Roots in Peru's High Rainforest – Rural communities - IOE
Elsa Vargas de Del Castillo produces plantain flour in Peru's High Rainforest. Not far from her, also in San Martin's region, Nancy Guerrero breeds guinea pigs. These activities have allowed them to improve their family income and their lives.
In this first episode, Roots has visited with the Independent Office for Evaluation some of the initiatives within the IFAD backed Strengthening Local Development in the Highlands and High Rainforest Areas Project. There, Elsa and Nancy talked about the changes generated by the projects they participate in, and about what is needed to increase and sustain the benefits.
Let´s listen to them!
Welcome to Roots, the Independent Office of Evaluation (IOE) podcast for rural communities.
Personal stories of people who participate in IFAD-funded projects evaluated independently allow us to stop, reflect and see what is working well, what is not, why, and what needs to be corrected. Beneficiaries' voices are references to improve projects intended to promote an inclusive and sustainable rural development. IOE listens to these voices and disseminates them through Roots, a podcast produced for a broader audience to share knowledge and learning amongst rural communities around the world. Roots travels with evaluators to IFAD-supported projects that help to change the lives of rural people and communities, bringing you a new voice from a different place on our planet once a month. IOE invites radio broadcasters to use our podcasts in their schedules of programmes.
