Kolektif Arcadins

Kolektif Arcadins, formerly the Sustainable Village and Learning Community, is an integrated community development initiative designed to promote systemic change in Arcahaie and the Arcadins Coast of Haiti.

Kolektif was born through a participatory community visioning process, with local residents and stakeholders sharing their views of local education, health, economic and environmental challenges, priorities and opportunities. With input from 600 local stakeholders, the Bridgespan Group worked with the 12 founding organizations to develop strategic and business plans, prioritizing economic and agricultural development, entrepreneurship (in collaboration with the Haiti Food System Alliance), community health care, education and civic engagement.

A master plan for 40 acres Kolektif acquired in Arcahaie calls for a three-phase process of development, capital construction and program implementation by 2029.

The first anchor program for Kolektif focuses on agricultural and economic development in collaboration with the Haiti Food System Alliance. Leveraging national HFSA networks, will create viable livelihood and entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture and fishing for local residents, including men, women and youth.
