Major Activities

Activity 2

In 2008 ACDI/VOCA's community development activities achieved a broad range of successes thanks largley to our participatory and integrated approaches. We stregnthened our work with local governments and the private sector to leverage additional funds and ensure project sustainability. This allowed us to complete more than 420 infrastructure projects from Bolivia to Iraq, resulting in improved access to potable water, sanitation systems, and education and health facilities, and enabling community-based economic development. We also incorporated sustainable natural resource management into many of our community development programs, such as those in Liberia and Bolivia, and added new tools to work with marginalized groups in conflict-sensitive areas. ACDI/VOCA trained more than 20,000 community members in multiple countries and created over 15,000 jobs. As a result, program beneficiaries, including women, youth, ethnic and religious minorities, refugees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), are benefiting from new opportunities for economic, social and political engagement.

Activity 3

In 2008 ACDI/VOCA's enterprise development projects worked with clients ranging from vulnerable households to large international corporations. We created employment, raised incomes, stimulated private sector investment and increased industry competitiveness in Africa, Asia, South America, the Middle East and Europe. In Liberia we applied our signature approach to improving the well-being of vulnerable children by raising the economic status of their families. The trust we have gradually built between private sector businesses and rural communities has helped strengthen the nation's agriculture sector and encourage investment in education.
