Social Control Program of Coca

The Social Control Program of Coca incorporates the active and voluntary participation and commitment of farmers to state institutions, as well as the exchange of information and commitment to international bodies and agencies, including the European Union and the United Nations, and the governments of Brazil and the United States. Coca producers manage the programs, either as agricultural agents or as inspection supervisors. The initiative focused on community participation in the management and decision-making processes related to the cultivation of coca leaf. It proved to be a good alternative to the model of forced eradication of coca plantings.
