In Liberia, USAID and the Africa Trade and Investment (ATI) Program created the Liberia Agribusiness Incubator to support local job creation, trade and investment. To increase locally led development, USAID/ATI made an intentional effort to reach rural communities to help identify barriers for participation and ways to overcome those barriers. A subsequent outreach campaign, including road shows, radio jingles and media messages, was designed and tailored to local community needs, thus increasing local engagement in the program.
In Guatemala, the Innovative Solutions for Agricultural Value Chains Project is implemented by a local entity, Agropecuaria Popoyán, S.A. The objective of the project is to reduce poverty and chronic malnutrition in Guatemala’s Western Highlands by providing new economic opportunities that improve the livelihoods and resilience for small-scale farmers and their families to reduce irregular migration.
