“Let this be the beginning of a great change in our region.” mentioned Magda Farro, vice-governor of the Regional Government of Cajamarca.
These meetings addressed the scope of the project in the three intervention basins: the Santa Basin (Huaraz), the Chancay-Lambayeque Basin (Cajamarca) and the Lower Huallaga and Paranapura Basin (San Martin). In addition, local initiatives for adaptation to climate change were identified and inter-institutional dialogue was promoted for the implementation of sustainable solutions. The events, which took place in Cajamarca, Huaraz and San Martin, were attended by Magda Farro, vice-governor of the Regional Government, as well as representatives of public and private institutions. These events were carried out by Profonanpe and the lead partners (Instituto de la Montaña; IMAR Costa Norte and CODEPISAM).

With the closing of these workshops, Cuencas Vivas reaffirms its commitment to environmental sustainability and adaptation to climate change, betting on an effective articulation between the public sector, civil society and international cooperation for a more resilient future.
