The name ACDI \/ VOCA<\/strong> dates back to the 1997 merger of Agricultural Cooperative Development International and Volunteers in Overseas Cooperative Assistance. Both were nonprofit international economic development organizations founded by the U.S. cooperative community.<\/p>\n

The merger achieved new economies of scale and blended the complementary strengths of ACDI\u2019s long-term development approaches and VOCA\u2019s people-to-people volunteer activities. Today we dispense with the long version of our name and use only the acronym (pronounced A-C-D-I-V\u014dca).<\/p>\n
