Building leadership for the organizational and productive development of the department of Morazn

Agriculture represents one of the main sources of income for Salvadorans living in the department of Morazn.

However farmers face many challenges due to organizational weakness, difficulty accessing direct markets, lack of capital, and little support from their municipalities. Facing poverty and food insecurity, many migrate from their communities. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities for Salvadorans.

Our grantee the Asociacin de Desarrollo Econmico Local de Morazn (ADEL Morazn) strengthens the organizational capacity of vegetable and honey producers in 16 municipalities to increase and diversify the production and marketing of their products, improve farming families' livelihoods, and strengthen food security in the region.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
