ACDI/VOCA

Unverified non-profit organisation

ACDI/VOCA is a merger of Agricultural Cooperative Development International and Volunteers in Overseas Cooperative Assistance, a private, nonprofit organization that promotes broad-based economic growth and the development of civil society in emerging democracies and developing countries. The organization’s programming currently revolves around value chain approaches to enterprise development, self-sustaining financial services development, farmer organization, agribusiness development, self-help community development, and food aid/ security, among other competencies. To help farmers capture a larger market share and a larger portion of the final sale price, ACDI/VOCA trains them to master crop-specific technical skills, acquire market knowledge and approach farming as a business. The organization sends hundreds of U.S. volunteer experts overseas each year on short-term assignments.
