Interactions with living territories (Peru) - Projet clôturé
In the Andean region, sustainable territorial management and the defense of the rights of peasant populations have become a priority in a context marked by the impact of global climate change (particularly on the water resource), the rural exodus, the prioritization by the local population.

Our action

On the other hand, awareness-raising, consultation, dialogue and advocacy for the rights of peasant families are carried out at the national level with Belgian NGOs, the public sector and Peruvian organizations, while strengthening the latter.
Lastly, specific gender-related actions are carried out via a specialized local partner. Based on a diagnosis of gender inequalities (currently being finalized), the technical teams will prioritize actions to be implemented within the project (direct action to reduce the inequalities prioritized) and proposals to improve public policies locally.
