Project Description
Farmers in Grand-Goave in Haiti’s West department lack sustainable revenue and reliable agricultural inputs. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities through sustainable agriculture. Our grantee partner, Comité PROTOS Haïti (CPH), provides technical assistance to producers from seven community-based organizations to improve agricultural production and increase incomes. CPH’s activities enhance food security in rural areas, build solidarity, and improve access to capital through savings and loan associations.
