Description:
The project seeks to develop value chains in the coffee- and cacao-based agroforestry systems in Haiti’s Sud department. This department is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which is exacerbating environmental degradation and having a direct impact on agricultural activities and the entire value chain. To guarantee the longevity and sustainability of agroforestry systems (“Creole gardens”), the project also seeks to improve producers’ ability to adapt to climate change, encourage the creation of skills to adapt agroforestry to climate change by ensuring training curricula are suitable, and build the governance capacity of local and departmental bodies with regard to climate change adaptation. Project activities include: (1) under the leadership of young people and women, 250 hectares of new plantations are being created and managed in an innovative, sustainable manner by over 800 families; (2) the economic empowerment and social recognition of women involved in these agroforestry sectors are being enhanced by promoting their access to strategic roles and duties; and (3) the organizational management, commercialization and marketing skills of value chain players are being improved to ensure better access to niche markets by enhancing the quality of the goods produced.
Organization:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) value-added of the targeted agri-food value chains is increased, particularly for women and youth in the targeted regions, while respecting the environment; and (2) agri-food value chains targeted by the project are better adapted to climate change.
