***** (***** | *****)The Association for Agricultural Community Development and Diversification (ADDAC) is a non-profit NGO, founded in 1989 whose mission is to improve the living standard of poor rural families engaged in small/medium scale farming in marginal areas to the north of Nicaragua. The main purpose of the ADDAC's approach is to develop and strengthen local capacity to analyse problems and find solutions for rural sustainable development. There are five main components
- Food security and productive development, including technological improvement and diversification within traditional crop cultivation and extension of alternative agricultural land use practices
- support to farmer's organisation
- Promotion of gender equality
- Identification of alternatives in marketing and
- Provision of an alternative credit system for farming.
These fields of activities are based on the principles of organic agriculture and a powerful training process - using the methodology of 'popular education' which involves participatory training and extension activities.
ADDAC initiates it work in communities through PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) - evaluating problems and potential solutions.
