structuring production and pricing of various value chains, business operations and planning.<br \/>\n\u25cf <strong>Training:<\/strong> Focusing on export market readiness, business governance and management, and sustainable business operations and planning.<br \/>\n\u25cf <strong>Advisory on Business Development:<\/strong> Accessing finance, business planning, technology development, regulatory compliance, marketing, and international trade; and<br \/>\n<strong>\u25cf Policy Research and Market Intelligence:<\/strong> Focusing on consumer market insights, export market trends and policy briefs.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-46751da22e6c4981088\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-46751da22e6c4981088\" href=\"#tab-46751da22e6c4981088\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-map-marked-alt fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:16px;\"><\/i>Where we Work<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-46751da22e6c4981088\" id=\"tab-46751da22e6c4981088\">\n<h2>Activity Locations<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-22742\" src=\"https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"909\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27909%27%20height%3D%27720%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20909%20720%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27909%27%20height%3D%27720%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-200x158.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-400x317.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-600x475.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-768x608.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map-800x634.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sbs.strathmore.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ksbdc-map.jpg 909w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>NAIROBI: coordination &#8211; Coordination, management and supervision of the 6 counties hosting the small business development centers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISIOLO:\u00a0<\/strong><em>better public management\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 With one of the highest county budget absorption rates (80%) of all counties, Isiolo is located in the arid North and on the gateway to northern Kenya.
