In Colombia's Caribbean region, COVID-19 has exacerbated an already precarious situation for young people: youth unemployment has reached record highs and a lack of available virtual schooling options has led many young people to desert the formal education system. In Colombia, this often translates into young people being recruited by armed groups or participating in other illicit trades. However, it can also lead young people to creating their own economic opportunities, starting small businesses, and mobilizing for positive change. The IAF supports young entrepreneurs in growing their small businesses to assist in economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Partnership to Pilot an Indicator Framework for Sustainable Agriculture in Latin America A PARTNERSHIP TO PILOT AN INDICATOR FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN LATIN AMERICA Farmers are often absent from discussions about how policies and programs impact sustainable agricultural production. At the IAF, we are investing in a regional effort, in conjunction with the University of British Columbia, that will give voice to farmers and directly support them in collecting, analyzing, and presenting data that they can incorporate into their operations to manage their farms more efficiently. Asociación de Productores Orgánicos (APRO) established the first recognized participatory certification system in Paraguay and is connecting producers directly to consumers to increase farmers incomes and consumers food security. It provides training and technical assistance programs to provide high-quality certified organic products to national and international consumers. The results of this regional project will inform agricultural support organizations, government extension experts, farmer groups, and policy-makers with context-specific data about how to encourage the transition to sustainable agricultural practices to improve food security, enhance farmer livelihoods, and minimize environmental degradation.
