Development of the Central Corridor Project (Central Corridor)

General

The goal of the project was to improve the livelihoods of 36,000 poor households, indigenous and peasant communities, women and small-scale entrepreneurs in a strip of territory between the Amazon, the mountains and the coast, in the northern centre of the country. This will be achieved by providing more opportunities for participatory planning and by developing entrepreneurial capacities, managing natural resources. One of the project's specific objectives is to provide support to beneficiary groups to improve their legal and land tenure situation, taking into account gender dimensions as well as their managerial skills to manage new initiatives and businesses.
