| Law 144 of the Agricultural Community Productive Revolution in Bolivia | The ACCESOS/ASAP Program demonstrated high relevance in relation to the Law of the Agricultural Community Productive Revolution No. 144 (2011). The fundamental objective of this law is to achieve food sovereignty in conditions of safety and quality for the well-being of Bolivians, through the strengthening of sustainable family agriculture. The Program was closely aligned with these objectives by focusing on the development of capacities for the sustainable management of natural resources, the promotion of agricultural and non-agricultural economic enterprises, and the promotion of financial inclusion in rural communities. The Program's activities, such as intercommunal competitions for the management of natural resources and productive economic ventures, contributed directly to strengthening family and community agricultural production, improving food security and income of rural families. Additionally, the focus on climate change adaptation and risk management aligned with the law's emphasis on sustainable production and the protection of natural resources. | National | Bolivia | Link |
