STRATEGY
The countryside has been, for several decades, the main stage of the Colombian armed conflict, and cocoa farming regions happen to be in the most affected territories, not only by war, but also by yields of illegal crops. Gender, inclusion, and youth are approaches addressed transversally from the different components of the Project.
