Economic development is a key thematic area of MVIWAARUSHA’s operations, aimed at strengthening the livelihoods and economic resilience of smallholder farmers through inclusive and sustainable agricultural development. The organization supports farmers to improve productivity, add value to their produce, and access reliable and fair markets through capacity building, entrepreneurship training, promotion of farmer groups and cooperatives, and linkage to financial services.
MVIWAARUSHA also promotes climate-resilient and agroecological farming practices that reduce production costs while enhancing long-term incomes. By fostering local value chains, supporting agribusiness initiatives, and encouraging market-driven solutions, MVIWAARUSHA contributes to improved household incomes, food security, and overall rural economic growth for smallholder farming communities.
