Mountain Partnership member Soluciones Prácticas (Practical Action) has signed an agreement with Asociación Integral San Antonio de Qutapiqiña to work on a project to strengthen local economic development and natural resource management in the Apolobamba Integrated Management Natural Area of the Bolivian Andes.

Supported by the European Union, the project will last 42 months and aims to increase the income of the 1,185 vicuña-farming families living in the area.

Soluciones Prácticas also sponsored a workshop to reinforce the legal power of the Natural Area’s rangers in December.
