CNFA believes in the power of its volunteers to make lasting change and places them in organizations where their ability to make a difference is strongest.

To maximize volunteer impact, CNFA has done extensive analysis to identify 2-3 commodity categories in each country. These commodities were chosen because they have a high potential for strengthening the economy of the region.

CNFA takes a value-chain driven approach, assessing the weak links in the flow of these crops all the way from production, through processing, marketing and distribution, and in services that feed into that chain, such as inputs dealers and agricultural lenders.

Host organizations are chosen because of their potential to strengthen these gaps and include producer groups, lending organizations, agribusiness and others.

Projects range from training associated service providers and agribusinesses in financial management, marketing, cooperative development, agricultural production, post-harvest and processing technologies, international quality standards and rural finance.

“FFS is an adult education program that utilizes discovery learning and participatory techniques”.
