We Conclude the Workshop Series of the Capacity-Building Program for Collective Impact
On Friday, October 24, we successfully concluded the workshop series of the “Capacity-Building Program for Collective Impact.” Through this initiative, we shared knowledge and ideas on socio-ecological restoration, bioeconomy, and community monitoring with communities from the municipalities along the Cesar Life Corridor. This program was carried out in partnership with the Alma-Natura Consortium.
A total of 16 sessions were held in the municipalities of El Banco, Magdalena (8 sessions), and La Jagua de Ibirico, Cesar (8 sessions). Throughout this process, we engaged local communities, allied organizations, and key stakeholders in a training journey that helped strengthen capacities in participatory monitoring, community-based land management, and informed decision-making with a socio-ecological approach.
We were joined by experts such as Juan José López from ASPROCIG; Carlos Rodríguez from Tropenbos Colombia; and Sergio García Jiménez, Laura Rincón, and Nicol Pacheco from CREER, among others. These specialists shared key knowledge on topics including ecological restoration using the nucleation approach, territorial analysis of productive chains and the integration of added value, sustainable production, biofertilizer practices, and the development of monitoring protocols. All of these contribute to strengthening both environmental and productive management through the use of technological tools to track restoration efforts and productive systems.
On October 18 in El Banco (Magdalena) and October 24 in La Jagua (Cesar), we celebrated the graduation of participants who successfully completed this training journey, acknowledging their commitment and leadership throughout the process.
