Description:
The project seeks to improve the economic well-being and reduce the vulnerability of approximately 4,200 rural households in five communes of Haiti’s Grand'Anse department. Women’s economic empowerment and their enhanced access to decision-making bodies are central to the project, as are the needs and aspirations of young people. Through its strategy to promote good agricultural practices and make them more accessible, the project is working to sustainably increase value added and promote climate change adaptation and resilience in the cacao, yam, cassava and gardening value chains, as well as to strengthen four farmers’ organizations. By using the value chains approach and facilitating inclusive markets, the project helps to match supply to demand in the input, research, financial services and agricultural product markets, while fostering dialogue among the actors involved. Project activities include: (1) optimizing the Creole garden, an agroforestry production system; (2) improving technical proficiency and agricultural productivity; (3) setting up or strengthening farmers’ organizations in order to help actively develop sectors; and (4) securing improved access to better adapted financial products and services.
