F.a: Strengthening women’s autonomy in Macaya
US$ millions unless stated. Haitian fiscal year, October to September. FY2026-27 began October 1, 2026.
Description
The situation of women is fragile in Haiti. The power imbalance between men and women is significantly broad, and women are both socially and economically vulnerable. The project aims at increasing the autonomy of women in rural Haitian communities through strengthening their economic opportunities and participation in decision-making. This kind of empowerment requires building women’s basic capacities such as literacy, organisational and leadership skills as well as their awareness on human rights, parti cularly women’s rights and sexual and reproductive rights. Simultaneously, their economic and livelihoods skills are strengthened, in order to both increase their revenues and strengthen the valorisation of their work and role in the communities.The over all objective of the project is to empower women in Macaya

The total female population in the intervention area is roughly 1,800. Most of the women in the project area have no basic education and are illiterate. Their vulnerability and poverty is linked to not having access to resources and basic services (education, health, food, justice etc.). They undertake small trade activities (selling matches, sweets etc.), and production and sales of agricultural products (garden produce and spices). FCA’s direct partner at national level is the Lutheran World Federation/Dep artment of World Service (LWF/DWS) Haiti. LWF/DWS supports FCA in project monitoring activities and in strengthening the local implementing partner, Fondation de Nouvelle Grand Anse (FNGA).
