The Alliance for the Dry Corridor (ACS) aims to curb poverty and malnutrition through tactical investments in agriculture, nutrition and rural infrastructure. The objective is to support 50,000 families (280,858 beneficiaries) living in extreme poverty between 2014 and 2019, reduce malnutrition by 20% in the destination communities, and lay the foundations for continued growth in rural areas, through the improvement of rural infrastructure and a strengthened M&E system.
