    Description:

    The primary purpose of this activity is to increase the prosperity and resilience of rural communities in the Verapaces by providing market-based economic opportunities to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their families and reduce irregular migration. To achieve this, the activity will be rooted in four objectives: 1) improving smallholder productivity of new existing crops; 2) expanding and strengthening market access; 3) strengthening climate resilience to shocks and stressors; and 4) increasing adoption of nutrition and hygiene practices. This activity will be implemented primarily with Feed the Future funding.
