Published purpose

This project aims to improve household and community livelihoods for over 12,000 women, men, and children in the earthquake-affected communities of Fon Batis and Délis. The project includes establishing a crop storage silo (with a capaciy to store 50 tonnes of seeds and enough space to store tools and other equipment) for each of six existing farming cooperatives and a tool storage and office building for an existing agricultural tool cooperative. It also includes distributing seeds and other agricultural inputs, such as tools and fertilizer, to farmers and providing them with training in management and business techniques. Finally, the project provides resources (food and other materials) to the members of farming cooperatives in the region, to counter the shortages caused by the influx of displaced persons following the 2010 earthquake. HOPE International Development Agency and the Foundation for International Development Assistance (FIDA) are working in partnership with FIDA’s working arm in Haiti, productive cooperatives Haiti (pcH) to implement this project.
