Le rôle de l’évaluation environnementale stratégique dans la gestion de la vulnérabilité en Haïti

Le rôle de l’évaluation environnementale stratégique dans la gestion de la vulnérabilité en Haïti

Haïti, État de la Caraïbe, occupe le tiers occidental (27750 km2) de l’île d’Hispaniola, la deuxième plus grande île de la Caraïbe après Cuba.

The Sorghum Value Chain in Haiti: A Mapping and Analysis

The Sorghum Value Chain in Haiti: A Mapping and Analysis

Agricultural value chain development has emerged as a key methodology employed by multi- and bilateral donors, nongovernmental organizations, and research institutions to drive economic development. Value chain upgrading can result in significant economic impact in developing countries, contributing up to 30% of gross domestic product (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2013). Through a case study of the Smallholders Alliance for Sorghum in Haiti (SMASH), we examine the process of creating an “inclusive” value chain that seeks to explicitly include smallholder producers to increase incomes while establishing a sustainable sorghum value chain.
