The Alliance Program (Programa Aliados)
was formulate and is being implemented based on the experience of
MARENASS. It is a project of the Peruvian Government, which started its
activities at the end of 2007. The project is financed through World
Bank loan.
The total investment amounts to US$34.93 million, which is the greatest
single investment yet in projects of the Pachamama Raymi family.
The objective of
the Alliance Program is to improve the assets and economic conditions
of the farmer families within the project area. The Program will
promote access to markets and the creation of new human, institutional
and infrastructural capital assets, and sustainable use of natural
advantages.
The program has a five year duration.
Its project area comprises 43 provinces, in six departments (Apurímac,
Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Junín, Pasco and Huánuco). It is estimated that
875 rural communities and 620 rural production organizations will take
part in the program. It is estimated that the program will attend
53,600 families in total, of which most are now considered “poor”. See their manual of operations and procedures (pdf) (Spanish).
