SIPAS WIAY - Promoting economic enterprises of young indigenous women in three cities of Cochabamba Rural-to-urban migration is increasing in Bolivia. This challenges rural communities that are losing their labor force and urban communities that need to absorb new people. In many cases, young Indigenous women spend most of the year in cities while staying committed to their rural hometowns and spending some time there. This represents an opportunity to connect markets in cities and rural communities. The IAF supports community-led approaches to expanding economic opportunities for historically marginalized groups. Our grantee Fundacin para el Desarrollo Integral Boliviano (FUNDEIB) is working with grassroots women's organizations to pilot an approach to strengthen community economic enterprises that these young Indigenous women manage with rural women producers. Through training, technical assistance, and seed capital for community enterprises in three provinces of Cochabama, FUNDEIB will enhance Indigenous women's economic inclusion while also raising awareness of women's rights and rural issues, promoting Indigenous cultural traditions, and enhancing both rural and urban food security.

It will also develop civil society organizations' capacity to engage with international cooperation agencies and other funders and partners to support civil society in Bolivia.
