The project seeks to build a stable and lasting peace in the implementation of the Peace Agreement |
Implementation period
From 15/Feb/2018 To 30/Nov/2021 |
General Description
The project seeks to create a stable and lasting peace in the implementation of the Peace Agreement, by stimulating legal local economic activity, participation in regional management, and promoting a culture of peace and rights. To this end, the project focuses on three lines. The first line promotes the participation of small producers and rural communities in agricultural value chains, through developing income improving initiatives that allow them to face economic difficulties, climate change, and consolidate local and national markets. The second line facilitates participation in regional planning for indigenous populations, Afro-descendants, and farmers, promoting regional development based on the communities’ proposals. The third line creates a culture of peace, peaceful conflict resolution, and of nonviolent social dialogue in order to reconstruct the social fabric. The project promotes economic, social, and political empowerment of rural women, and is implemented by national and international NGOs and CSOs, led by ICCO. |
Contribution to the Peace Accourds
The project contributes to point 1 of the Agreement by developing local economic initiatives and supporting regional management. It implements integrated production, transformation, and commercialization plans in prioritized chains. The project strengthens development initiatives for the Awá indigenous people, attending to their culture and eating habits, which strengthens food and nutritional security, improves women's impact, and creates income. The project contributes to point 3.2 by developing capacities in conflict resolution and peace building. Thus, the project promotes the resolution of disputes between indigenous communities, Afro-descendants, and farmers, the recovery of ancestral customs, contributing to community reincorporation and to the reconstruction of the social fabric. |
