New Project Won–Bolivia Rural Capacity Building Activity

ACDI/VOCA, through its VOCA Foundation, has won a $170,000 Rural Capacity Building Activity project in Bolivia. The foundation will provide the services of a local consultant and up to 12 volunteers in order to help develop and launch capacity-building services to small businesses and producers in rural areas. Under this grant, the VOCA Foundation will hire a local consultant to identify local partnerships, survey needs for collaboration and technical assistance and coordinate the resulting volunteer assignments. ACDI/VOCA will provide volunteers who are experts in business, market analysis, marketing and agricultural production, based on scopes of work developed by the consultant.
