The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) awarded a $246,000 Project Grant under the IAF Assistance for Overseas Programs (CFDA 85.750) to the Asociacion De Productores Pico Bonito De San Francisco (ASOPROPIB) in Honduras. The grant, awarded on August 2, 2024, aims to help small-scale cacao farmers in the Atlantida Department increase their income and reduce incentives for irregular migration. ASOPROPIB will assist its members in producing value-added cacao products such as butter and powder, as well as offering agrotourism services like guided tours and tastings. This is expected to generate higher and more consistent incomes for the farmers throughout the year. The project will also increase environmental awareness among the members and local school children about the nearby Pico Bonito National Park. This grant is part of the IAF's broader efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
