a legacy of global impact

ACDI/VOCA is a global nonprofit development design and delivery partner based in Washington, D.C. We have implemented effective economic and social development projects since 1963. We address issues of food security, economic prosperity, and social engagement by facilitating the creation of durable, locally driven market, food, and social systems in communities around the world.

The systems we design and implement result in:

Thriving Economies

We connect people with businesses to create jobs
and strengthen economic market systems.

Fair societies

We support social systems that engage, benefit, and empower all members: women and men, youth and adults, and rural as well as urban families.

Resilient Communities

We help communities build resilience to conflict,
extreme weather, and other shocks and stresses.

Sustainable Food Systems

We enhance food security among poor
and vulnerable populations.
