It gives me great pleasure to present to you this special offprint of the INSPIRA journal, devoted to the work un-dertaken by various Canadian NGOs with Bolivian munici-palities and communities.

The variety of Canadian regions finds an echo in Bolivia`s own reality. It is impressive to note that each joint initiative carries the seal of the experience and the reality of each local partner. Therefore, what has been achieved is a valuable example of effective and efficient cooperation for development.

Canadian multiculturalism allows us to harmonize distinct identities and to value diversity. This is how our vo-lunteers in Bolivia, in spite of its cultural, ethnic and geogra-phical diversity, find a core of shared values and principles, facilitating cooperation between our two countries.

I am certain the reader will appreciate the multiplicity of activities that Canadian organizations, together with their Bolivian partners, have been able to carry out in the field of social and economic regional development. Projects in municipal administration, basic sanitation, income gene-ration and economic development, and family health and hygiene are a few examples of sectors in which Bolivian and Canadian experts have worked creatively to provide better options for communities and their municipalities.

Bolivia has generously opened its doors to the Cana-dian civil society 45 years ago already, and a great sense of solidarity has been growing between our peoples. The enormous diversity of financial and technical contributions allowed for the creation of networks and alliances that have been multiplying and covering a significant space in the four Bolivian cardinal points. This relationship of mutual respect enriched Canadians and Bolivians alike, with its participants becoming dynamic instruments of social change within their own realities. This process continues, and Bolivia has become the country with the greatest concentration of Canadian civil society cooperation in South America.

This special issue of INSPIRA will allow for a better understanding of the scope of this cooperation and help in the dissemination of valuable lessons learned that could be replicated in other parts of the country. It is our belief that

coordination between communities benefits everyone and permits for equitable growth, ensuring the kind of econo-mic and social growth we are all hoping for.

The Platform of Canadian Civil Society Organiza-tions in Bolivia (COCAB) is a non-profit inter-institutional network that currently joins together 18 organizations linked to Canada and working in the country. Recognizing the lack of spaces for coordination and the exchange of in-formation, and thanks to the commitment of our principal ally, the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and De-velopment (DFATD), member organizations united under the platform have been able to strengthen their coordina-tion, joint learning, synergy and knowledge management, thus improving their overall impact on the quality of life of the Bolivian population.

By generating spaces for information exchange, COCAB`s work helps consolidate cooperation efforts, see-king greater efficiency in the use of funds from the Canadian people. In this way, our work is engrained within the interna-tional framework on aid effectiveness and the development effectiveness of civil society organizations, and contributes to the implementation of public policies of the Bolivian State, as formulated within the 13 pillars of the 2025 Patriotic Agenda, with the common goal of building a more inclusive, involved and democratic state and society. With the objective of interacting on behalf of its members, COCAB is a valid interlocutor in the eyes of the Bolivian State, other NGO platforms, and development organizations.

Areas of InterventionActions lead by COCAB member organizations focus

on four non-restrictive thematic areas of intervention – economic development, the integral childhood and youth development with an emphasis on gender, the area of health, and that of governance. Many of these initiatives have been highlighted in the present publication, presenting an updated compilation of efforts of 15 of our 18 member organizations.

The implementation of projects and programs in the sphere of ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT contributes to bringing and maintaining the prosperity and economic well-being of the most at-risk and vulnerable sectors of the country. By means of the cooperative approach, the Société de coopération pour le développement international (SOCODEVI) (Society of Cooperation for International

Development) supports the development of cooperative companies in the agricultural sector, with the aim of ensu-ring sustainable economic growth in the rural areas of the country. The Centre for International Studies and Coo-peration (CECI) also implements sustainable development projects, based on the building of institutional alliances in which municipalities play a leading role, together with responsible corporate actors and local producers, while the Léger Foundation supports initiatives that seek to create concrete positive impact on the lives of vulnerable and marginalized populations, implementing a project suppor-ting dairy production in the Bolivian high plains, involving the participation of over 60 indigenous Aymara communi-ties. Simon Fraser University´s work focuses on introdu-cing the concept of Community Economic Development as a strategy and a toolbox allowing for the collaboration between actors on establishing initiatives ensuring social, economic, and environmental sustainability at the grassroots level. Oxfam, on the other hand, has played a role in the de-velopment of various female-led entrepreneurship initiatives in urban areas. The Baptist Organization for Social Develo-pment (OBADES) supports the sustainable development of agricultural potential, developing value chains mindful of the sustainable management of natural resources. Finally, Cuso International’s program for the strengthening of the Chiquitano Model Forest has as objective the creation of spaces for the encounter of multi-sectoral actors in the Chiquitano territory in order to improve the sustainable use of its natural resources.

In the area of INTEGRAL CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT WITH AN EMPHA-SIS ON GENDER, World Vision, together with local authorities and leaders, and with an approach focused on the development and comprehensive protection of children, is facilitating processes promoting the empowerment and participation of children, women, and their communities. This process is also supported by the work of Canadian Feed the Children (CFTC), through its support of early development and educational support centers, including a strong emphasis on nutrition. Via the Children Lead the Way program, Save the Children International (SCI) is helping ensure indigenous children and youth, as well as working children, have access to quality education and improved employment opportunities. In addition to pro-viding schooling support and technical career training for child workers in the city of Cochabamba, OBADES is also providing integral support to children living with impriso-ned family members. Similarly, thanks to the support of participating municipalities, Youth Employment Centers established by Cuso International based on a Canadian model offer free services in vocational guidance, job search, and entrepreneurship.

Showing the Canadian Footprint in Bolivia

SOCIEDADQUEINSPIRA.COM | MAY.154 A FONDO 5

The Canadian Footprint is visible in 9 Departments and over 90 Bolivian municipalities, working in close

cooperation with autonomous municipal government representatives. It has been made a reality thanks to

the important support of the Canadian people, through DFATD and the work of COCAB member organizations.

The Canadian Footprint in Bolivia...


HEALTH is considered to be one of the fundamental pillars of a society’s development. In 25 rural municipalities, Plan International Inc.’s project CAMINAS created a new way of improving community health, by linking health faci-lities and local authorities with the community, its grassroots organizations, and mothers, fathers and children under five. With its intercultural approach, integrating conventional and traditional medicine, CECI’s project `An Awayu for a Risk-Free Delivery` resulted in the reduction of pregnancy-related deaths and complications and increased demands for services provided by formal health centers. Considering domestic violence to be a public health problem, projects carried out by the Comité de Solidarité / Trois Rivières (CS/TR) (the Trois-Rivières Solidarity Committee) and the Center for Promotion and Integral Health (CEPROSI) supporting efforts of 22 centers for women, have managed to raise the awareness and educate the women and chil-dren affected, continuously working on the development of new social behaviours. Finally, recognizing the strong linkage between food security, food sovereignty and healthy communities, World Vision is working on the develop-ment of diagnostics and the implementation of plans and strategies articulated together with municipal governments, and aiming to diversify household economic activities, while CFTC is supporting an urban agriculture project.

Moreover, in the area of GOVERNANCE, the Fe-deration of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)’s Muni-cipal Partners for Economic Development program has developed partnerships between Canadian and Bolivian municipalities, promoting the exchange of knowledge on issues of local economic development. CARE is supporting

municipal governance in the management of public-private partnerships, by aiding autonomous municipal governments to promote, articulate and facilitate competitive productive economic development processes. Furthermore, Oxfam is supporting youth participation in contributing to an agenda of proposals related to the need for structural changes in response to the precariousness of youth employment, while CS/TR and CEPROSI are encouraging the engagement of women as instruments of social change. Finally, in addition to supporting the empowerment of women and the streng-thening of their organizations, Development and Peace is also providing legal counseling to indigenous groups.

Spanning the four areas of intervention, CECI, Oxfam and Cuso International are contributing to the work of local social organizations through the volunteer cooperation program, relying on the support of professional internatio-nal volunteers – particularly Canadians, but also volunteers from other countries. Moreover, Cuso International is also participating in processes advocating for the develo-pment of public policies favouring volunteerism and the promotion of local volunteering as a means of sustainable development.

Thanks to COCAB`s articulation and representation of the work of Canadian civil society within Bolivia and beyond, the Canadian cooperation has gained a more united voice and a more palpable image, thereby demonstrating “The Canadian Footprint in Bolivia”.

“In 2011, different organizations were not aware of each other’s presence, and, in many cases, we were working in the same area and on similar topics. Today, the cooperation ties have been strengthened by working within the COCAB – we exchange key information, share best practices and lessons-learned and cooperate in the pursuit of synergies that allow us to showcase the impact of the Canadian footprint in Bolivia. As such, the COCAB presents an important space for interaction between Canadian organizations.”Shirley Estévez, President of the COCAB Board of Directors

BETTING ONEDUCATION

Based on the Theory of Change approach, CFTC`s1 work focuses on education, food security, and skill-building, through the implementation of thirteen Child Development Centers for children under four, and support to primary education via eight pedagogical support centers for around 3,000 girls and boys. All of these include a strong nutritional component, serving almost 1 million rations a year. Simi-larly, the urban agricultural project in Las Lomas and Alpa-coma, in association with SCSJ and in partnership with the Fundación Alternativas (Alternatives Foundation), aims at addressing vulnerabilities related to food insecurity through the establishment of urban gardens.

The activities of the three year program in Bolivia have enabled our partners to consolidate relations with the Muni-cipalities of La Paz, Sucre and Tiquipaya, through inter-ins-titutional agreements for wage support for educators in the thirteen child development centres, and the joint planning of improvements to educational facilities, helping provide the conditions necessary for the integral development of children under five.

Consolidating Alliances with the Municipality of Sucre

In 2014, the Sojta Phata and La Barranca communities of the sixth district of the Sucre municipality carried out important infrastructural projects for their schools, through work coordinated with the district’s City Hall, the teaching staff of both schools, the IPTK and CFTC. These initia-tives originated in the very communities, brought forth by their indigenous authorities.

The improvements have created a strategic partnership with the head of primary education, who has taken over the guardianship of the educators of the Center.

The implementations of the CICOM (Children’s Com-munity Center) meets community demands, and includes the community authorities’ support through the provision of construction materials, as district 6 counterparts, IPTK`s support for the training of teachers and CFTC`s support for the costs of equipment and ensuring CICOM`s functio-ning budget, including the provision of 4 meals a day for girls and boys under the age of 5.

1 CFTC in Bolivia works in association with the Tomás Katari Polytechnic Institute in Sucre, the Catholic Society of San José – SCSJ in La Paz and the Center of the Infant Jesus of Prague in Tiquipaya, Cochabamba.

Canadian Feed The Children (CFTC) is an independent international development organization whose vision is a world where children

are growing up without poverty. CFTC has been striving to reduce the impact of poverty

on the lives of children in Bolivia since 2004, in association with local partners and

communities.

CARE Bolivia has been working in Bolivia since 1976 in areas related to

the provision of drinking water, child survival, natural

resources, plant and livestock agricultural production, risk management and climate change. The essential components to all of

its programs are, among others, gender and generational equality, as well as accountability.

TOWARDS AUTONOMOUS MUNICIPALITIES WITH COMPETITIVE PRODUCTION

Based on experience it developed at the national level, CARE Bolivia is implementing a project called Tukuy Yanapana (meaning ‘We All Collaborate’ in Quechua) in 4 municipalities of the Chuquisaca department, financed by the Canadian government’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD). It is directly develo-ping the skills of women and men, working with municipal authorities and technicians, as well as skills of managers and technicians of the Associative Rural Entities (EAR). Its aim is the improvement of municipal governance for the management of public-private partnerships through the implementation of a guide promoting productive economic development of the autonomous Bolivian municipalities. It is a document based on national legislation and containing the contributions, recommendations and approval of three ministries: the Ministry of Autonomies; Productive De-velopment and Plural Economy; Rural Development and Land, through the Technical Secretariat of the Multinational Economic Council; as well as the Federation of Municipal Associations of Bolivia.

With the implementations of the GUIDE developed by CARE and the local governments, with Canadian govern-ment support (and now validated by 6 rural municipalities and 1 capital city), autonomous municipal governments will be able to promote, articulate, and facilitate competitive processes of productive economic development, enabling rural economic actors to access public resources, with the main goals of:

• Management of municipal laws so as to promote productive economic development. The project has achieved the enactment of municipal laws in the munici-palities of Monteagudo and Padilla in Chuquisaca.

• Consolidate the Municipal Councils on Economic Pro-ductivity (COMEPs) as spaces of public-private coordi-nation. 6 COMEPs have been formed and are operating in Padilla, El Villar, Villa Serrano, Monteagudo, and Villa Vaca Guzmán in Chuquisaca.

• Understanding public-private investment based on mar-ket demand.

• Economic empowerment of women and men (gender sensitive public spending).

• Promoting productivity and competitiveness of As-sociative Rural Entities – EARs with market-oriented economic goals.

• Promoting the generation of wealth and mechanisms for the redistribution of benefits at different steps in the value-added chain, using a gender equality approach.

• Management of joint ventures based on sustainable and integral business plans, as is the case with the implemen-tation of a business plan submitted by the Association of Livestock and Plant Producers of Pepper and Peanuts in El Villar to the Autonomous Municipal Government of El Villar and CARE, which was co-funded by the three parties, based on a transfer of economic resources from the public to the private sector.

The application of the GUIDE will allow for a concen-trated, inclusive and participative management of municipal laws favouring the economic endeavours of women and men. Joint investment and the generation of public-private partner-ships oriented towards gender-sensitive competitive produc-tion will impulse the generation of wealth and improvement of the well-being of families and of future generations.

international network of associates fighting poverty

and exclusion, predominantly through the strengthening of skills of disadvantaged

communities, supporting initiatives promoting peace, human rights and equity, mobilizing

resources and favouring the exchange of knowledge. Its strategic orientation focuses on

local development and governance, agriculture and food security, volunteering, humanitarian

aid, civic security and equality between women and men. In Bolivia, CECI has been actively

INTERCULTURAL HEALTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A PRIORITY IN COOPERATION

Eduardo Alfaro Ross, National Director [email protected]

Producer, Quinoa Project

Through the Intercultural Health Program implemented in the municipality of Curahuara de Carangas, the Centre for International Studies and Cooperation – CECI has contribu-ted to a reduction in pregnancy-related deaths and compli-cations, leading to an increase in the demand for services in formal health centres and a high adoption rate of this model by the municipalities involved. The results were made possible thanks to a methodology prioritizing community organization and participation, as well as effective female leadership and empowerment, medical attention integrating both conventional and traditional medicine, and finally, important inter-institutional and inter-sectoral participation utilising the appropriate tools and processes.

With support of the Canadian cooperation via the Local Fund for Social Responsibility in Bolivia, the contribution of private companies sharing a similar vision and the active participation of the municipalities involved, CECI has initiated two projects - Sustainable Development of Organic Quinoa in Colcha K, Potosi, and Improvement of Milk Production in 15 communities of the Viacha municipality in La Paz.

Both projects are looking to generate improvements through the development of new production and processing technologies, commercial integration of producers with buyers leading to their better participation in the market, organizational and institutional strengthening, as well as the creation of channels for policy dialogue with active partici-pation of women, whilst maintaining the protection of the environment as a core priority.

Finally, the voluntary cooperation program Uniterra relies on the support of volunteers to partner organizations, in order to strengthen and build the skills and experiences of the latter. Through the involvement of volunteers in specialized areas as part of this program, support has been developed for the above-mentioned projects, its main focus being economic development.


The Simon Fraser University Center for Sustainable Com-munity Development established Community Economic Development (CED) in Bolivia through a training program for professionals and non-professionals (2007-2013) in partner-ship with the postgraduate program in Development Sciences of the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés and the AIPE NGO network. The trainings took place in 5 districts of the country, involving over 400 participants. Amongst municipalities invol-ved directly in the project are Viacha, La Paz, Padilla, Cliza, and Tiquipaya. Other areas where CED or-ganized trainings are Santa Cruz, Sucre, Oruro, and Ocurí.

“CED uses a new approach to crea-ting economic change that will involve the entire community”, commented Alberto Mollinedo, the CED Project Director in Bolivia. It is a strategy and a toolkit that allows participants to collaborate in establishing initiatives and endeavours that will lead to economic, social, and environmental sustainability at the local level. “It’s about identifying and mobilizing current and potential community assets” said SFU’s Gretchen Hernandez. It is a question of valuing and strengthening people, the place where they live, and mutual collabora-tion. We have seen what happens when this potential is liberated through the leaders of these communities, and when all agents can collaborate efficiently to create change. It can also help achieve more efficient and authentic strategic planning at the municipal level.

In 2013, workshops on the identifi-cation and planning of CED initiatives continued in the city of Oruro, and the municipalities of Viacha and La Paz. Since 2014, implementation of the “Documenting and Encou-raging CED in Bolivia” project started. One of its main outco-mes will be a study of successful CED initiatives in Bolivia and Peru.

The Comité de Solidarité / Trois Rivières (CS/TR) (Trois-Rivières Solidarity Committee) of Canada, represented in Bolivia by the Center

for Promotion and Integral Health (CEPROSI), is an international development organization

that has been working in Bolivia since 2009. In this period, CS/TR and CEPROSI have jointly conducted two comprehensive projects mainly

benefiting women’s organizations.

CS/TR AND CEPROSI: FOR WOMEN AS AGENTS OF SOCIAL CHANGE

Given the persistent increase in cases of violence against women and children, and considering domestic violence to be a public health problem, CS/TR and CEPROSI’s projects have been able to educate and raise the awareness of affected women and children, continuing to develop new forms of social behaviour. Moreover, they have provided immediate assistance to those most vulnerable, in addition to contributing to the initiation of a long-term change in Bolivian society, affirming in practice the principles of democratization of health and of equity of participation, as promoted by the international norms on gender equality.

Similarly, the organizations supported the efforts of 22 women´s centers, allowing for the better identification of their problems and for identifying innovative and attainable solutions. With the support of Development and Peace and the Trois-Rivières Solidarity Committee, CEPROSI was able to establish the Leadership School for Women, with the ob-jective of empowering and equipping female leaders in the development of critical and analytical skills, as well as the ability to drive political action and participate in decision-making spheres in the framework of their social organiza-tions, as agents of social change based on gender equality. Projects led by CEPROSI focus on enhancing the abilities allowing women to participate in bringing about the changes needed to improve their own living conditions and those of the population as a whole.

The Solidarity Committee also supports reciprocal internship programs. Young Canadian university gradua-tes have provided support to CEPROSI’s activities, while simultaneously increasing their own professional experience through working with women and youth. Upon their return to Canada, these young people contribute significantly to

the promotion of the initiatives undertaken by the Bolivian people in the fight for women’s rights and against violence.

As a non-profit organization with 27 years of experien-ce, CEPROSI has managed to establish inter-institutional cooperation with the Autonomous Municipal Government of La Paz, the Departmental Government, as well as with the Ministry of Health and other public and private institu-tions in the country.

CUSO INTERNATIONAL + BOLIVIAN MUNICIPALITIES = SOLUTIONS, SYNERGY, AND SUSTAINABILITY

Municipalities are important allies for the establishment of our development initiatives, allowing not only for the use of resources provided by public authorities to the benefit of young people and the environment, but also the partici-pation in the drafting of public policies in favour of these sectors.

Within the Youth Employability Program, the most suc-cessful initiative has been the development of Youth Em-ployment Centers (CJE), an initiative based on a Canadian model. With the involvement of local partner organizations, Cuso has established centers in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sucre and El Alto. “The Youth Center offers us free-of-charge services not found elsewhere, helping us figure out what we will do in the future. Sometimes our parents do not have these answers ...” (Oscar Soliz, CJE user in La Paz).

Over the past five years, and with the support of parti-cipating municipalities, free services have been provided to young people in career guidance, job search, and entrepre-neurship. In 2014, 5,145 users benefited. The municipalities of La Paz, Sucre, and Santa Cruz have included up to 80% of the CJE operational costs in their budget, and have linked CJEs services to other public services.

Another initiative developed successfully in conjunction with the Union of Chiquitano Municipalities (Roboré,

Lomerio, San Ignacio de Velasco, San Jose and Concepción) is the “Youth Entrepreneurial Culture in Chiquitania” pro-ject, carried out from 2010 to 2013 in order to improve the development of private ventures. The project had approxi-mately 1,800 direct and 5,000 indirect beneficiaries.

As part of the Natural Resources program, efforts have focused on the strengthening of the Chiquitano Model Forest, which aims at creating spaces of encounter between actors in the Chiquitano territory (municipalities, civil society, indigenous organizations and the private sector, among others) in order to improve the sustainable use of their natural resources. It is estimated that this work, un-dertaken through the Foundation for the Conservation of the Chiquitano Dry Forest, has directly benefited 6,000 and indirectly 31,000 people in the Chiquitano territory.

Together with organizations belonging to the Bolivian Youth Employment Network, Cuso has led the “Youth Em-ployment Forum”, with participation of municipalities.

As part of its National Volunteer program, Cuso International created linkages with municipa-lities for the promotion and the strengthening of actions by local volunteers.

Additionally, Cuso International has linked the technical support of its volunteers to the munici-pal demands and policies, following the belief that local initiatives have the best results if developed from within the local context, and who better than municipalities to propose solutions, develop actions and invest their resources sustainably.

Cuso International is a Canadian

NGO that has been promoting sustainable development in Bolivia through the provision

of technical assistance by international professional volunteers since 1970. In the past 45 years, Cuso has worked with local

civil society organizations, public institutions (Ministries, Governmental Departments, and Municipalities), Foundations, and other types

of institutions. Since 2009, Cuso International has been developing initiatives within its

Employability and Environment programs.

Development and Peace is an international development organisation located in Canada. Since

1967, it has participated in the implementation of 15 200 projects in the spheres of education,

peace building and human rights protection in 70 countries throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle

East and Latin America. In Bolivia, it supports women’s rights and the reinforcement of their local organisations. Development and Peace

also offers legal assistance to indigenous groups. This work is done in coordination with 4 local

partners: the “Yvy Averenda Legal Advisory and Social Assistance group” (Santa Cruz), the

“Center for Promotion and Integral Health” (CEPROSI) (La Paz), “The Team for Alternative Communications with Women” (Tarija), and the

“Popular Education Support Center” (Oruro).

and active citizenship training with an emphasis on the right to political participation of women and youth, etc.

Amongst results achieved is the “Women’s Municipal Summit”, a participative democratic workshop that has produced a gender equity agenda, together with plans, and concrete work projects to be incorporated into the annual Municipal Work Plan. This Summit has generated, among other concrete results, the “Comprehensive Care Program for Women in Situations of Violence” and the “Safe House for Women Victims of Violence”.

Another important success story generated by local organisations is the increase in the number of participants in the Huanuni neighbourhood watch, which now counts 70 incumbents and 70 alternates from community organisa-tions, divided into 9 committees.

In retrospectFor over 3 decades, CAEP`s actions, supported by

Development and Peace, have supported the processes of organization of men and women miners (palliris), members of mining cooperatives, as well as young people and children from rural communities of the mining district of Huanuni, as well as the neighbouring municipality of Poopó.

The Center, through different projects, has encouraged Huanuni residents to develop critical thinking and critical analysis of their reality, and reflect on the structural causes of injustice and social inequality.

MINING TOWN WOMEN EMPOWERED TO STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS*

Development and Peace has worked with the “Popular Education Support Center” (CAEP) since its very foundation in the 1980’s. CAEP’s actions predominantly target the strengthening of social organisations, particularly women´s groups, in the exercise of their rights.

CAEP works in the Municipality of Huanuni (Oruro), which is the most important tin mining center in Bolivia. Because of this, its population has been shaped by important migration dynamics – increasing from 19 420 inhabitants, based on the 2001 Census, to approximately 30 000 inhabi-tants according to the Census of 2012.

Due to its location in an industrial mining area, the population suffers from daily environmental contamination generated in the transfer of chemically treated minerals from the mill, the emission of mining-related environmental liabi-lities and air pollution.

In this context, active participation of women in public meetings is limited, poor in quality and unequal. Most of the time, women are relegated to household chores and are often victims of domestic violence. Huanuni has very high rates of violence against women and family breakdown.

Policy-Shaping ActivitiesAt the moment, CAEP is implementing a project focu-

sing on “the empowerment of women, neighbours, youth and their organisations to exercise their rights and impact on Huanuni’s Municipal policy”. This initiative includes work-shops on project development for municipal management, gender-inclusive local budget planning, development of proposals for the Municipal Development Plan, leadership

PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CANADA AND BOLIVIA

In the municipality of Cliza, water management presents the structural axis of the LED strategy. The Canadian municipality of Truro trained farmers in the use of low-cost irrigation systems, formed trainers and supported produc-tion diversification. This work was also complemented with a study on water resources. “Once the irrigation system had been installed, I realized the amount of water and time we were saving; I am thinking of installing a fertigation system to benefit from it, watering and fertilizing the plants at the same time, thus increasing the production of each peach and apple plot” says Jaime Crespo, an agricultural producer from Cliza.

The Tiquipaya municipality proposed to improve the terms and conditions of use of the Khora Parc by means of strategic and sustainable touristic development. To that effect, Fredericton experts have been providing support to the tourism sector. This project was complemented by activities encouraging entrepreneurship and training in business management.

to the MPED program, we were able to obtain the neces-sary training and are witnessing the positive effects now. We are already better organized, our work place looks better, and we understand the technicalities of costs, volumes and other aspects that result in a better production, and, conse-quently, better commercialization. Our overall income has increased.”

In Padilla, with the support of the Municipality of Cor-ner Brook, LED has been the driver of synergies between the public and private sectors, resulting in the creation of the Municipal Productive Economic Council. Young entre-preneurs received training and formed part of the ASEMPA Entrepreneurs’ Association.

Moreover, the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Municipal Administrators has been working with the As-sociation of Municipalities of Cochabamba (AMEDECO) on strategies related to institutional strengthening and the provision of services to its members.

The FCM, through the technical contribution of Ca-nadian municipalities via the MPED program, helps create environments favourable to efficient local governance and sustainable economic development mindful of gender equity, thereby strengthening Bolivia´s associative municipal system.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN BOLIVIA BECOME MILK PRODUCERS

Since 1999, the LÉGER FOUNDATION has been supporting a dairy production project in the upper Bolivian plateau in collaboration with our partner, Asociación Multidisciplinaria Agroambiental Sostenible (AMULTIAGROS). Created by a multidisciplinary team that reinforces local organizations, AMULTIAGROS assists indigenous populations with agricultural production and commercialization to aid in the institutional and organizational development of groups of producers. AMULTIAGROS offers viable solutions to the problems of extreme poverty encountered in rural and urban areas. Through the support of the LÉGER FOUNDATION and AMULTIAGROS, the dairy producer’s federation in the province of Los Andes (FEPROLEA) helps 2,000 affiliated producers. Considering an average of five people per family, there are 10,000 indirect beneficiaries from improved milk commercialization and milk production.

Elena, who has been a dairy producer for 15 years, is a perfect example of this project’s success. Before, Elena used to get up at two or three in the morning to milk her cows. With the AMULTIAGROS project, the group of producers that Elena belongs to was able to purchase a milk storage tank. Milk is now collected near production sites, and Elena can milk her cows at reasonable hours without having to travel anywhere.

The Léger Foundation supports

initiatives that seek to create concrete positive impact on the lives of

vulnerable and marginalized populations. Without limiting the means of action and the objectives of

organizations supported, the Léger Foundation seeks to achieve two key results: reducing vulnerability with regards to food, economic as well as physical

and environmental security, and the social inclusion of marginalized populations in terms of their access

to public services, social reintegration, protection and participation.

The international programming of the Léger Foundation extends to 9 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. In these countries, some twenty

projects receive direct technical and financial support in coordination with experienced local partners. In Bolivia, the Léger Foundation, in

collaboration with the Asociación Multidisciplinaria Agroambiental Sostenible (AMULTIAGROS), is

implementing a project supporting the production of milk in the Andean highlands, with the

participation of 60 Aymara communities of the Los Andes Province in the La Paz department.

AMULTIAGROS also runs workshops on animal health, entrepreneurship and self-esteem for this group of dairy

producers. Milk production is now the main source of income for Elena’s family. This business helps pay for the schooling of Elena’s two boys and helps the family get adequate health care, buy land, and pay for their own house. Elena has become an example of dedication in her group.

The Baptist Organization for Social Development (OBADES)1 is the fruit of the Baptist Church in Bolivia. It was officially established in 2002 and has implemented

social and community development projects benefiting children, teenagers, and families at

risk. The organization promotes 3 fundamental principles: love, stewardship and unity, thereby

helping families attain better quality of life based on Christian principles and values.

Mrs. Isidora’s husband is imprisoned in the San Se-bastian jail. They have three young children participating in OBADES’ “Friendship House”, a project which, in coordination with the Departmental Service for Social Management (SEDEGES), provides comprehensive care - education, health, nutrition and spiritual development - for children and adolescents living with their families in the Cochabamba prisons. Given their low income, families are grateful to the project for all the support they receive.

Children and adolescents working on the streets of the city of Cochabamba also receive comprehensive care through the “Jireh” project. Additionally, the “Comprehen-sive Care for Children and Adolescents at Risk” project sup-ports the schooling of children and the technical training and skill-development of adolescents participating in the Friendship House and Jireh projects.

In the municipalities of Mizque, Presto, and Yotala of the departments of Cochabamba and Chuquisaca, OBA-DES contributes to the prevention and the control of the

Chagas disease, through integral strategies focusing on edu-cating citizens on the dangers of this disease, conducting blood tests, providing treatment and promoting prevention techniques. The “Chagas Prevention” project works in coordination with hospitals and municipal governments through cooperation agreements and the pooling of resou-rces for the benefit of rural families. The main financial commitment relates to the improvement of housing of the low-income population, so as to prevent infestation by the “vinchuca”, the insect that carries and transmits the disease. Mr. Adrian (41 years old) lives in the community of Takho Takho in the province of Mizque. Himself, his son and his wife all tested positive for Chagas and are now in treatment and have received housing improvements.

The “Quechua Literacy Project” supports adult wo-men living in rural areas of the Soracachi municipality in the Oruro Department through instruction in reading and writing in their own language. Mrs. Delia C. of Cachi Cachi Soracachi community had little knowledge of reading and writing in Quechua, but given her interest and participation in the project was able to learn to read and write and now feels very motivated, having also become a leader in her Church.

Finally, in the Cocapata municipality of the Cochabam-ba Department, the “Sustainable Agricultural Production” project promotes and encourages the agricultural poten-tial of producers in rural areas, developing value chains, while promoting the sustainable management of natural resources.

1 OBADES is supported by the Canadian Baptist Church whose relation to Bolivia dates back to its first missions in 1898.

Founded in 1973, Oxfam Quebec is a Canadian NGO,

a member of the international Oxfam Family, and shares the

same values with the 17 other Oxfam affiliates, working in over 90 countries. Its vision is one of a just world free of poverty. At Oxfam, we

believe that poverty is not inevitable, but is a product of injustice. Present in Bolivia since

1988, the organization’s focus lies in sustainable economic development, civic participation

and the fight against violence, with current programmatic focus on the empowerment of youth and the empowerment of women and

their right to live without violence. Oxfam is working in the municipalities of El Alto, La Paz,

Cochabamba and Sucre.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION OF YOUTH TOWARDS QUALITY EMPLOYMENT

Offering support to accompany and encourage the civic participation of young women and men is a priority for Oxfam. We focus on developing those abilities enabling them to claim their rights, become active citizens and open up participatory spaces, generating changes having positive impact on their present and their future.

Since 2012, and inspired by “Youth-led Development”, Oxfam, in collaboration with its partners, has launched the organization of three municipal events related to the civic participation of young people on the topic of youth em-ployment. Based on its experience, Oxfam conceptualized and systematized the principles and methodology utilized in a comprehensive document providing guidelines on effective participation of youth in collective initiatives1.

In 2014, an Organization Commitee2 part of the Bolivian Youth Employment Network, in collaboration with municipalities, conducted 5 municipal forums in La Paz, El Alto, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Sucre. The goal was to open up the debate and contribute to an agenda of proposals responding to the precariousness of youth employment. A process was implemented which included the participation of all actors3 in all processes, thus allowing them to appropriate the proposals and become part of the solutions. These spaces allowed youth to develop proposals to be implemented gradually and take part in the “National Youth Employment Forum”, where representatives of all actors agreed on a common agenda, with a series of initiatives outlined in the National Forum´s Memoir.4

The support of Canadian organizations has been key in these processes, not only when it comes to financial support, but also in their significant contribution in the implementation of the events. Cuso International, SCI, and FCM5 have been key agents, offering both financial support

and providing volunteers. This experience demonstrates the importance of executing coordinated actions that favour the achievement of stronger impact through Canadian coope-ration.

IMPROVING HEATH AND THE INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT OF MOTHERS AND CHILDREN

For Plan, children are at the center of everything the orga-nization does. They are people in the process of growing up, who have capacities and rights, and who must be respected and protected.

With Canadian support, Plan International Inc. Bolivia is implementing the Active Communities for Healthy Mothers and Children (CAMINAS) project. This project covers 25 rural municipalities in 5 departments of the country (Chuquisaca, Potosí, Cochabamba, La Paz and Oruro). CA-MINAS created a new approach to health, through linking health facilities and local authorities with the community, its grassroots organizations, mothers, fathers and children under five. In this manner, it promotes the management and care favouring health and an integral development of mothers and children through actions coordinated across different sectors. The project also establishes strategic allian-ces for coordinated efforts on the following social determi-nants comprising the project:• Comprehensive attention to prevalent childhood diseases.• Nutrition.• Early infant development. • Water and sanitation.• Food security and nutrition.• Sexual and reproductive rights.• Risk management.

Activity development focused on integrating gender equality and protection as part of the approach.

In this context, CAMINAS strengthens the abilities of municipal and community actors, allowing them to assume the tasks related to health promotion, integral maternal de-velopment, neonatal and infant illnesses prevention, and to discuss causes and consequences through joint dialogue and work with excluded populations, such as pregnant mothers, and girls and boys under five.

“With the support of CAMINAS, we, men and women alike, are more prepared to care for the health of our chil-dren and feed them better. Women are now more organized and men listen to us and value us in meetings, ask for our suggestions when there is a water, development, nutrition or health problem, and we solve these problems in our com-munities together.” Bernardina, mother of an infant girl. Chuquisaca Department.

The organization partnered with the Ministry of Health, the departmental health services and municipalities, working jointly in project implementation and on strengthening health policies as crucial aspects of the project’s sustaina-bility. Results are analyzed periodically together with health workers, so as to to improve strategies, respecting the established project governance structure based on local and national committees.

Thanks to Canadian support, Plan International Inc. Bolivia, via the CAMINAS project, promotes the effective participation of the family and community, ensuring the attention of public servants so as to improve the integral development and health of mothers and children, transfor-ming the lives of these populations.

“Thanks to Plan’s training and that of the health center’s doctor, I learned the importance of a well-balanced diet for children which varies according to their age. I am now using what I have learned with my own son and can see that he is healthier” Mr. Modesto Paco (father from the CALA CALA community).

Plan International Inc. is an international humanitarian

organization dedicated to childhood development. It is a non-profit

organization with no religious, political, or governmental affiliations. Sponsorship of

children is its fundamental pillar.

Save the Children International is a non-profit NGO with no political or religious

affiliations. Our fundamental objective is the active defence of children’s rights. This year, we are celebrating 30 years of work

in Bolivia with the objective of improving the lives of children and teenagers at risk. We are currently working in five areas of

intervention: Education, Health, Livelihoods, Emergencies, and Protection. We have

projects in 7 departments, all except Pando and Tarija.

CHILDREN LEAD THE WAY PROGRAM

The program was developed to ensure indigenous children and youth, as well as working children, access to quality education. The program has benefited 6,000 girls and boys between the ages of 6 and 18, 250 youth between the ages of 14 and 18, and 1,000 teachers in 70 educational communities. Its main themes are child labour and intra/intercultural and multilingual education. The deployment strategy is based on partnerships established with indige-nous organizations and organizations of child and ado-lescent workers. The program supports working children, promoting access to quality education and the improvement of employment opportunities. To achieve this, it supports the development of productive skills in schools and works directly to strengthen the efforts of the child workers` organization - the Bolivian Union of Child and Adolescent Workers (UNATSBO) on issues of participation, organiza-tion and rights advocacy.

“Without the financial support of SCI and the guidance on the NATs’ role, we (UNATSBO) wouldn’t be able to mobilize ourselves within the organization... We therefore very much appreciate SCI`s support.” Eddy Dávalos, Coor-dinator of UNATSBO.

The program is located in six of Bolivia´s departments: La Paz (El Alto), Oruro (Challapata, Quillacas, Hua-

ri, Salinas Garci Mendoza and Pampa Aullagas), Potosi (Arampampa, Chayanta and Ravelo), Santa Cruz (Camiri and Lagunillas), Chuquisaca (Huacareta, Monteagudo, Muyupampa, Poroma, San Lucas and Sucre) and Beni (San Ignacio de Mojos). Our partners, responsible for the direct implementation of the program, are: TUKUY, K’wideand, TEKO, Qhara Qhara Pusy Suya, CCCh, JAKISA, TIMI and Chasqui.

The program is entirely funded by Save the Children Canada, who in turn receives funds from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), and exists in 5 countries: Bolivia, Peru, Nicaragua, Kenya and Burkina Faso. We are now in the second phase of a program which initiated in 2006. Save the Children Canada provides technical support on issues such as protection, education, gender, monitoring and communication.

VI has principally concentrated its efforts on the strengthe-ning of companies working in the agricultural sector, with the objective of supporting sustainable economic develop-ment in rural areas of the country.

In Chuquisaca, for example, it has contributed to the creation and the development of a new agricultural industry focusing on the production of spices and seasonings such as oregano. The most important result of these interven-tions has been the improvement of income of the families involved and therefore the improvement of their quality of life, which is SOCODEVI`s core focus.

AROUND 80 THOUSAND BENEFICIARIES AND MORE THAN 33 MILLION DOLLARS INVESTED ARE PART OF THE COMMITMENT OF THE CANADIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR PARTNER WORLD VISION IN BOLIVIA

World Vision Canada has been present in Bolivia since 1995, contributing to the integral development of chil-dren and teenagers, as well as families and communities. It invested close to 33 million dollars in six municipalities in the departments of Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, through the implementation of 8 programs of Area Development (PDA) in health, education, economic development, food security, child protection, gender, and humanitarian assistan-ce in emergency situations.

Based on an approach focusing on the development and integral protection of children, and aligned with the national and local public policy priorities, World Vision Bolivia has become a process facilitator together with authorities and local leaders.

José Fernando, 8 years old, was born in Arani, capital of the Valle Alto of the Cochabamba Municipality, which has adverse weather and a short rain season, making the area’s production potential low.

José and his brothers live with their father Ausberto (34 years old), who rears laying hens. Talking about his small business, Ausberto comments: “Every day, we collect fifty eggs. Most are for sale, as 6 eggs are enough for our own nutrition. Jose likes to eat them fried and scrambled. The egg sales allow me to pay for my children’s school supplies”.

The rearing of laying hens project has yielded great nutritional benefits for children and increased the inco-me of families, thanks to an agreement signed between the Arani poultry association and the municipality for the provision of school breakfasts in the region. Currently, it is a self-sustaining project in which World Vision Bolivia is no longer engaged.
