Description:
The project seeks to improve the economic well-being and reduce the vulnerability of Haitian women and men living in rural areas in Haiti’s Sud department. To achieve this, the project activities include training, outreach and participative research, as well as the introduction of innovative practices, techniques and technologies. The goal is to make production systems for mango, cashew nut and some associated vegetable crop value chains more productive, better adapted to climate change and more resistant to shocks. The project also seeks to improve existing farming, management and natural resource development practices and encourage the adoption of agro-ecological practices with a view to environmental sustainability, economic viability and climate change adaptation. Furthermore, the project is also helping to develop agricultural product processing and preparation systems that meet the quality standards required by the markets. The desired professionalization of the targeted value chains depends in part on the presence and strengthening of associations and private businesses in which women play a key role. The project supports 600 producers, particularly women and young people.
