The Feed the Future East Africa Market Systems (EAMS) Task Order
Information Management PROJECTS
USAID's Regional Integration and Stronger Economics (RISE) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanism is designed to increase cross-border trade in select product value chains and enhance regional economic integration to overcome barriers to trade and strengthen the region’s ability to absorb, adapt, recover and transform in times of shocks and stress. Under this IDIQ, Palladium (Kimetrica’s prime) is carrying out the East Africa Market Systems (EAMS) Task Order (TO) to achieve an increase in intra-regional trade, create new cross-border partnerships or market linkages, add investment for regional trade finance and commercialize new agricultural technologies. As a subcontractor to Palladium on the EAMS TO, Kimetrica is developing data-driven maps and visualizations to support trade flow analysis in the region, as well as developing resilience monitoring tools that build on existing technologies using state-of-the-art data mining and machine-learning techniques. To further define surveillance needs, Kimetrica will engage with stakeholders and collaborate with institutional partners in the region.

Pastoralists Areas Resilience Improvement and Market Expansion (PRIME)
Information Management PROJECTS
PRIME’s overall goal was to reduce hunger and poverty among Ethiopia’s pastoral communities by increasing household incomes and enhancing resilience to climate change through links to thhe market. Project implementation was based on the interaction between climate change, pastoralism, livestock and chronic vulnerability. Working at different levels and through different approaches, PRIME fostered the growth of livestock value chains, providing value chain support to the chronically food insecure and improving the policy environment through learning and collaboration with the Government of Ethiopia and non-governmental counterparts. Kimetrica managed PRIME’s monitoring, and evaluation and knowledge management systems, through its advanced, web-based M&E software, ki-projectsTM, and through the use of tablets for field data collection. In addition, Kimetrica provided research support that ranged from examining the impact of livestock disease on income and land use management, to analysing the costs and benefits of different program interventions. Improved analytical methods for beneficiary targeting and innovative methods to solicit beneficiary feedback helped the project achieve better results.
