Project Description
Organizations across Latin America and the Caribbean are propelling community-led approaches to sustainable agriculture, enterprise development and job skills, peacebuilding, and other key development issues. Through a cooperative agreement, MAKAIA will further advance this work by working with IAF grantees across the region to build a collaborative virtual community of practice, RedColaborar. Grantee partners will use the learning platform to generate and share knowledge, resources, and best practices to strengthen their organizational capacity and have an even greater impact on the communities they serve.
This initiative is part of the IAF’s broader efforts to promote community-led solutions to challenges and unlock private, public and community resources for grassroots development.
