II. Background:

To increase our impact on breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting healthier families and communities, Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health (LWR & IMA) are joining forces. The two humanitarian nonprofits are integrating IMA's global health expertise and LWR-s capacities in rural economies and emergency response, creating a unified organization that will help millions more enjoy a healthier, more prosperous tomorrow.

LWR aims to realize agriculture-s potential to grow inclusive rural economies and reduce poverty by taking a systems approach in markets, social capital, and the environment, recognizing that gender equity, resilience, and positive youth development must be integrated across all programming. LWR analyzes the interactions of these systems to gain a holistic understanding of the gaps, barriers, and opportunities we can address through our development programming. Meanwhile, IMA has deep expertise and experience in nutrition; water; sanitation and hygiene, responding to sexual and gender-based violence; and promoting maternal and child health

Lutheran World Relief has been working in Honduras since the early 1990s and has maintained a permanent presence in the country since 2011. Working in partnership with local NGOs, farmers- organizations, and other cocoa and coffee value chain actors, LWR engages with agricultural communities primarily in northern and western regions of the country to establish agricultural systems that increase incomes and food security for smallholder farmers.
