Company-Community Relationship for the Conservation of Calama Oasis

Company-Community Relationship for the Conservation of Calama Oasis was a process for dialogue that involved civil society, private sectors and the government, for the purpose of reconciling the preferences of the inhabitants of the Calama area and the commercial interests of a mining company with intentions to carry out operations. The process consisted of local, jointly-managed working tables, as well as funding opportunities for the local farmers, with the purpose of promoting agricultural improvement and skill transfer. These initiatives included the peasant community, the indigenous peoples and the women of Calama, led by a democratic structure of the Farmers' Association, which brought together the 17 Water Communities present at the Oasis.
