On Wednesday, May 22nd, 2019, the USAID Haiti Local Enterprise and Value Chain Enhancement (LEVE) project held our culmination event to celebrate the legacy and end of the project. Hosted at the Karibe Convention Center, beneficiaries from the Agribusiness, Apparel & Textile, and Construction sectors displayed their products in the LEVE “village”. Business displays ranged from designer hats created by D.O.T Haiti, breakfast cereals produced by Caribbean Food Manufacturing, grapes of Le Vieux Chardo growing in the South, and furniture produced by Fondation Vincent in the North. Products are available in a large number of stores and markets in Haiti and the US. USAID Haiti Deputy Mission Director Christian Barratt delivered the key note address. Successes of the LEVE project include over 14,000 jobs created across the three sectors and $3.00 generated for every $1.00 invested by the United States Government.

The USAID Local Enterprise and Value Chain Enhancement- LEVE Project project is coming to an end after almost five-and-a-half years of operation. LEVE provided support to more than 65 Haitian firms and organizations in the construction, agribusiness and textile and apparel sectors. This support included technical assistance, business coaching, internal capacity development and a small grants fund to assist with the acquisition of equipment and inventory. Through the eyes and in the words of the LEVE partners, discover how this USAID Haiti-funded project impacted their paths, transformed the way they operate and, with them, strengthened their value chains and sparked job creation in Haiti.
