Gender Policies and Legal Framework in Colombia Sample Clauses

Gender Policies and Legal Framework in Colombia. ‌ Colombian national policy endorses equitable access to credit for men and women, regardless of ethnical roots and religion. However, there remains cultural barriers which see women having greater difficulty acquiring formal loans or lines of credit. Terra views this as a unique opportunity for itself and its implementing partners to work with communities and express the importance of a family crop, where mother, father, and adolescents all play a key role throughout harvest, processing and sale. This demonstrates that in the absence of gender and/or race distinctions small-holder farmers have the ability to produce a crop with a more sustainable business model. This partnership will seek to leverage Ley 731 (2002), for rural woman by supporting 1) access to finance (Chapter II), 2) participation of rural women in decision making bodies (Chapter 5), With the recent announcement of the peace treaty, the Colombian Government has announced it will establish financial systems to stimulate agriculture, where they hope to facilitate farmers with access to finance and thus incentivize the communities to grow crops and in turn develop agricultural value chains which would fall directly within the Terra Bella Colombia scope of work. Terra will attempt to help mobilize these resources to work with the identified project communities in order to engage private sector investment to develop commercial agriculture and boost economic rural investment in this sector and attempt to orient gender and social inclusion in a roundabout way.
