USAID's Land for Prosperity Activity: Year 2 Work Plan

The Activity will focus on building on the groundwork laid in its first year of implementation, despite a challenging environment. The approach will be integrated and territorial, with land governance at its center. This will enable peace through rural development and licit economic participation. The Activity will work in selected regions with the Government of Colombia (GOC) to promote land governance. This will involve innovative approaches to formalization, particularly in the context of illicit crop substitution. Environmental considerations will also be integrated into economic growth initiatives. The Activity will focus on promoting sustainable land use and management practices, as well as supporting the development of local capacities. The Activity will work closely with various stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and private sector partners. This will involve collaboration and coordination to achieve common goals and objectives. The Activity will also provide technical assistance and support to help build the capacity of local institutions and communities.
