Proyecto INCASBONO+ - GIZ Colombia (EN)

Observations

The INCABONO+ project is part of a broader global initiative led by GIZ: INCAS Global+. The Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains (INCAS) initiative is a global program aimed at developing innovative solutions to key challenges in sustainable agricultural supply chains. This includes, in particular, the protection of natural resources and the generation of income to ensure the well-being and dignity of farmers. It also seeks to strengthen trade partnerships with German companies to open up new market opportunities and ensure economic sustainability. The project aims to promote the sustainable development of rubber, coffee, cocoa, and palm oil value chains in the Colombian departments of Caquetá and Meta (GIZ, n.d.a). INCAS Global+ runs from 2019 to 2028. The program works closely with businesses, civil society, and government agencies. It addresses the structural causes of poverty and inequality while simultaneously tackling the global challenge of climate change. To this end, it acts where internationally operating companies dominate the market and have the greatest influence on supply chains, as well as at the production sites. The collaboration spans multiple countries and actors along the supply chains, from international companies to smallholder farms (GIZ, n.d.b).
