General Description
Pazdentro is a participatory and comprehensive intercultural rural development initiative that helps indigenous, farmer, Afro, and urban communities, and their institutions, construct a stable and lasting peace. The project strengthens organizations and their economic structures, improving food security production, transformation, and commercialization. The project implements actions aimed at environmentally sustainable, local economic development, social and cultural development, and governance, with a gender, generational, interethnic, environmental, and do-no-harm approach. The project is executed by the Nasa Cxha-Cxha Association of Indigenous Councils and uses the “Leader Approach” with local development based on a region, and accessible and decentralized investment management. |

Contribution to the Peace Accourds
The project contributes to point 1 of the Peace Agreement by contributing to the indigenous population, supporting local economic development with a regional focus, closing the agricultural gap, and protecting ethnic wealth and sensitive environmental areas. The project provides critical factors to local economies such as: working capital, access to credit, technical assistance, training, infrastructure, machinery, and equipment. |

Objectives and Results
The project has four specific results: ● The first result strengthens the environmentally sustainable, inclusive, legal, and competitive local economies in the regions where it works. It does this by increasing productivity and diversity, supporting the coffee value chain, and strengthening farmers access to credit. ● The second result improves local capacities for environmental management by supporting: 1) the production and marketing of organic fertilizers and nutritional concentrates; 2) the certification of orchards associated with coffee; and 3) the transformation of organic waste. ● The third result provides the region with relevant, inclusive and intercultural educational models for sustainable local development and peaceful coexistence. ● The fourth result improves regional actors’ management, planning, and sustainable management capacities by promoting a peacebuilding approach in communities and institutions. |
