Camelid Complex Strengthening Program in the Altiplano

The program aims to improve the living conditions of families linked to the Camelids Production Complex, and increase the productivity of their economic production organizations through sustainable management of natural resources in 47 municipalities of La Paz, Oruro, and Potosí. It focuses on family and community production units comprising 30,000 families of producers, artisans, and microentrepreneurs. In line with the strategic objectives of the funding agency (IFAD), the program seeks to directly address the situation of women by advancing their economic empowerment, ensuring equal opportunities for decision-making, balanced workloads, and the enjoyment of economic and social benefits. The program has three major components: C1: Primary production base and natural resource management; C2: Processing and marketing; and C3: Access to financial services. The program is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development and Lands and its decentralized implementing entities.
