The Alliance of Cooperatives Against Hunger & Poverty (ACAHP) is a national alliance of farmer-owned cooperatives and federations established in 2024 to bridge the gap between local food producers and government programs like DSWD–EPAHP. We ensure nutritious, locally-sourced food reaches Filipino communities that need it most.
Why ACAHP Matters
When cooperatives supply government feeding programs, every peso spent stabilises farmer incomes, reduces regional poverty, and keeps food sovereignty local. ACAHP transforms procurement from a transaction into a development tool — with a proven track record across Mindanao.
Partner with ACAHP
ACAHP is a government-recognized, cooperative-led alliance operating at the intersection of food security, public procurement, and rural development. Whether you are a donor, embassy, NGO, or government agency, partnering with ACAHP means your support reaches communities through structured, transparent, and measurable channels.
