MITA

Ivory Coast is home to over 3 million smallholder farmers who are important in the fight against hunger and poverty in the country. While the government has provided resources to catalyze agricultural productivity, smallholder farmers continue to face barriers - lack of access to modern agricultural knowledge, high-quality inputs and reliable markets - which affect their profitability and production capacities.

MITA was founded in 2020 and is a grassroots movement of people, stories and actions to help alleviate extreme poverty in Ivory Coast in particular and in West Africa more generally. Since 2020, MITA has helped more than 3,000 smallholder farmers break free from the vicious cycle of extreme poverty. We’re closely alongside farmers in the central and northern regions of Ivory Coast to empower them for prosperity and dignity.
