The Feed the Future Haiti Resilience and Agriculture Sector Advancement (HRASA) Activity is funded by USAID and is part of the U.S Government’s Feed the Future Initiative.
FTF HRASA is a five-year (2021-2026) project that seeks to increase individual, household, and community resilience through strengthened, well-functioning, and inclusive market systems. HRASA’s activities are centered in two Resilience Focus Zones (RFZ)—one in the North/North-East/Central Plateau region and the other in the Southern Les Cayes region—and cover a total of 33 communes.
The project has a partnership mechanism, consisting of combined grant and local sub-contract funds, which will be used to de-risk private sector investment in selected market systems to benefit smallholders’ farmers, young people, and women directly or indirectly. The objectives of HRASA are:
1. Increased market system efficiency.
A. Increase private sector investment and engagement across market systems.
B. Increased household and community ability to recover from shocks and stresses.
