Rural Community Project Bank

Residents in rural areas in Argentina face high levels of food insecurity and social exclusion exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The IAF supports community-led solutions to create economic opportunities in historically marginalized communities.

Red Comunidades Rurales (RCR) is partnering with grassroots groups civil society organizations and business and governmental institutions to co-design and implement an innovative community-owned resource platform.

The platform will allow rural residents to exchange financial information knowledge and learning and networking resources as well as increasing the visibility of their initiatives.

The IAF?s cooperative agreement with RCR will attract partners and resources to strengthen rural grassroots organizations promote social and economic inclusion and improve food security and the quality of life of populations in the most environmentally vulnerable regions of Argentina. This cooperative agreement is part of the IAF's broader COVID-19 response strategy.
