Major Activities

Activity 2

Community development:in 2011, acdi/voca's community development projects continued to focus on three main areas : 1) providing vulnerable populations opportunities to engage in sustainable livelihoods activities; 2) developing programs that help communities emerging from conflict to regain the trust required for social and economic reconstruction and stabilization; and 3) assisting communities transition from illicit to licit crop production. We achieved significant success during the year through our participatory and integrated approaches. We strengthened our work with communities to benefit more than 220,000 households and provide short-term and sustainable benefits for target communities. Through our capacity building efforts, we improved the ability of local governments to provide needed services to their constituents. We completed more than 200 community and small-scale infrastructure projects in countries including bolivia, nicaragua, afghanistan and iraq, resulting in improved access to potable water, sanitation systems, and education and health facilities. In total, acdi/voca's community development teams trained more than 12,000 individuals and created more than 4,500 jobs in 2011. We continued to integrate natural resource management into programs in countries as diverse as bolivia, sierra leone, liberia and east timor. Through acdi/voca's community development activities, program beneficiaries, including women, youth, internally displace persons (idps), ethnic and religious minorities and individuals impacted by political and civil instability, are benefiting from new opportunities for economic, social and political engagement.

Activity 3

Agribusiness: : in 2011 acdi/voca's agribusiness programs provided farmers and farmer organizations in 23 countries in africa, latin america, asia and the middle east with improved technologies and skills to increase yields, minimize losses, improve quality and link to markets - all towards our goal of improving livelihoods through fostering greater competitiveness in local, regional and global markets. We identified opportunities for both smallholder and commercial-scale agribusinesses to succeed and helped them develop strong business models. Acdi/voca's agribusiness programs are achieving a sustainable increase in the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of rural households worldwide. These programs trigger a "virtuous cycle" of asset accumulation and expanded opportunities for income, health and nutrition as a growing number of commercial enterprises are motivated to provide this new consumer base with goods and services. In 2011 acdi/voca started new agribusiness programs in egypt, ecuador, indonesia, liberia, malawi, peru, tanzania and vietnam.
