Published purpose
This project aims to support the economic development of some of Colombia’s poorest rural areas, directly benefitting 4,000 small-scale farmers. The project supports the Government of Colombia in developing a new model for integrated rural economic development, which includes priorities of under-represented groups, civil society and private sector, at the level of micro-regions. (A micro-region is a group of 5-9 municipalities that share socio-economic characteristics.) The project is supporting the development and implementation of Integrated Rural Economic Development Plans for three micro-regions. It also seeks to: (i) develop the capacity among the communities to participate in the planning of their micro-region’s economic development; (ii) provide support to small-scale farmers in the three micro-regions to increase production and income; and (iii) provide support to replicate successful economic activities beyond the three micro-regions.
