The Aguaje Sustentable project, implemented by Progettomondo and INPET, contributed to the strengthening of the aguaje value chain in native communities in Loreto, promoting sustainable management practices, conservation of Amazonian ecosystems and economic inclusion. Through the strengthening of productive organisations, the promotion of traceability and the promotion of circular economy models, the initiative supported access to sustainable markets and generated new opportunities for local communities, contributing to the protection of biodiversity and the sustainable development of the Peruvian Amazon.

This initiative, driven by Proinpa, promotes the transition towards a model of regenerative agriculture and circular economy that strengthens the competitiveness of the value chain of Royal Quinoa, actively incorporating women and young entrepreneurs from indigenous communities.

In the Southern Cone of Bolivia, the 3i Bolivia initiative promotes triple impact business models through sustainable economic practices, innovation and deforestation-free value chains.

The action seeks to strengthen the capacities of MSMEs and producer organisations to incorporate technical skills, digital transformation, green entrepreneurship and access to finance, thus fostering a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable economy.
