MSH provided technical support and funding through SEAM and enlisted other partners, such as the Mennonite Economic Development Associates, for their specific expertise. (After the pilot project was completed in 2005, other donors, including USAID [U.S. Agency for International Development] and the Global Fund, also provided support, as described below.)
