The US Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Appui à la Valorisation du Potentiel Agricole du Nord, à la Sécurité Économique et Environnementale program (AVANSE) is a five-year, $87.8 million project designed to catalyze inclusive, sustainable economic growth in a potentially highly productive agricultural area. The program is based in Haiti’s Northern Corridor / Cap-Haïtien and works to increase agricultural incomes.

Capacity building is a conceptual approach to development that focuses on understanding the obstacles that inhibit people, governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations from realizing their developmental goals while enhancing the abilities that will allow them to achieve measurable and sustainable results.
USAID is committed to building the capacity of local partners to sustain development progress beyond the period of U.S. support. Worldwide, USAID aims to strengthen the ability of governments, private sector entities, nongovernmental organizations, and other civil society institutions to implement programs effectively, while increasingly enabling organizations to implement programs by themselves. This is a key component of USAID Forward’s implementation and procurement reform objectives, which aim to change businesses processes in order to create conditions where aid is no longer necessary in the countries where USAID is working.
