INTERINSTITUTIONAL COORDINATION. TCE will work to establish adequate institutional cooperation among the allies, USAID partners, the private sector, and the Colombian government to maximize results and achieve the objectives of the agreement. To reach the above, TCE participates in workgroups, encourages communication with all stakeholders, helps to create committees, and shares the lessons learned. Further, TCE collaborates with other USAID programs: GDAs and contracts, coordinating efforts with those alliances present in the same geographical area. We will continue to participate in the Technical Cacao Roundtable, regional meetings of the Bajo Cauca, CUEE Antioquía, and meetings of the National Government to combine efforts in the regions. This year's schedule includes: • Coordinate efforts with the PMA to impact the territory. Cacao is one of the PMA- supported agricultural activities, where the region of Bajo Cauca and Tumaco are well known to both programs. TCE will continue to seek additional grants and funding from the GOC and other international entities, focusing on those that promote the productive, environmental, and associative sector. Close contact with other institutions such as Embassies, Governments Departmental, and Private Banks will remain.
INTERINSTITUTIONAL COORDINATION. The Xxxxx Foundation seeks to take advantage of the experience and knowledge that the allies have built since this is fundamental for TCE. In addition to the above, each cooperation alliance that can be ratified, allows a better adoption of the agreement in each of the zones. Therefore, TCE is working to generate during 2019, an adequate institutional cooperation between the allies and the Colombian government to achieve the objectives of the agreement. To achieve what has been described, participation in work groups, communication with government entities, establishment of committees and socialization of the lessons learned, are contemplated. In Annex 4 - Map of Actors - the identified actors are mentioned, using the methodology of the RACI matrix, to determine their role: Responsible, Approver, Consulted, Informed/Invited. TCE is related to other USAID programs, mainly with the other GDAs and PMA, which have programs in the regions selected in this agreement. In order to understand the national, departmental and municipal context of each of the municipalities where TCE will develop its strategies, it is necessary to promote collaboration with the Colombian government, headed by its Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, governor offices of the 3 departments where intervention will take place, and the mayors of the 15 municipalities, as follows:
INTERINSTITUTIONAL COORDINATION. With the purpose of achieving an effective execution of this Agreement, the parties will carry out a permanent coordination, verification and supervision through their officials in charge, designating as coordinators: By THE USMP: The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture By CAPECO: The Academic Direction In all the actions derived from this agreement, the parties agree that the personnel of each institution that is commissioned for the joint performance of each action will continue in an absolute manner under the direction and dependency of the institution with which they have established their labor relationship, regardless to be providing other services outside of it, or in the facilities of the institution to which he was commissioned.

We will continue to participate in the Technical Cocoa Roundtable, regional meetings of the Lower Cauca Antioqueño, and meetings of the National Government to combine efforts in the regions. This year's schedule includes: • Coordinate efforts with the PMA to impact the territory. Cacao is one of the PMA-supported agricultural activities, and the region of Bajo Cauca and Tumaco are well known to both programs. PMA has worked on strengthening some cocoa associations, such as AFAPUL, which was intervened by PMA. Nevertheless, TCE can continue where PMA left off since there is always room for improvement. It will be critical to coordinate efforts and not work during the same time to avoid saturating the associations with meetings, embrace different activities, and that final objective "mega" of the organization remains the same. • Coordinate with GDA Empropaz, led by Bancamía, to design a credit for cacao producers to finance primarily fertilizers, which are the counterpart of the producers, taking into account their need for a medium-term grace period until a stable production is achieved. TCE will seek grants from the GOC, mainly those focused on the productive sector, for additional funding required by the activities on the farms of the producers, for example, Irrigation Systems in the region of Urabá that has extended periods of drought during the year, or fertilizers in the area of Bajo Cauca which has high transport costs. Close contact will be maintained with other institutions such as Embassies, Governments Departmental, and Private Banks.
