Canadian Hunger Foundation

Published purpose

The CHF (formerly the Canadian Hunger Foundation) Partnership for Food Security Phase II project seeks to build on an earlier phase, conceived both in response to Ethiopia’s food crisis, and as a first step in a longer-term relief-to-development initiative. This project, building on the solid foundation established previously, aims to contribute to new and innovative relief-to-development programming in a manner consistent with the priorities articulated by the Government of Ethiopia and by CIDA. The Partnership for Food Security, operating within the Bati woreda (district) in the Amhara region, is working to improve the situation of chronic food insecurity by strengthening agricultural productivity and management, conserving natural resources, diversifying income-generating activities, and improving disaster prevention and management capacity. All CIDA disbursements for this project have been completed.
