General Description
The project contributes to consolidating peace in Colombia through sustainable and inclusive management of the Amazon ecosystem for communities, especially for young people between14 and 29 years old. The project works with young people through a regional model that takes advantage of the regions’ enormous natural potential, and at the same time, preserves the ecosystem. The project aims to capitalize on European added values related to: alternative energy, ecotourism, green businesses and biocommerce, river basin development, youth and volunteering, innovation and technology, education, the LEADER approach, among others. The goal is to transform the upper basin of the Guaviare River, middle of Caguán River, and the lower Guayabero River, from "strategic corridors of war" into "corridors of life". |
