In 2021, an estimated 700 million people were living in extreme poverty. These people lack access to decent work and basic services and experience severe food insecurity.
We improve their perspective by strengthening food systems. We do this by supporting smallholder farmers to produce sufficient and nutritious food. We also invest in inclusive value chains and economic growth, by supporting small and medium enterprises to grow and create employment opportunities.
Responsible Business
Led by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Cordaid supports companies and their suppliers to become responsible corporate actors by ensuring decent work, living wages and environmental protection.
We also hold governments to account for their role in the field of responsible business, be it legislation, policy development or other stimulating measures.
