Enforcement and Promotion of Sustainable Agricultural Practices in the Karis Community

Farmers facing harsh growing conditions in Haiti's Northeastern department can boost their revenues through more reliable agricultural practices.

At the IAF we support community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities and improve food security through sustainable smallholder agriculture.

Our grantee partner Sant pou la Kilti ak Devlpman Karis (SKDK) provides technical assistance to 800 producers through eight community-based organizations in the villages of Karis Montganize and Monben Kwochi.

SKDK's activities focus on strengthening savings and loan associations as well as four agricultural value chains: ginger coffee yams and peanuts.

Through these efforts SKDK strives to help households increase incomes and savings have a more reliable food source and further integrate into the local economy.
