Our vision of Development

Sustainable Development in the Andean Region

The experience of 20 years development work linked to the concept of the Sustainable Development as stated in the Agenda 21 after the Rio Conference of the UN build our view of development in the Andean Region of South America.

Sustainable Development is to be achieved by the interaction of economic, environmental and society aspects. Hence, we also use this scheme to define our aims and the products and services we offer.

Environmental Engineering

Implementation of processes and technologies for rural production projects, under aspects of conservation and eventually recuperation of the natural resources of the region. These include principally:

• Agroforestry systems, ecologic production, agrotourism, agroindustry.
• Alternative Sustainable Development
• Introduction of renewable energy systems: solar energy / photovoltaic systems
• Introduction of multipurpose excavators

Financial Engineering

Activation of the economic process in production projects via funding from international cooperation (technical and financial) and from private cooperation (direct investments) under strong criteria of enterprise efficiency. These include principally:

• Mechanisms of Public-Private-Partnership (PPP)
• Orientation of the production of goods and services to internal and external markets.
• Obtention of an optimum mix of "rentability / pay-back period"

Social Engineering

Promotion and consolidation of human capital, by means of an equilibrated and equitative development of the existing social actors around the production projects, considering micro and meso levels on a regional scale. These include principally:

• Technical assistance / extension / education of the population segments to promote regional Sustainable Development (farmers, teachers, youth, women)
• Prevention of the production and illegal abuse of drugs
• Modernisation of institutions: promotion of the rural small enterprise
• Integration of country border regions
