ACDI/VOCA is a non-profit organization based in Washington DC that encourages and provides economic opportunities to businesses and communities, while promoting sustainable practices durable. NAFAKA is a project in Tanzania in which it is believed that by increasing the income of Tanzanian small farmers, food security will improve and by increasing access to food, malnutrition will decrease. To do this, they are working in Morogo, Dodoma and Manyara to improve the competitiveness of rice and maize in the market by improving relationships, giving rise to greater domestic and regional trade, as well as increasing awareness of the value nutrition in rural households. by encouraging women to participate in development. Strategies include “association”, which brings farmers together, leading to economies of scale and thus improving their market chances. The NAFAKA project is part of the Feed the Future initiative, supported by USAID. This is a $30 million development project specifically aimed at increasing production and incomes in the rice and maize value chains. This is a key example of how NGOs supported by government aid can successfully guide development and increase food security. The project itself as well as the NGO have no other objectives than to benefit farmers and their families. By increasing their market access and competitiveness, these farmers have a better chance of increasing their income and standard of living and, ultimately, their food security. If they are given the opportunities that ACDI/VOCA claims to offer them, they should also benefit from food security in the future, because they have received the boost they need to be able to increase the quality of their production. .... middle of paper ...... the question is whether the problem of world hunger is big enough or not. How can we convince governments to give money to NGOs that have no political motivation? How will NGOs be able to communicate with each other to create an adequate platform that can serve as a networking system? It is likely that the Internet will play a key role. Another question is who will convince governments of the importance of feeding the world rather than improving their own economies? Although it has already been clearly established that everyone can be fed, it is equally important to understand who can feed the world. Although NGOs are not generally recognized as having the capacity to tackle such an enormous challenge, it is clear from the survey that they have the right aims and objectives to do so; they just need the funding they deserve.
