Good practices of initiative:

Formation of a genetic nucleus for the repopulation of South American camelids (alpacas) in the binational territory of the Pueblo de los Pastos, northern border of Ecuador and southern Colombia.

Relevance
It measures the alignment of the initiative with existing policy frameworks in the country. In addition, the scalability of the initiative to other realities and geographies is valued.

Cartagena Agreement Agricultural Development Program This project represented a strategic initiative that is directly aligned with the principles and objectives of the Agricultural Development Program of the Andean Community, established under the framework of the Cartagena Agreement. The proposal promotes the conservation and genetic improvement of an emblematic species of high Andean systems, strengthening the livelihoods of traditional rural communities that share historical, cultural, and productive ties on both sides of the border. In addition, it fostered sustainable, inclusive, and territorially grounded production that values ancestral knowledge and promotes subregional integration in intercultural contexts. This binational approach also reinforces cross-border cooperation and the alignment of policies for sustainable rural development in areas of high social and climate vulnerability.
