| Title: | Bolivia - Integral Strengthening Programme for the Camelid Value Chain in the Bolivian High Plateau (Pro-Camélidos) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
By doing manual work supported by machines, the members of the Asociación de Productores Agroganaderos de Turco (APAT) ensure that they get the products the way they want them. Roberta Rivera Mollo and Zenayda Marca Quenaya show how llama meat is processed at APAT's processing plant in the municipality of Turco, in the Andean region of Bolivia. The production of hamburgers and sausages from this animal is an incentive for them and the other producers and partners. "It helps us in a lot of things for our family, such as supplying ourselves, as well as not only looking at the man who is going to earn or not. We can also make and have the support to make the charque and do this," Roberta explains. With financial support from FIDA, through the Pro-Camelids program, they were able to improve working conditions and provide the plant with better equipment. In the social structure of the organizations and communities, opportunities for improvement have been identified, such as the underestimation of women's participation in the camelid complex, the limited inclusion of young people due to migration, which restricts generational surveys, and a weak organizational structure. Faced with these challenges, Pro-Camelidos is implementing a long-term strategy focused on the sustainability of associative enterprises, improving access to markets and strengthening the organizational structure. This strategy is based on interventions that seek to increase incomes, reduce food insecurity and improve natural resource management. |
