| Title: | Peru - Local Productive Development Project in the Highlands and Rainforest of Peru (Avanzar Rural) – August 2022 |
| Description: |
The Pacaypite Women Entrepreneurs Association was created in 2016 in the settlement of Pacaypite, an area of forests and natural areas protected by the State for the preservation and recovery of ecosystems in the district of Jepelacio, province of Moyobamba, San Martín region. The main activity of the organization is the production of Pergamino-type coffee, and its commercialization is developed at the local and district level. Among the 28 women that make up the organization, they grow about 40 hectares of coffee crops, and in the last few years they have contributed significantly to the improvement of the quality of life in their community, enhancing the role of Awajun women and their ancestral knowledge for the preservation of the area's native biodiversity and the care of the environment. The Avanzar Rural Project is a priority in Peru’s Post-COVID 19 National Recovery Plan. It will improve family farmers’ productive capacity and access to markets in 101 districts of the Amazonas, Ancash, Cajamarca, Lima and San Martin departments. The project focuses on developing the competitiveness and resilience to climate change of family farmers, in particular women and youth, historically marginalized in economic decisions affecting rural communities. It also spreads the use of low-cost, efficient technologies for boosting productivity, accessing markets and mitigating climate change. Avanzar Rural will benefit 17,400 small agricultural producers organized in cooperatives, productive associations and their families, which represent a total number of 57,420 direct beneficiaries. |
