Sustainable economic empowerment of young people strengthening their roots in Tamanique, La Libertad and San Jos Villanueva

Smallholder farmers in the department of La Libertad, El Salvador, have access to land, but unsustainable farming practices have put their families' livelihoods, health, and food security at risk. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity.

In the municipality of Tamanique, our grantee the Federacin de Cooperativas de la Reforma Agraria (Fecoracen) offers farmers training and technical assistance to strengthen the cooperatives to which they belong, support to improve key infrastructure to better guarantee the sustainability of their work, materials and supplies to diversify their production, and help with expanding their markets.This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
