Interventions

Support to Able-Bodied Vulnerable groups to Achieve Food Security (SAFE)other

The SAFE program was developed \& implemented from Jan. 2008-Dec. 2010 by CARE-Malawi, a country office of CARE International, a large NGO. SAFE participants were selected by CARE-Malawi. SAFE was designed to address intertwined structural issues contributing to HIV susceptibility: food insecurity, poverty, gender inequity and ineffective governance. SAFE was implemented in 3 geographic subdivisions (Njombwa, Kaomba, \& Mwase) of Kasungu District, located in west-central Malawi. It was funded primarily by the European Commission \& partially by the Austrian Development Cooperation. SAFE had 4 main components: 1) improving farming practices \& sustainable agriculture through Farmer Field Schools, 2) increasing access to savings and investment through Village Savings \& Loans Groups, 3) building capacity of local governance structures \& 4) integrating HIV education \& gender empowerment into programs through training \& education.
