Belgian Survival Fund
The Belgian Survival Fund was created in 1999 as a continuation of the ‘Survival Fund Third World Countries’ of 1983, to finance programs of food security and integrated rural development in Sub-Sahara Africa.
As such the programs of the Belgian Survival Fund are all characterized by an integrated approach between the following aspects:
- improved production and productivity
- improved availability of basic products
- raise family income through diversification of production
- promotion of small scale enterprises
- improved access to rural finance
- improved food-security through food-stocks in hunger-gap periods and irrigation
- integration of basic health and nutritional education
