Inclusive Development of the Green Tara Value Chain in Bolivia (SAYARIY)

Implemented by SOCODEVI, the SAYARIY project will consolidate the inclusive development of the green tara value chain in 6 out of 9 departments of Bolivia, which was successfully initiated within the framework of project PROMAVI (2016-2022), and will extend its scope. Lasting six years, SAYARIY is a fundamental initiative to guarantee the sustainability of this value chain in the country which requires the participation of a greater number of producing families, the contribution of profitable, sustainable and inclusive entities to ensure collection, processing and marketing of tara and the support of government authorities. Thus, in a context where families in rural Bolivia are hard hit by climate change, SAYARIY will improve the resilience of 3,000 rural indigenous families, in particular 1,800 women, through the inclusive development of the green value chain of the Tara. Based on the highly promising results of PROMAVI, more than 35 years of experience of SOCODEVI in Bolivia, as well as consultations carried out in the areas targeted by the project, three development outcomes have been identified that will enable rural indigenous families are better able to cope and adapt to adverse effects and shocks (climate, pandemic, food insecurity, migration, etc.).
