Social Coalitions for Territorial Economic Development

The "Social Coalitions for Territorial Economic Development Project (2014-2016)" was implemented in eight municipalities in the department of Cochabamba: Arbieto, Tarata, Sacabamba, Anzaldo, Omereque, Pasorapa, Mizque and Totora. It envolved the eight Municipal Governments responsible for public management at the local level and 80 farmers organizations and their associates. The main objective was to receive and apply for private public agreements that favored local economic development to improve the living conditions of the small producer families. The project advanced on establishing social coalitions for development and conducted different activities for awareness, thematic positioning, lobbying and incidence. Another goal was to organize joint actions at the municipal and regional levels, and at the departmental level, in relation to: 1) productive projects to improve public investment for local development; 2) proposals and approval of public policy measures in sub regions; 3) management of financial resources to expand productive credit; and 4) lobbying for the approval of regional and departmental policies to promote territorial economic development.
