The project's main purpose is to organizationally strengthen ECOMUN and its base cooperatives.  This will help ECOMUN develop sustainable economic ventures, create income under an associative and solidarity scheme, and enable cooperatives to position themselves as benchmarks in equitable and equal development. To this end, the project uses the knowledge and practices of LKS-ALECOP, and cooperatives belonging to the Mondragon Group, whose experience and methodology can be very useful in peacebuilding, collective reincorporation, and the development of equitable communities and regions.

The project has two fundamental pillars:

1) Promoting the sustainability of the ecosystem and the base cooperatives by developing the ECOMUN Cooperative Group and solid Inter-cooperation mechanisms.  This is understood as a competitive advantage for businesses and as an advanced solidarity solution.

2) Enhancing the distribution of wealth by placing people at the center of the model in order to ensure the "Common Good." With a project deeply rooted in the regions, it is structured as a catalyst and promoter of their development.

The project contributes to points 1 and 3.2 of the Peace Agreement. The project can contribute to the creation of well-being and dignified living conditions for the communities and rural population with which the ECOMUN Group and its Base Cooperatives interact by reducing poverty and promoting equality. In addition, the project promotes the process of reincorporation of the FARC-EP into civilian life - economically, socially and politically, coexistence, and reconciliation.

All this is promoted to the extent that ECOMUN is strengthened as a cooperative structure by creating sustainable economic activities, promoting community reincorporation in the region and strengthening the social fabric, coexistence, and reconciliation.
