Description:
Indigenous and small farmer communities on both sides of the Ecuador-Colombia border have limited access to basic public services like water and electricity due to geographic barriers and social marginalization. This exclusion leads to poverty and increasing migration to urban areas, negatively impacting social cohesion. The IAF supports efforts to expand economic opportunity and unlock private, public, and community resources for grassroots development. Our grantee the Instituto de Ecologa y Desarrollo de las Comunidades Andinas (IEDECA) partners with Indigenous communities in the provinces of Pichincha and Imbabura, Ecuador, and the Gran Cumbal reservation in Nario, Colombia, to install advanced irrigation systems, train communities in natural resource management, and support producers transition to sustainable agriculture to increase income and improve food security.This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the social inclusion of Indigenous peoples, women, and youth.
