Cooperative Network to Back-Up Small Productive Projects in Colombia The
Atlantic region “remains the poorest region in Colombia, where
illiteracy and unemployment rates are highest. Surprisingly, it is the one
region where grassroots movements have been traditionally more active. The
great number of local neighborhood, professional, cultural and social
associations, both formal and informal, is explained by many as a result
of the struggle for land within the agrarian reform.” As
analysed in the report, the main activities of this project, designed to
boost cooperative networks, were: income generation and job creation;
sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation; and training in
the areas of business and farm management.
