PROJECTS

From the territory to action: initiatives with purpose, management and evidence.

Here we present initiatives that the Foundation promotes, formulates or coordinates based on needs identified in communities. We clearly distinguish what is under management, development or preparation for implementation.

Transparency by Design

Every project should explain the problem it addresses, where it operates, what it seeks to achieve and its actual status.

ACTIVE PORTFOLIO

Projects and Priority Initiatives.

The Foundation builds its portfolio progressively. Published statuses avoid presenting as completed anything that is still in formulation, management or coordination.
