ACDI/VOCA is a nonprofit global development implementer. Since 1963, we've worked with sponsors & beneficiaries to design solutions to reach broad audiences.
A decade after we started working together, farmers in 25 de Setembro, #Mozambique, are still growing peri-peri chilies for Nando’s. 🌶️ Congratulations to @NandosSA and the farmers who built this business! Long-term partnership = lasting impact.
Sometimes you have an experience so meaningful & rewarding that it inspires you to do more. Miguel Ahumada, a horticulture specialist, has volunteered with us in 3 countries over the years. Read his story below.

Success should be measured by more than the amount of funding mobilized.
Does that funding help businesses invest, expand opportunities for underserved communities, and sustain results after project funding ends?
We see an opportunity to strengthen collaboration among donors, philanthropies, investors, and local businesses, aligning resources with locally identified opportunities and sustainable business models.
4,500+ more producers in western #Honduras will soon gain technical support, climate-smart tools, financing, & market access through SAG-ProOccidente, becoming part of the 10,000 producers supported. In Sept., our team met to plan effective implementation of a US$17M investment.
This #WorldFoodDay, we’re celebrating farmers like Brayan Maquenci, who once planned to migrate but chose to stay and build a future in #Honduras with support from SAG-ProOccidente.🍅12,000 lbs of tomatoes later...Watch his story: https://t.co/K0MSfWbnfb
