The methodology Pachamama Raymi was developed at the end of the eighties in Peru, in the Rural Development Program PRODERM, financed by the Dutch Foreign Cooperation and the European Union and the Peruvian government. The main intellectual author and promoter of the methodology was Willem van Immerzeel. He introduced and further developed the methodology in Bolivia, Guatemala and Chile, adding new elements, improving others, and adjusting it to specific cultural and institutional realities.
The Pachamama Raymi methodology has demonstrated its scalability showing it can be applied in micro and mega projects. Scaling up was first demonstrated in projects financed by the European Union (from PRODERM, to PAC-II, and ALA 94/89) and later by several IFAD projects (MARENASS, Sierra Sur and others).
Many now ask us about the origins and history of Pachamama Raymi. In this section, we present, document and illustrate it wherever possible.
