Territorial Peace: Strengthening local stakeholders for peacebuilding and the development of alternative economic models in Northern Cauca

Objective

To contribute to the implementation of the Peace Agreement in Colombia from a territorial peace approach, by means of strengthening the community, family and rural economy, and promoting the social and solidarity-based economy (ESS) and rural cooperative movement, with contributions from the Basque experience in ESS and local development.

Description

The project fosters training and technical assistance in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC) and Cauca for productive development, with the active participation of productive and local organisations and social movements, together with former combatants of the  FARC-EP, in two municipalities in Northern Cauca (Buenos Aires and Caldono), based on the solidarity-based economy and rural cooperative movement. In the Basque Country, the process will be mainstreamed with public entities, DNGOs, universities and social movements, with the Basque experience in the solidarity-based economy and cooperative movement.
