📋 Tender Overview
The executive president of the National Commission for Development and Life Without Drugs Devida Ricardo Sobern held a working meeting with the mayor of the Yaguas district Putumayo province Loreto Claudio Shapiama Noteno in order to hear the problem of this border area and coordinate an articulated work with the different State institutions with the purpose of bringing integral and sustainable alternative development for the benefit of the Yaguas families.We are going to coordinate with the different entities of the State to bring support to the area and in the near future also integrate these families to alternative development which from Devida we promote today through a citizen social pact in the Andean Amazon region said Sobern who remarked that this binding pact seeks the consolidation and strengthening of the Comprehensive and Sustainable Alternative Development Budget Program Pirdais.Sobern specified that Devida works on the prioritization and targeting of eradication actions due to the presence of coca leaf cultivation on the lands of Indigenous Peoples Protected Natural Areas such as Yaguas National Park primary forests and border areas affected by the drug trafficking and illicit drug trafficking. A clear example is the Yaguas district which is located in a key area such as the border with Colombia and Brazil. It should be noted that Yaguas has approximately 1500 inhabitants who are located in 13 populated centers and in which are the indigenous communities of the Ticuna Bora Huitoto Peba - Yagua and Quechua ethnic groups.
