ICCO in Bolivia
ICCO in Bolivia
In Bolivia, ICCO promotes the economic empowerment and food security of vulnerable populations and the exercise of the rights of young people, indigenous people, peasants, women and children. It works to reduce inequality and generate better opportunities for excluded and marginalized populations. Together with its local counterparts and thanks to the support of international strategic partners such as Kerk In Actie and Edukans, it has consolidated models like Manq’a, Vuela Libre and Gran Chaco that promote economic entrepreneurship, respect for rights, job opportunities and technical training. It also strengthens and accelerates agro businesses that generate high social impact through Truvalu.
