Guatemala programs / Guatemala project 520042501 · 1997 · economic opportunity
Intermediate results package to increase the income of Guatemala's rural poor. The package, one of three components of USAID's Poverty Reduction Strategy for 1997-2001, comprises activities in four areas, as noted below. (1) An umbrella NGO will encourage selected financial intermediaries, private banks, and BANRURAL to strengthen institutional access to financial services, training, and TA to microenterprises, especially those run by women, in selected areas. Funds for credit will be provided by the Government of Guatemala (GOG), not USAID. (2) To improve sustainable agricultural practices, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food's (MAGA) Private TA Unit (PTA) will establish links to the 158 organizations nationwide that provide service, credit, or market programs on a fee for service basis. GOG funds will be used to finance extension services for farmers who cannot afford them. Other activities may include support for: agricultural research and plant protection and quarantine (through USAID's Trade and Labor Relations Project); a rural production information system (through AGEXPRONT); and community- based, small-scale income generating activities through the Peace Corps.
