Political organization of sector entities as a path to transformation

Between October 16th and 19th, Rede Comuá participated in the 2024 Inter-American Foundation (IAF) Grantee Meeting, held in Olinda, Pernambuco. Initially scheduled for 2020, the meeting was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, when we were slowly returning to (supposed) normality, an online meeting was held. It was only in 2023, after three years of waiting, that a new in-person meeting was possible.

Community aspects: the financier’s approach in relation to the grantee’s counterpart

By Marcy Kelley, Gabriela Boyer and Rebecca Nelson

Valuing and accounting for contributions from community groups can pay dividends in terms of impact and sustainability

Haiti has proven to be difficult terrain for international financiers, with many failed development projects. However, in 2018, women from a community organization in Fanm Konba in southwestern Haiti demonstrated remarkable ingenuity in raising their own resources. They requested financing from a grantee of the Inter-American Foundation (IAF) to purchase cattle. Following IAF guidance, the women included their 'counterpart' – a budget item that takes into account the labor and other material assets that community groups contribute to proposed activities. Later, IAF officials discovered that they were actually contributing an additional US$35 from their own pockets to purchase pregnant sows and goats to expand their herds and maximize their profits.
