The Association Zanmi Agrikol (AZA) and the Partenariat pour le Développement Local (PDL) recently visited the Association des Cadres pour la Protection de l’Environnement (ACAPE) as part of an exchange program aimed at boosting collaboration between local organizations. The visit was part of the “Renforcement de la production locale à travers l’adaptation basée sur les écosystèmes” project, which focuses on improving local food production and environmental sustainability. During their time on-site, participants toured ACAPE’s forest garden project, shared experiences, and discussed common challenges. The goal was to learn from each other and explore ways to work together more effectively in supporting rural communities.
The visit was an opportunity for AZA and PDL leaders, Reginald Céant and Cantave Jean-Baptiste, to see firsthand the impact of ACAPE’s work. They expressed appreciation for the dedication of ACAPE’s team and praised Executive Director Jean-Raymond Delinois for his leadership in environmental protection. Conversations centered on sustainable farming, community development, and economic empowerment, with a focus on practical solutions to help local farmers and families. The exchange also provided a platform to discuss ways to strengthen mutual support networks and create lasting change in rural areas.
Beyond strengthening organizational ties, the visit also included a special meeting with REF-APS, a women’s organization, highlighting the crucial role of women in community development and resilience. This exchange was a step toward building a stronger alliance focused on improving the lives of people in rural Haiti. By working together, AZA, PDL, and ACAPE are committed to creating a future where sustainable agriculture, economic empowerment, and environmental protection go hand in hand.
