Network of Initiatives and Communities of Peace from the Base

The Network of Initiatives and Communities of Peace from the Base was a process that took place between 2009 and 2016, in which 30 organizations of local and regional peace initiatives were united to exchange experiences and strengthen communities and processes. Likewise, the Network's objective was to generate mutual support and solidarity among the members in order to defend their rights, contribute to the construction of a peace proposal and achieve an effective political impact in relation to the impact on communities of the internal conflict in the country. The Network was made up of women, peasants, Afro-descendants and indigenous people from different regions of Colombia and generated proposal documents especially in the area of rural and agrarian development for the peace process and negotiation between the Government and the FARC guerrillas.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
