PBI-Colombia accompanies Justice and Peace on visit to Putumayo, including with two days with ADISPA

The Peace Brigades International-Colombia Project has posted on social media:

“At the end of April, we accompanied @justiciapazcolombia in Putumayo. For a week, together with the Inter-Church Commission for Justice and Peace (JyP), we first visited the Nasa people of Putumayo, comprised of 38 communities in Putumayo and one in Nariño, with an approximate population of 8,000 Nasa indigenous people. Then, during our visit, we learned about the organizational processes of the Ancurá Civil Society Reserve Zone (ZRSC) and the Putumayo Peasant Association (ACADISP). Finally, we spent two days with the Association for Integral and Sustainable Development of the Amazonian Pearl (ADISPA) in the participatory development of its Sustainable Development Plan, aimed at improving the quality of life, protecting the environment, and strengthening the organizational structure in a territory of more than 22,000 hectares in the Amazon.

These spaces allowed us to learn about and listen directly to the communities, their processes, and their needs, as well as share who we are at PBI, our mandate, and the work we do.”

We continue to follow this.
