UPA DI - Union des producteurs agricoles - développement international

Published purpose

This project represents additional support provided by the Union des producteurs agricoles Développement international (UPA DI) Program for activities in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. The overall objective of the UPA DI program is to contribute to the development of agriculture by supporting agricultural businesses and strengthening the involvement of farmers within their organizations and in their communities. This program aims to empower farmers in Haiti, individually and collectively, to lead agricultural and rural development. As a result of this program, farmers are better able to take charge of developing their own businesses and farming organizations have an increased capacity to support their members and agricultural development. The program promotes greater awareness of international cooperation among Canada's agricultural workers and increases "farmer to farmer" cooperation. The Union des producteurs agricoles Développement international (UPA DI) is working in partnership with the Fondation pour le Développement Économique et Social (FODES-5).
