Recognizing this, the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO), through the Kenya Catalytic Jobs Fund (KCJF) undertook to support innovative business models with a high potential to positively disrupt markets, create employment opportunities and deliver pro-poor impact. The programme takes the form of a challenge fund, with calls for proposals to select and support the best innovations, through a mix of grants and tailored technical assistance. For more than two years, the fund has supported a number of local companies to implement innovative solutions that have improved their operational efficiencies, increased productivity, strengthened supply and demand connectivity and widened opportunities for work along the respective supply\/value chains. \n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c82e6d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c82e6d6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27f6dfe\" data-id=\"27f6dfe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68c2af0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"68c2af0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"AW-Form-551942408\"><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function(d, s, id) {\n    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n    js.src = \"\/\/forms.aweber.com\/form\/08\/551942408.js\";\n    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, \"script\", \"aweber-wjs-u02hi137l\"));\n<\/script>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Private sector growth has the potential to create jobs, raise incomes, and lift people out of poverty.
