1 cross Africa (, , , , , , and ), The Hunger Project’s Epicenter Strategy unites 5,000 to 15,000 people in a cluster of villages to create an “epicenter,” or a dynamic center where communities are mobilizedA for action to meet their basic needs. This holistic strategy takes them on a path to sustainable self-reliance through four distinct phases over a period of about eight years. During this time, individuals build the confidence to become leaders of their own development and communities come together to unlock local capacity for change.

As of 2017, 24 of The Hunger Project’s epicenters had declared self-reliance, meaning 221,910 of our community partners are now living in a self-reliant community and are set up to perpetuate, sustain and enhance the work begun in partnership with The Hunger Project.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF ENDING HUNGER IN BENIN AND BURKINA FASO In 2017, Hunger Project-Benin and The Hunger Project-Burkina Faso each celebrated their 20th year of working to end chronic hunger and poverty through the Epicenter Strategy.

Since their launch, programs in both countries have spearheading holistic initiatives that sustainably address the needs of changing and growing rural communities. These programs leverage wide-reaching, high-level and grassroots partnerships for maximum impact. For example, a national campaign to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of the “miracle” Moringa tree in Benin now extends over seven other program countries. The 11-country partnership to end child marriage through an alliance called Her Choice involves several organizations dedicated to creating child-marriage free communities in which girls are able to decide if, when and whom to marry.

In Benin, The Hunger Project partners with 19 epicenters, serving 183 villages and a population of 297,256 people. Three of these epicenters—Avlamé, Beterou and Kissamey—have declared self-reliance with a 72% decrease in chronic hunger. And in Burkina Faso, The Hunger Project partners with 15 epicenters, serving 189 villages and a population of 303,893 people. One of these epicenters, Boulkon Epicenter, declared self-reliance with significant advancement by women of the region — the number of female business owners increased 600% over just two years!

2 2017 Annual Report SPOTLIGHT: SELF-RELIANCE IN AFRICA

5 SPOTLIGHT: THE MOVEMENT FOR COMMUNITY-LED DEVELOPMENT

6 2017 Annual Report ommunity-led Development is a methodology at the heart of The Hunger Project’s work across Africa, South Asia and Latin America. When communities are empowered with the right set of tools to achieve their own development, we see results. The Hunger Project leverages these results to advocateC for the adoption of gender-focused and community-led approaches by national governments and other agencies who have the ability to change billions of lives.

Community-led Development is the process of working together to create and achieve locally owned visions and goals. It is a planning and development approach that’s based on a set of core principles that (at a minimum) set vision and priorities by the people who live in that geographic community, put local voices in the lead, build on local strengths (rather than focus on problems), collaborate across sectors, is intentional and adaptable, and works to achieve systemic change rather than short-term projects.

In 2015, The Hunger Project catalyzed the formation of a global Movement for Community-led Development, which has now grown to more than 60 organizations worldwide. This alliance is committed to advocating for the power and capacity of communities to take charge of their own development. It is in communities that women, men and youth can discover their voice, assert their rights and mobilize action to achieve their aspirations. Today, the Movement is active globally and with local chapters in Benin, Burkina Faso, Malawi, Netherlands, Senegal, the UK, the US — and now Mexico!

In 2017, The Hunger Project launched the Mexico chapter of the Movement for Community-led Development. The launch event was held in Mexico’s Foreign Ministry with high-level participation by the Undersecretary for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights, Hunger Project leadership and representatives from the Mexican government and civil society organizations. The new Movement chapter will target Mexico City and towns in Morelos, Hidalgo, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosí, Chiapas and Jalisco with the support of more than 20 civil society organizations and networks.

5 SPOTLIGHT: #GIRLSCHANGETRACKS ADVOCACY HIGHLIGHT : COMMUNITY-LED DEVELOPMENT

8 2017 Annual Report hild marriage is a lost opportunity, and locks girls in an endless cycle of poverty. The empowerment of girls and women is the pillar of a world without hunger and poverty. Unfortunately, an estimated 47% of girls in India are still married before the age of 18. In July 2017, TheC Hunger Project-India launched a creative initiative to empower adolescent girls to learn from one another and take a stand for their rights, including in working to stop child marriage.

To begin this new initiative, called #GirlsChangeTracks, a group of 25 young visionary women traveled more than 3,000 km by train from India’s state of Bihar to the state of Rajasthan — joined by local partners, animators, staff and a film crew — on an exciting journey to promote the empowerment of young women and girls.

The girls from Bihar are part of Hunger Project programs focused on adolescent girls, to equip youth with life skills training, encourage engagement with governance systems, and raise awareness about their rights and the importance of active citizenship in local village councils known as Panchayats.

On this transformative journey, documented over the course of five unique short films, the girls engaged in conversations and learning activities with young women and girls from Rajasthan. Together in this environment of growth and safety, the girls discussed shared issues they might not otherwise address, such as early child marriage, their vision for a better and more equal future, and their economic and social empowerment. During their stay in Rajasthan, the girls, many of whom have never left their communities, visited the local bazaars, meeting with people and learning the value of collaborating with communities beyond their own. “I’m living a better life now and I’ll teach other girls to live like me — with dignity. Today our village knows of us, tomorrow the world will.” — Guriya Kumari, #GirlsChangeTracks participant
