This grant, the Rural Value Chains Project (RVCP), is dedicated to enhancing food security and improving nutritional outcomes for families in rural areas. Its primary objective is to broaden household access to food by fostering economic growth within rural communities. This is achieved through strategic initiatives aimed at expanding and diversifying rural income sources. The program seeks to empower families by creating more robust and varied value chains, thereby not only increasing their financial stability but also directly contributing to improved dietary practices and overall nutritional well-being. This funding opportunity supports projects that build sustainable economic foundations in rural settings, leading to better food accessibility and healthier populations.
