A new project of ICCO Cooperation in Colombia has been approved for signing by the European Union’s Trust Fund. In the project, farmer organizations will be strengthened as central agents in the construction of peace. The project will be carried out in the framework of the implementation of the peace accord, signed in November of 2016 between the Colombian government and the FARC. One of the proposals in this accord is to improve the economic conditions in the country and dignify the living conditions of the rural population, which are fundamental steps towards achieving a peace. This project will contribute to that.
