Summary Program Information Program Title CISAL - Sustainable and Inclusive Communities in Latin America Program number D-000359-001 DFATD contribution $18,998,997 FCM In-Kind Contribution $2,097,102 Program Duration June 22, 2014 – May 31, 2020 Reporting Period April 1, 2018 – Sept 30, 2018

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has been the national voice of municipal governments in Canada since 1901. It is dedicated to improving the quality of life and sustainability of local communities by promoting strong, effective and accountable municipal government. Its members include close to 2,000 municipal governments, which represent over 90 per cent of Canada’s population, and 18 major provincial and territorial municipal associations. Since 1987 and with financial support from the Government of Canada, FCM has delivered international programs to support partnerships and exchanges between municipalities in Canada and municipal governments in more than 55 countries around the world. These projects have focused on issues such as decentralization, participatory governance, financial management, urban planning, service delivery, infrastructure, disaster response, environmental management, and local economic development (LED). FCM’s strength is its ability to draw upon thousands of Canadian municipal experts from Canada's largest cities, as well as from small urban and rural communities, local elected officials, and a network of consultants specialized in municipal development to provide the technical and professional expertise required in its international programs. It also benefits from various institutional relations with corporate partners and civil society networks among them, other Canadian executing agencies, which provide strategic support to our programming that is leveraged in many different ways. CISAL is a six-year project (2014-20) with a total budget of $CAD 21 million. This includes $CAD 19 million contributed by the Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and over $CAD 2 million contributed as in-kind time and resources by municipal professionals, elected officials and staff from participating Canadian municipalities and FCM.

The ultimate outcome of the project is for vulnerable groups within communities impacted by the mining sector to enjoy increased social benefits and sustainable, inclusive economic opportunities. The program aims to increase the local government’s ability to manage resources, to improve dialogue and transparency, and to promote sustainable local economic development.

Theory of Change: If Local Governments have a greater capacity to plan, manage, coordinate and deliver services in a participatory and transparent manner, then they can contribute to the inclusive and sustainable development of their communities by maximizing opportunities and minimizing impacts of mining activity.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

Executive Summary The present Semi-Annual Report (SAR) describes the progress in the first semester of the Fiscal Year (FY) 5 Annual Work Plan (AWP) covering the period of April 1st 2018 to September 30th, 2018.

Changes to Context In Peru the main contextual factor currently influencing program implementation is the municipal elections held on October 7th, both in terms of the lead up to elections as well as during the transition to newly elected officials. To ensure sustainability, the CISAL team has been building a relationship with the candidates and the incoming mayors and councilors. In Colombia, the influx of Venezuelan migrants has affected the partner municipalities in La Guajira. In Antioquia, there have been attacks on mining company representatives and several cases of homicides of Continental Gold representatives and contractors increasing security risks.

Progress on Activities and Outputs The governance (1000) activities have focused this period on accountability, transparency and gender-sensitive local management this semester. In Colombia, local leaders have finished training with the local universities. In Peru there is direct support to the municipal candidates and the outgoing elected officials to ensure a transparent transfer of power. The Network of Municipalities in Mining Contexts (REMEM) has been successful in advocating with the National Government of Colombia the adoption of the Work for Taxes mechanism, originating in Peru and now openly discussed by the new President Iván Duque of Colombia.

The local economic development (LED or 2000) activities have focused on supporting the Local governments (LG) to implement their LED plans and strengthen value chains. Ancash has worked on its tourism Value Chain with the Vive Ancash tourism package; Antioquia is working towards preparing local businesses to sell to the mine; in La Guajira a study was done to detail the components of the salt value chain and the perspectives and role of indigenous communities.

The 80 projects (51% women-led) from the first round of funding of the CISAL Fund are in the final stages of implementation. In Ancash and Antioquia, they are in the monitoring stage and many recipients have reported growth in income or employees. The second round of CISAL Funding has been launched in three regions (all but La Guajira). Efforts were made to increase the opportunities for women proponents in this second round in all regions. Workshops were held with women in each region to identify barriers and to provide direct assistance on how to formulate a good project or business idea.

In the collaboration (3000) stream activities focused on sharing good practices and success stories between the program stakeholders through various tools online, on the

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 radio, and through study tours and knowledge management (KM) activities. A study tour with a focus on women empowerment and inclusive local management brought women leaders to Fort St John, BC. A second Study Tour brought Colombia and Peruvian LED practitioners to Atlantic Canada to learn from the Geoparks and LED initiatives in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. A south-south study tour was organized bringing Antioquian LED practitioners to Ancash to experience the good practice in regional, multi-stakeholder engagement process to develop the Vive Ancash tourist package.

Operations The Program Steering Committee (PSC) meeting and field visit was held on June 20-24, 2018 in Cusco and the Annual Work Plan and budget approved in principle. However, FCM was later informed that, that GAC would only be able to make available approximately CAD$3.2M in funds, leaving a funding gap of CAD$1,154,188 for this fiscal year. They later informed FCM that if additional funds became available before March 2019, these funds would be prioritized for CISAL. GAC further clarified that the funding shortfall would be included in the budget for FY 5 (2019-20) and disbursed in early April 2019. The Finance and Operations Manager (FOM) has been on sick leave since May 21st. This role has been assumed by the Senior Accountant in Peru as interim FOM and additional assistance was hired to cover the role of the Senior Accountant. This measure has allowed the finance and administrative processes to proceed as normal with minimal impact. Spending is on track and as of the end of September the budget for this FY is at 48% execution.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

0. Introduction The present Semi-Annual Report (SAR) will describe the progress in the first semester of the Year 5 Annual Work Plan (AWP) covering the period of April 1st, 2018 to September 30th, 2018. The report has applied the new Global Affairs Canada (GAC) Reporting Guidelines circulated to GAC partners in July of this year and provides a brief overview of the regional contexts, an assessment of the progress on activities and outputs, and any operational issues. Details of the progress on outputs and activities can be found in Annex 4.1.

1. Changes to Context

1.1 Peru Following a prolonged political crisis, former Peruvian Ambassador to Canada, Vice President and engineer Martín Vizcarra was named President and assumed power at the end of March. The former president resigned after being accused of illicit acts that linked him to cases of corruption with the Brazilian company Odebrecht. The stability created by the new President was soon interrupted by an outbreak of scandals and links to corruption. The new President raised a "question of confidence" before the Congress, so that it would address issues such as the fight against corruption and a series of constitutional reforms. If the Congress did not accept the request of the Executive, it would have meant calling an election. Congress, however, accepted the request and is currently working on these reforms and getting ready to call a referendum, planned for the first week of December.

With this political instability as a backdrop, the country has been preparing for regional and municipal elections scheduled for October 7, 2018. In this election, 24 new regional governors and a total of 1,851 provincial and district mayors will be elected, as well as councilors and a little over 2,000 new municipal officials. While there is a quota system to ensure at least 30% of the candidates are women, in some places it did not reach 10%. In the region of Cusco, however, 108 of the 312 candidates for mayor and councillor were women (34%). (As of the date of completing this report, only 19 women mayors were elected in LGs across the country)1.

The upcoming local elections is the main contextual factor influencing the program in both Ancash and Cusco. It has affected implementation during this reporting period, as many local government (LG) representatives were unable to attend planned activities and meetings due to their participation in election campaigns or meetings in Lima with the new federal government officials to re-establish commitments. On the other hand, the CISAL team focused efforts on the transition between governments, working with all of the candidates to inform them of the program, developing contacts between the outgoing mayors and the main candidates, and making plans to support the handover process next

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 semester when the new elected officials take office in January 2019. The certainty is that there will be a 100% turnover of elected officials because the law preventing the mayors from being re-elected has come into force. And as is often the case, when the Mayor leaves office, so do all his principal staff, including municipal managers and directors and even lower level bureaucrats. To ensure sustainability, the CISAL team has been and will continue to build a formal relationship with the new authorities, informing them of the key issues that we have been working regarding local governance, a planning culture, efficient and effective use of management tools, promotion of citizen participation mechanisms, accountability, effective and timely supply of services, inclusion and, in particular, gender equality.

On a positive note, in Ancash several of the candidates for mayor and councillor are people that have collaborated previously with the program in some function. A significant example is Isabela Yudy Díaz León, who is the LED practitioner and technical secretary of the CISAL Fund in Antonio Raymondi- Raquia and was part of the CISAL Fund Committee, is one of the few young women who ran for district mayor of the municipality. Unfortunately, she lost the election by a mere 30 votes. Also, several of the topics that CISAL has promoted over the past few years have formed part of the debates and platforms of some of the candidates, such as the topic of solid waste management, regional tourism development, and gender equality. In Cusco, the Isabela Yudy Díaz was part of the delegation who CISAL team has taken advantage of the situation to traveled to the DELGEN Women and LED’s Forum in work directly with civil society and local collectives Cuenca, Ecuador and who was inspired to run for office following her participation in Cuenca in developing their priority agendas and getting commitment from the candidates.

1.2 Colombia In August 2018, the new president of the Republic, Iván Duque, assumed power. He is a leader who declared his commitment to gender equality. He affirmed that he would have gender parity among ministers of the cabinet which he has achieved. Additionally, from the campaign stage, he had named a woman as vice-president. During the campaign period he met with the Federation of Colombian Municipalities’ (FColM) Network of Women Mayors to understand their agenda and priorities and committed to advance the priorities of local governments. He already has put forward a measure that was specifically requested by the Network – the prohibition of carrying personal doses of psychoactive substances.

In La Guajira the migration crisis of Venezuela is affecting the department, which shares a border with the country. The migration influx has resulted in an increase in crime, unemployment and public disorder in the border partner municipalities. Although the National Government has developed strategies to respond to the migration crisis, it is not sufficient considering the high number of migrants, who can be seen occupying public spaces, parks, plazas, and beaches. The situation has affected the participation of the Mayor and key staff of Fonseca, where the problem is most pronounced. There has been an effort, however, from the municipality to ensure that project activities are carried out as planned.

In the political context, there has been another change in the Governor of the department of La Guajira. This frequent change affects the ability to have influence at a regional level, where the support of the departmental government is required to move advocacies forward, such as regional tourism and artisanal salt development strategies. The political instability also affects the actions of our partners. There is hope that the new governor Wilmer Gonzalez Brito will take leadership on issues like the dam on the Rancheria river to alleviate long-term water shortages in la Guajira and on addressing child malnutrition by supporting income generating initiatives for the Wayuu population.

In Antioquia there were violent attacks on Continental Gold. Four professionals of the company were killed and another five wounded in two separate incidents. The first incident occurred in Buriticá on September 5th against an engineer who was coordinating the mining formalization process. The attack was attributed to the Clan de Golf, a criminal group that controls illegal mining activity and trafficking in the region. It is presumed that this was retaliation against the intensified efforts of the company to control the invasion of illegal miners on their land. The second attack was in Yarumal, in the north of Antioquia, where three geologists were murdered while in the process of mining exploration. This attack was attributed to a different group of demobilized Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) members. These attacks have raised the level of alert and tension in the region.

2.1 Overview

In general, the activities of outcome stream 1000 are being implemented according to the AWP, despite the challenging contexts discussed above. The project continues to work on building the skills and capacities of LG professionals, adapting the strategies to each region. In this reporting period The University of La Guajira certified 22 women and 18 men, local there were some advances on government officials and civil society leaders, in transparency and improving solid waste accountability tools and strategies. management in the region, but the main focus has been on accountability, transparency and gender-sensitive local management. In La Guajira and Antioquia training was carried out through the local Universities. In Peru, the regional coordinators and local experts have addressed these topics in spaces that convene the outgoing LGs and the candidates in the upcoming

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 elections, building a foundation of transparency for the transition process. This will continue until the new leaders take office in January 2019.

The LGs and Local Government Association (LGA) are demonstrating their capacity to coordinate with other orders of government, civil society and the private sector. The multi-actor spaces in the regions are active and addressing priority issues in their meetings, namely the Roundtable for the provincial development of Chumbivilcas, Margarita Lopera, Mayor of Cañasgordas, Yudy Pulgarin, Mayor of Frontino, Regional Coordination Table of and Humberto Castaño, Mayor of Buriticá in the Regional Coordination Table of Antioquia, Colombia. Antioquia, and the Roundtable for Salt Development in Manaure. In Antioquia the multi-actor spaces have discussed issues relating to the impacts of mining and the multi-actor Steering Committees have been active in implementing the LED plans. In Ancash, the inter-municipal coordination table has identified a potential site for a regional solid waste landfill.

Through the FColM, the Network of Municipalities in Mining Contexts (REMEM) has become a platform for communication to the National Government of Colombia, to align national mining policies with the local realities of the municipalities. Most notably, the REMEM has advocated for the implementation of the model Work for Taxes, originating in Peru, which will help in improving the efficiency and transparency of social and infrastructure investment for the municipalities. CISAL has supported the development of the Works for Taxes Guide for Colombia, a manual that will help municipalities formulate projects and facilitate private investment locally, both in mining contexts as well as the municipalities that are managing the reintegration of ex-combatants as part of the Peace Process (known as ZOMAC regions). The Network of Women Mayors had to postpone the planned forum until next semester.

In Peru, there are discussions with AMPE (Association of Peruvian Municipalities) to evaluate the potential of having a National Meeting of Elected Mayors following the elections to cover a series of topics such as the reform of the municipal law (from 2004), public services, alignment with other orders of government, transparency and gender equality in local governments. The support to REMURPE (Network of Urban and Rural Municipalities of Peru) has been put on hold until the internal reorganization process has finished, and the network is reactivated under new leadership.

In relation to Gender, the indicators for 1000 have been revised to better reflect the results of the work being done relating to inclusion of women in municipal affairs. There 13

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 is notable progress in including the needs of women and girls in the planning processes and of women showing greater leadership in professional and political spheres. This is best demonstrated with the women’s organizations the program works with in Cusco and the Network of Female Mayors in Colombia with FColM who have met several times over the last 6 months and who have a considerable amount of influence particularly in Colombia with the new Presidency and in Cusco with the higher level of interest in female candidates and the publication of the Women in Chumbivilcas Action Plan until 2025.

In the 2000 outcome stream, activities this semester are advancing according to the AWP. To improve the capacity of LGs to create an enabling environment for LED, the focus is on strengthening the LED offices in each of the 15 municipalities and supporting prioritized value chains. In Peru, the LED offices have started to receive support to put their LED plans into action and to identify funding sources for the projects identified in the planning process. One of the main priorities in this capacity building process is to prepare for the change in local government and ensure an adequate transfer of the LED plan, have incoming LG take ownership of the process and to continue to move the implementation forward. In Cusco, this is being achieved by bringing the LED plans to the Provincial Roundtable on Economic Development to align priorities and organize strategic activities, such as the “Feria de Riquezas de Chumbivilcas" (Fair of Chumbivilcan Riches).

In Ancash, there have been great advancements in supporting the priority value chains of Guinea Pigs and Tourism (podcast on Tourism in Ancash). In Cusco, there have been some delays in moving forward the handicraft value chain, but this will begin in the next semester. In Colombia, the LED offices are in the process of being strengthened with the support of local consultants to help put their plans into action. In Antioquia, there has been advances on preparing local businesses to be able to sell to the mining company and a Canadian volunteer will contribute to this process in the next semester (podcast on LED in Antioquia). In La Guajira, the LED plans of three of the four municipalities were just adopted as policy. The LGs have also received support to formulate four projects that they can present to government agencies and other actors to find funding. Two of these projects are related to the prioritized value chains for the region (cacao, sheep & goat). The work to support value chains An association of 11 women producers of guinea pigs in Ccapacmarca, Cusco, beneficiaries of the CISAL Fund, receive technical assistance to is advancing generally as planned in strengthen their business. both regions, focussing on the mining supply chain sector of Antioquia and the salt value chain of La Guajira. These are discussed further below. 14

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

Through the implementation of the CISAL Fund (CF), the LG partners are increasing their capacity to support marginalized groups to implement innovative sustainable economic development initiatives. In all of the municipalities, the CF Committees (with LG and civil society actors) have been involved in the selection and monitoring of the projects from the first call of proposals, and in some regions also a second call for proposals (see Table 2). In total, 51% of the projects in implementation are led by women, and in all regions, there are projects that are either being led by or benefit specific vulnerable groups (disabled, indigenous, elderly, victims of conflict, children).

The full list of projects can be found in Annex 4.2. In Peru, these projects from the first call of proposals are in their final stages, having received technical support, and are showing positive results. In both Ancash and Cusco, the second call for proposals has been launched, proposals have been received and the finalists will be selected in the next semester. In Colombia, the second call for proposals has been launched in Antioquia and the winners have been selected to receive project formulation training next semester. Steps were taken to improve gender equality in the CF. In all of the regions training was held where at least one member of each CF Administrative Committee received training in gender equality, in line with the program’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) strategy. The training module on formulating the business plans and social projects was reviewed with a gender lens, and adjustments made to improve the training specifically for female entrepreneurs. In each region a workshop was held with women to identify barriers to becoming entrepreneurs (see Table 3) and to receive assistance in filling out the project idea form.

In the 3000 outcome stream the focus in this semester has been sharing good practices and success stories between the program stakeholders through various mechanisms online, on the radio, and through study tours.

FColM has launched the second version of the LED course on its online platform SIVIFOM. This platform is innovative as it´s the first time an online education platform has been used to build the capacity of municipal staff in local management and exchange good practices. The course has been modified for this round to include gender and women’s empowerment, include web seminars with guest speakers and case studies, and have spaces for more interaction and reflections on LED processes. To increase the reach and sustainability it has also invited the participation of community leaders. Forty municipal staff and social leaders from more than 25 Colombian municipalities are enrolled in the course that is currently in progress. This includes 5 Mayors from the Network of Female Mayors and 16 local partners that are part of either the LED Steering Committees of the CF Administrative Committees in CISAL´s project locations.

Three study tours were carried out to promote learning exchanges on gender equality, social inclusion, LED and tourism. A delegation of 11 women mayors, councillors and social leaders from Colombia and Peru went to Fort St John to learn about how that 16

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 municipality approaches social inclusion, addresses the needs of women and youth, and coordinates with the private sector. Participants also attended the SPARK conference on women’s leadership (see participant list in Annex 4.3). Three of the participants were members of the FColM Network of Female Mayors. A webinar was held with the Mayor of Fort St John, Lori Ackerman, to share some insights and learnings from the Study Tour.

A second study tour brought 8 municipal LED practitioners to New Brunswick (NB) and Nova Scotia (NS) including CISAL staff to learn about LED promotion with a focus on the protection of natural and cultural resources and the UNESCO recognized Geoparks in Canada. The third Study Tour was a south-south exchange with four LED focal points from LG Marla Zuñiga, LED focal point of Fonseca, La Guajira and CISAL champion, partners of Antioquia travelling to shares some of her municipality’s main results in promoting LED in the past Ancash to learn of the sustainable three years. experiential tourism model being developed and that could be adapted to their context. They learned of the regional, coordinated approach taken, the opportunities and challenges facing the Technical Roundtable for Tourism, and the way LGs, civil society, business and communities have come together to develop a comprehensive tourism package.

The radio programs in Ancash, Antioquia and Cusco have been an important mechanism to reach the general population in the program areas. In total, 32 radio programs have run on the most popular stations. Alliances have been established so that in Santa Fé de Antioquia and in the Province of Chumbivilcas these programs are run for free in the spaces for local government. Five Mayors, three municipal LED practitioners, dozens of leaders (men and women) have participated in the radio programs, covering topics such as women’s empowerment, gender inequality, economic development, local management, mining and development, accountability and transparency. A full list of the radio programs is provided in Annex 4.4.

In the Governance stream, one of the first actions this semester was to make the Economic and Ecological Zoning (EEZ) of Association of communities of the Valley of Fortaleza and Santa(MANFORS) a participatory process. With the support of two Canadian experts in land use planning, (one of whom is carrying out research with CISAL to complete her Masters’ thesis at the Université de Montréal), workshops were held with the local population of key municipalities in MANFORS to get their input. This public consultation process created an important balance to the technical studies, generating a community vision that will guide future growth of the area.

Also, of note is that the councillors of the Provincial Municipality of Huaraz called a meeting to advance the discussion on the regional solid waste management issue. A potential site has been identified and negotiations have commenced with the rural community “24 de junio” in Independencia. This podcast on Solid Waste Management documents learnings of what has been done in Ancash.

A working group on gender Photo: Community members of Cajacay and Marca discuss equality was created including the vision for their community local institutions that collaborate with CISAL. Seven gender equality workshops were held in decentralized areas of Tarica and Jangas. A local consultant is also accompanying the LGs to improve gender- sensitivity in local management, an activity that will continue with the newly elected officials.

In the LED Stream, for the guinea pig value chain, a consultancy was carried out which identified the guinea pig producers in the four districts that have the capacity to be competitive. These producers are now receiving technical assistance.

In relation to the tourism value chain, the Tourism Roundtable has convened various actors (LG, regional authorities, tourism operators), to come to a consensus and craft the strategy to develop tourism on a regional scale. A delegation of four representatives from the Antioquia region visited Ancash with the dual purpose of testing the VIVE ANCASH tourism package and also to stimulate ideas of how to apply a similar model in their region. In addition, there Part of the role of local governments in the VIVE ANCASH package is has been interinstitutional support to to promote community-based tourism. This is the “24 de Junio” community who received the delegation of four Colombians in the the campesina community Tupac VIVE ANCASH testing. Yupanqui de Collon (Tarica) to improve the tourism services. A proposal entitled “Tourism Visit to a Modern Mine in the Closure Phase” was presented to Barrick Misquichilca, upon their request, to develop tourism at the mine. A first pilot visit will be conducted next semester.

For the CISAL Fund, there are 21 projects (9 led by women) totaling CAD$120,000 from the first round of funding. These are in the final monitoring stage and all but two have finalised the procurement and technical assistance. Awardees have submitted two trimester reports and so far 14 of the 18 business projects have reported an increase in income. In anticipation of the second call for proposals, gender training was held with the CF Committee members and a workshop was held in each municipality reaching 115 women to identify barriers and show them how to fill out the project idea form.

In addition, “information fairs” were held to give direct support to candidates interested in presenting an idea, to be able to reach the women and people in rural areas. A total of 152 people (78 women) received support through these fairs. Workshops on project formulation were held, and a total of 209 project proposals were received (107 from women), and 42 were selected as finalists (19 women).

A few notable CISAL Fund projects include (see Box 1): Cooperativa agropecuaria Antonio Raymondi-Raquia (COOPAAR), a cooperative of 47 women that run a small guinea pig plant that process roughly 200 guinea pigs a week and sell the product in Huaraz; Manos Amigas in Independencia brings together 15 blind people who have been trained and operate a massage centre; and Asociación Pastorita Huaracina in Tarica, which brings together 60 women that cultivate and sell flowers in local markets, and with the technical support hope to bring their product to Lima. In all these projects testimonials have mentioned the technical assistance (TA) activities having helped to build capacity and even change gender power relations in the home due to the increased income and confidence women gain in the process of developing their initiatives.

2.2.2 Cusco

In the Governance stream, there has been Table 5: Strategic Objectives in the significant work with the women in Agenda for Chumbivilcan Women Chumbivilcas. The “Political Agenda of the 1 Gender- Based violence Chumbivilcan Women” was developed with 2 Income generation participation of 180 women leaders of the 8 districts of Chumbivilcas, with the support of the 3 Health, Sexual and reproductive rights Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations 4 Education for Equality (MIMPV), the Ministry of Development and 5 Natural resources and environment Social Inclusion, and local Non-Governmental 6 Political and public participation Organization (NGO). The agenda analyzed the main issues facing women in the province and “This agenda was created with the leaders defines a road map to deal with the challenges. of 8 districts and exists to make equality between men and women a reality, so that It lays out objectives and a vision to 2025, in in Chumbivilcas we have a culture of alignment with the Sustainable Development peace…” Isabel Huanca, Vice President of Goals, National Gender Plan, and Regional Plan the Association of Women in Quiñota. for Equality in Opportunities (PRIO) (see Table 5). The process was empowering for the women’s organizations that led the process (Liga Agraria, “Toribia Flores de Cutipa”, and ARMAPCH – the Association of Women Councillors and Local Authorities). They presented the agenda to the candidates for Provincial Mayor and there was commitment to contribute to its implementation.

At the same time there was capacity building work on transparency and accountability done with the municipal elected officials and staff to prepare for the 20

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 transfer of the municipal administration according to the Law of Transfer and Directive of the National Audit Office. As a result of the workshops held, 4 municipalities organized working groups and developed timelines to be able to fulfill all of the responsibilities according to the Law. A preliminary report has been submitted to the National Audit Office.

Due to the political climate, there has been less focus on Table 6: LED plans and Priority the LED work and value chains this semester. However, value chains Cusco the study on the “offer and demand for non-university Municipality Value Chain technical training for youth and women in Quiñota Native potato, Chumbivilcas” was finalized, validated and presented to handicrafts the public. The Regional Direction of Education of Cusco Capaccmarca Avocado, white corn (DREC) supports the study and the local technical institute Livitica Tourism, sheep (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Divino Niño de Jesús de Santo Tomas Handicrafts, dairy Santo Tomás) has agreed to manage the development of products courses in the three recommended areas (Accounting, Chumbivilcas Leather products, province dairy products Business Administration, and Mining).

With regards to the CISAL Fund, the 22 projects (12 led by women) totaling CAD$134,000 are in the final monitoring stage. The projects in Chumbivilcas have required more technical support, since the majority of the projects (19) are carried out by associations, 5 of which are women’s associations. This has required greater effort to manage the 20 local consultants to work with the associations and accompany the implementation of the projects. The CF project leads have all presented the progress reports, but the procurement and technical assistance is not yet finished. While it has been a greater effort, there are quite a number of beneficiaries from these projects (570), 65% of which are women. For the second call for proposals the CF Administration Committees have been reorganized to ensure the participation of at least one woman to be a member (except Livitaca) and the alignment with LED Plans have been established as an important selection criteria. The Technical Secretaries, members of the CF Committees, received gender training and participated in the creation of the Political Agenda of the Chumbivilcan Women planning and political advocacy tool. Workshops were held with the This is a woman participation of 115 women to identify barriers and beneficiary of an innovative project in Cusco where receive support on the project idea form. 11 women and 1 man are producing vegetables.

In Cusco, a few notable projects are: Intis de Cchochapata, led by an Association of the same name that brings together 12 women and their families. With the CISAL Fund support they have improved the production of guinea pigs and sell a cooked guinea pig 21

The Wañaqawa association of 11 women and 1 man is dedicated to promoting good food practices in Quiñota. With the Fund they have installed a drip irrigation system in their yards to cultivate organic food and guarantee good nutrition for their families, as well as producing enough for sale in the local market. The Association of artisans “Sol Naciente" is a group of textile artisans that brings together 10 other associations and 174 members. The Fund is helping them to become legally formalized as a cooperative and providing support to the design and marketing of their products (http://www.qorilazoqmakin.com/).

2.2.3 Antioquia In the Governance outcome stream there have been advances in developing improved systems for public accountability and LGs have begun to adopt methodologies for project formulation and management. During this period, 56% of the participants in the courses have been women. To increase public participation, training was held with the ASOCOMUNAL (Assembly of Community Action Boards) in all four municipalities, giving the boards the tools to monitor the management of the LGs and motivate their participation in local processes. To help the LGs improve their solid waste management services, a mission was organized with the Environmental Services Manager of the Regional District of East Kootenay, BC.

The Multi-actor Roundtables in Santa Fé and Cañasgordas have met on a monthly basis. In these meetings they have discussed various topics of interest in the region, including environmental issues around mining and their relation to the LED Plan, informal mining and the conflict with property owners, the impacts and opportunities from the Toyo Tunnel that is under construction, and community development with a gender focus.

In the LED outcome stream, the local governments have advanced in the implementation of their LED plans together with Table 7: Priority Value chains and the local Steering Committees, strengthening three LED plans Antioquia of the prioritized value chains (Table 7). Municipality Value Chain Buritica coffee, beans, mining supply Cañasgordas banana, baby banana, coffee Santa Fe tourism and coffee Frontino sugar cane, livestock, mining For the coffee and sugar cane value chains, the program brought together producers, vendors, providers, and support institutions to evaluate the current state of each link and identify the actions needed to improve. Each of the actors, participants identified the role of women, barriers to their participation, and the lack of visibility of their interests in these activities.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

For the mining supply chain, considering that Continental Gold is in the construction phase and operations will begin in 2020, CISAL is assisting with a process to identify the opportunities and the barriers for local businesses to link to the supply chain. This will be the basis for The mining supply chain process gathers different kinds of stakeholders. Mining a strategy to enable company, local governments, councilors, local government officials and regional government officials who are working to strengthen entrepreneurs in the region. Continental Gold to procure locally in a way that satisfies technical standards. A municipal expert from Sudbury’s Northern Ontario Exports Program supported the process and provided insights from a global mining supply chain perspective. Meanwhile a regional expert from Peru has been working with the local businesses to assess their readiness to sell to the mine based on a number of indicators and the standards of the mining company.

With the CISAL Fund, there are 14 projects (8 led by women) from the first round of funding totalling CAD$114,000. The procurement and technical assistance is completed, and a few of the projects are linked to the coffee, sugar cane and mining supply chains. The CF leaders have presented two progress reports each, reporting on monthly income and expenses among other things. Six of the nine business projects have already reported generating new jobs. For the second call for proposals, in addition to gender training with the committee members, CISAL held a workshop with women in each municipality (105 women total) to identify barriers to becoming an entrepreneur and carrying out an exercise of filling out a project idea form (75 of the women later submitted a project idea). In total, 381 proposals (197 led by women) were received in the second round and the committees selected 89 (42% led by women) to move to the second stage of the capacity development process in project/business formulation.

A few notable projects are: Arepas Leti in Cañasgordas has enabled Mrs. Ana Leticia Sepulveda to relocate her arepa business from an area that was declared unsafe to a new safe space where she was able to expand her operation. Café Panorama in Buritica is a father-son business that has improved the cultivation practices, opened a store in Medellin, incorporating the family’s history in the marketing of the product. Estufas Eficientes (Efficient stoves) in Santa Fé brings efficient stoves that channel the smoke out through chimneys to improve the health and quality of life to 20 rural and low-income families.

She is a professional in Social Work of the University of Antioquia, leader of the coffee farmers’ union, leader in environmental topics, and secretary of the Vigías del Patrimonio (Guardians of Heritage) group. She has seen her native Buritica pass through difficult times, but sees this as a reason to grow and contribute to change. Lucelly is part of the Administrative Committee of the CISAL Fund and the LED Steering Committee. She has also taken part in the training CISAL has offered, most recently the LED course through FColM. Her opinions and ideas are well respected in these spaces.

Lucelly has managed to balance her life as mother, wife, professional and leader, breaking paradigms, and taken advantage of the CISAL program to improve her leadership. “One of the great learnings from the Gender Summit in Ecuador was to let go of the guilt for working instead of attending to the constant housework. We don’t have an answer to questions we face in this male chauvinist society, just that we are happy doing what we like, trying to be successful, leaders, workers, and fighting for a more equal society where women can perform Lucelly (left) with Sara Perez and Yudy Isabel Diaz at the UN with the same opportunities as men.” Gender Summit in Ecuador

2.2.4 La Guajira

An important advancement in the Governance stream was the approval of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (PMIGRS) by CORPOGUAJIRA and the municipality of Fonseca. This will be the tool used by the municipality to coordinate the various actors involved in the collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste in Fonseca and nearby municipalities that use the landfill. Also, a technical study for the Water Plan of Barrancas was completed, with contributions and participation of the Cerrejon Mine. This study will be the basis for replication and dissemination to communities in other municipalities in southern Guajira. This work has been supported by a local consultant who has been working with the municipality of Barrancas for the past two years with support from the CISAL project. It is worth noting that this effort is linked to the Supreme Court ruling that obliges the mining company and the municipality to address the water problem in the region.

The University of La Guajira trained and certified 22 women and 18 men from the four LGs and civil society on the concepts, strategies and tools for transparency and accountability. The course is part of an agreement with the University of La Guajira to strengthen the capacity of LGs and help improve institutional performance. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Elkford, BC contributed to the course, providing the

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 experience and good practices from his municipality, and helping participants review what they are doing to inform and engage their communities, what information are they providing, and how is it being communicated. He later assisted LGs in a critical review of their documents for public accountability.

Table 8: Priority value chains and LED In the LED work, one of the main advances plans in La Guajira this semester was that three of the Municipality Value Chain municipalities (Manaure, Barrancas and Manaure Salt, tourism, fisheries Fonseca) adopted the LED Plans as public Fonseca Rice, coffee, agriculture/fisheries policy, which will increase its sustainability as Hatonuevo Cocao, handicrafts, coffee it will be passed on to the incoming LG officials Barrancas Sheep and goat, coffee, following next years´ elections. handicrafts

The work on the value chain strengthening has focussed on salt in Manaure. The National University of Colombia has completed a study on the salt value chain in indigenous communities, a topic that has not been documented previously. The study details the main components in the chain, from the indigenous communities’ perspective, and maps out the flow of money and goods through the chain (See Table 9). This will be the basis to formulate a project that will promote the artisanal salt development in the indigenous communities, market the salt of the indigenous WayaWayuu association, and thereby empowering indigenous women who make up that association. Meetings have been held with local actors including the Chamber of Commerce, the salt mine, the SENA (National Technical College), the LG and other institutions to coordinate this line of The Chamber of Commerce of La Guajira and Arlenys Alvarado, a leader work. of the Women’s Association Waya Wayuu, in Shorshimana, Manaure.

They perform manual labour to extract salt from the pond, communities piling it up and loading it into trucks for later sale.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

Position 2: This company was formed in 2004 to administer the mining title granted to Manaure-SAMA indigenous peoples. It is seen by communities as the "owner" of the land where salt mine the license is and both SAMA (Indigenous Salt Mining Society of Manaure) and the local indigenous producers consider the price for the salt sold to BG Salinas as undervalued and unfair. Position 3: The transporters move salt from salt ponds of the Waya Wayuu, AsoCharma and Transporters SumaInchi associations to BG Salinas. Secondly, they provide transportation services from Manaure to salt mills in other municipalities. Position 4: BG After the government-imposed requirements on SAMA to connect with a salt Salinas production company, BG Salinas entered as the operator of the salt mines, and as a channel for indigenous communities’ artisanal mining. Communities see the company as unreliable. Position 5: The salt mills located in Uribia and Maicao process the salt extracted in Colombia’s Neighbouring northern region. These organizations buy raw salt, or salt that is washed, and Salt mills process it for its multiple uses (industrial, animal consumption or human consumption). Salt millers are also the last part of the chain normally known by the communities. Position 6: Corpoguajira is a State regulating agency that has direct responsibility for Corpoguajira guaranteeing adequate land protection in order to avoid severe environmental impacts. Few community members know the function of Corpoguajira.

In relation to the CISAL Fund, 23 projects (12 led by women) from the first round of funding are near completion, with 93% of the CAD$143,000 project funds spent (see Box 3). They are now in the monitoring stage, which will examine among other things organizational strengthening. A few of the projects to highlight are Café Dorado del Perijá, an initiative led by women victims of violence and the armed conflict, the Proyecto Social

She says that many women with disabilities are the head of the household, with low esteem and with many worries. When she presented her project to the CISAL Fund, she knew she had to think about the impact to her life and the women around her and so decided on workshops to make handicrafts. Currently the project in Fonseca, La Guajira, benefits 50 women heads of household with a disability.

2.3 Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Strategy

Last year, the gender strategy was revised to strengthen program efforts on and increase visibility of the promotion of gender equality. The resulting Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) strategy has 6 strategic objectives. This section will document progress on these objectives in this reporting period.

1. Contribute to the strengthening of the leadership, skills and empowering of women political leaders and elected women at the local level (mayors and councillors).

Through the Network of Women Mayors, the program is reaching women leaders in Colombia. The members of the Network, as well as members of the REMEM, participated in a workshop on Gender organized during the FColM National Congress in April. The women mayors met to review proposals and priorities that should be included in the new government’s plans. They developed a statement summarizing the priorities, which was shared with the presidential candidates.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

Women leaders participated in the study tour to Fort St John which was organized around topics of gender-sensitive and inclusive local management. Participants on the study tour were a selection of women leaders (3 mayors, 2 councillors, 2 business women, one municipal staff, a male and female indigenous Wayuu leader, and 2 CISAL Fund recipients). These women had the opportunity to participate in the SPARK conference on women leadership, which included topics of communication, time management, conflict management and efficient use of resources. It was an opportunity for peer to peer learning from women leaders in various spheres (political, business, etc). It highlighted the importance of effective communication at work and at home, the relationship between leadership and values, and that those values are communicated through words and actions.

In Chumbivilcas the councillors of ARMAPCH and the local leaders have participated in workshops and activities to develop their skills. This network of women councillors participated in a series of workshop to collectively develop the Agenda for the Chumbivilcan Woman with a dozen different local and regional state and NGO institutions committed to come together to improve the plight of women in this traditional rural area high in the Andes Mountains. This Flyer-like plan is a grand political statement that has been mass produced and is being distributed throughout the region and was the basis of an election campaign issue raised by multiple candidates. It is and will be a key political tool for advancing the plight of women for years to come.

2. Strengthen local governments’ capacity to promote gender equality and promote policies and/or services that foster the empowerment of women and their integration in social and economic development.

In Cusco, the districts of Quiñota and Santo Tomás revised their long-term development plans to include more specifically priorities identified by women.

Gender training was also held in each of the four regions inviting all CISAL staff, the key municipal staff who are the CISAL focal points and/or CF Committee members who are in a position to apply these skills in their functions and in the selection Women in Barrancas participate in an activity of CF projects. on bridging the gender gap.

3. Contribute to a gender equality approach in multi-stakeholder dialogue mechanisms for local economic and social development. This action is intended to create awareness of women’s needs and potential solutions.

In each of the regions there are examples of how a gender approach has been taken in the multi-stakeholder spaces: 28

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

- The coordination table on competitive advantage in Antioquia has invited Vamos Mujer to a workshop to raise awareness and incorporate the needs of women into the agenda of this table. - In Cusco, women’s priorities, such as the prevention of violence, have been brought to the Technical Roundtable for Provincial Development. - In Ancash the Technical Roundtable for guinea pig production has a high participation of women from the guinea pig cooperative in Raquia. The Committee for Solid Waste Management in Ancash is also led by women. - The Steering Committees for the LED plans in the four regions have received technical support to better incorporate a gender focus and identify projects with specific support to women.

4. Contribute to women’s economic empowerment by providing financing, training, technical assistance, and regular follow up with women entrepreneurs with special emphasis in the formation of women’s associations.

For the second round of CISAL funding, the selection criteria were revised, and targeted training was completed to increase the possibility of women accessing the Fund. Workshops targeting women were held in partner municipalities in each of the four regions. At least 40 women entrepreneurs participated in each workshop, receiving training on business planning and then support to develop their business project proposal. Gender was also included as a topic in these workshops.

As mentioned, more than half (51%) of the CISAL Fund projects in implementation are led by women or women’s associations (see Box 4) and many more women are direct beneficiaries of the services or products provided by the initiatives. They receive direct technical support to ensure that their business or project is successful. The women gain financial skills, going through a procurement process to receive quotes for goods and services, and keeping track of their income and expenses. Among the women who are 29

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 recipients of the CISAL Fund are vulnerable groups (rural women, indigenous women, and disabled women). In Cusco and Ancash there are projects that are led by associations of women. In addition, the projects are expected to benefit 1140 women, representing 61% of the total expected beneficiaries. For example, in Cusco one of the social projects assists women with a disability to make clothing.

Box 4: Women empowerment through the CISAL Fund Twelve women heads of household in Quiñota are part of an association of women that grow produce. Flora, the president of the association, has positioned food security as a priority issue in the community and within her own family. She wanted to present the project to combat malnutrition in her own children, but also saw a business opportunity to sell the extra produce that was not consumed at home. With the support of the CISAL Fund she and other female members other the cooperative implemented a system of drip irrigation, an innovation in the rural regions of Cusco. This has increased production and sales and the marketing of the produce through the work of the association. Flora has positioned herself as a leader who defends the interests of women, their economic independence, and the right to be heard and valued in public discourse. She is a real woman´s champion.

5. Integrate a gender focus in knowledge development and knowledge sharing and collaboration processes and products.

There have been efforts this semester to ensure that gender is included more intentionally in all KM products and processes. The most significant examples are: 1) the revision of the FColM LED Course to include Gender Equality into Modules 1 (why it is important) and Module 3 (tools to promote gender equality); 2) a web seminar on women’s economic empowerment as part of the LED Course; 3) a study tour to Fort St John (FSJ) that focussed on women’s leadership and inclusive local management with a whole day of exchange between the CIRDI project staff (Canadian International Resource and Development Institute) and researchers at the University of British Colombia (UBC) on the role of women in extractive contexts with our international delegations and the female leaders from FSJ. 4) Six radio programs with a focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in three regions where they are produced (Antioquia, Cusco, Ancash).

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

5) The Political Agenda of the Chumbivilcan Women is being designed to produce a polished communication product for broad dissemination.

Other products of note are: - A Guide on Social Economy (under development) - Revised CISAL Fund guide with selection criteria that favour women-led initiatives - Web seminar with Mayor Lori Ackerman about the study tour to Fort St John - A course was launched on women’s empowerment together with the University of La Guajira and will continue in the next reporting period.

6. Strengthen CISAL management capacities and processes to facilitate the achievement of the strategy on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The program staff have all participated in the gender sensitivity trainings held in the regions and as a result are more proactive in including activities that promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, as well as updates on the progress of GEWE implementation. The local gender and non-gender focused consultants that provide support in each of the regions have also received training, specifically the consultants that provide technical assistance to the CISAL Fund, the LED planning, and one who is working specifically on inclusion in Ancash. Explicit mention of gender equality objectives is included in new consultant contracts and terms of reference.

3. Operations

3.1 Changes in Project Governance

The Program Steering Committee (PSC) meeting and field visit was held on June 20-24, 2018 in Cusco (see Minutes in Annex 4.5). The Annual Report and Annual Work Plan were approved in principle. However, FCM was later informed that, for FY 2018-2019, GAC would only be able to make available approximately CAD$3.2M of the CAD$4,353,788 that was budgeted and presented at the PSC meeting. This would leave a funding gap of CAD$1,154,188 for this fiscal year. After some exchange of correspondences, GAC has agreed to transfer the total remaining funds for the project (except for the holdback) at the beginning of the last fiscal year (April 2019). This transfer in April will include the shortfall to complete the AWP 2018-19 budget.

The Finance and Operations Manager (FOM) has been on extended medical leave since May 21st and is not expected to return until mid-November. This role has been assumed by the Senior Accountant in Peru, David Exebio, and a temporary accountant has been hired on consulting status to provide financial and administrative support. A portion of the salary of the FOM will be reimbursed by the Peruvian ESSALUD.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

The CISAL relationship with APCI (Peruvian Agency for International Cooperation) is a constructive one. It is the auditing period for APCI and the agency is requesting information and documents. It carried out an evaluation of the project and conducted a field visit to Ancash to observe the progress and results of the project along with an extensive review of the project documentation. The report of the visit has not yet been submitted but initial feedback is positive as the Agency is looking to identify good practices in supporting local governments in Peru and views FCM´s project as a model.

So far, the project has spent 48% of the projected budget for the year after six months and is on track to execute its full budget as proposed in the AWP. This expenditure amounts to a total of CAD$2,107,775 with additional CAD$237,609 in In-kind contributions already surpassing the projected annual in-kind contribution of CAD$230,265 during the first six months of the year. The budget line for CISAL small funds is at 45% execution, with lower expenditure in Peru as it prepares to ramp up for 2nd round selection and procurement. The procurement process in the CISAL Fund has improved. Initially there were challenges applying rigid procurement rules with small local and very informal goods and service providers in remote regions with limited commercial experience and formal documentation practices. To resolve the issue there are greater control measures applied, Regional Administrative and Finance Staff follow-up directly with the providers, limits were established for the advances given and timelines established to receive the product.

As the project is approaching the final stages, steps are being taken to facilitate spending according to the budget, more close monitoring of execution and maximizing spending on activities that produce results. Some examples of such steps are, the contracting process which was reviewed so that the consultant contracts can be improved in Bogota, rather than having final approval in Lima. Travel of administrative staff has been restricted and they did not participate in the annual planning in 2018 to reduce spending in the 4000 stream (Project Management and Admin). Per diems´ rate for consultants was reviewed and reduced to be more in line with the cost of living in the municipalities where they are carrying out activities.

3.2 Changes in Risks

OP1 – Human Resources

The prolonged sick leave of the Finance and Operations Manager may lead to uncertainty about the position and an inability to make any long-term decisions. The temporary measure however, of having the Senior Accountant acting in the position and hiring a

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018 temporary consultant has allowed continuity with minimal disruption to financial and administrative procedures and reporting.

The impending turnover of elected officials and staff in the LGs of Peru following the elections in October may cause setbacks in the results achieved to date. However, since this was a known risk, early mitigation efforts were taken to minimize the impact by working with all of the candidates to update them on the project, its objectives and progress, to work with civil society and multiple actors to ensure continuity, and where possible have tools institutionalized such as the LED Plans which are public policy in all but one of our 17 Municipalities. The reorganization of REMURPE, however, has affected the ability to progress with this particular partnership. There is regular communication with the new staff and the partnership can resume when they indicate that they are ready under new leadership in 2019 as is the case with AMPE which is in transition.

OP3 – Business-critical Information

FCM’s non-profit status in Peru under the tax laws remains unresolved. The Ministry of Economy has still not provided the Resolution that declares it Exempt from Tax. The legal team Lawyers Echecopar is assisting FCM, in collaboration with the Embassy of Canada- GAC, to try to resolve this situation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy, but the resolution has not been made clear yet. Further support by Embassy staff and GAC more broadly is necessary for the 1973 bilateral agreement between Peru and Canada be respected. In Colombia the situation is resolved and FCM has received the status as an Entity exempt from paying taxes in the procurement of goods and services.

The University of La Guajira, with whom FCM CISAL has a Partnership Agreement, had their accounts frozen, including the account where they receive advances from FCM CISAL for project activities. After a few weeks the University resolved the problem and the bank and the accounts were unfrozen. The University opened new accounts in a different bank and transferred the project funds. All funds were returned and used for project activities and have been accounted for.

DEV2 – Socio-political-economic context

The local elections in Peru have the potential to cause setbacks. However, the early actions taken throughout the semester to work with candidates and civil society have maximized the potential for continuity. This will be reinforced in the next semester as the project staff work with the incoming and outgoing elected officials carrying out a transparent handover process.

CISAL Semi-Annual Progress Report – April 1, 2018 to Sept 30, 2018

The human migration situation in La Guajira has influenced the context and created additional burden on the time of our local partners to manage the situation. However, FCM is exploring the possibility of seeking funding for a complementary project that would build on LG capacity and service development, the LED and CISAL Fund work to help municipalities manage the integration of migrants (both Venezuelan and Colombian returnees) and other vulnerable groups through municipal service and quality of life improvements, job creation and small business support.

The security situation in Antioquia is a concern. FCM has taken additional precautions, particularly during volunteer missions, to avoid high risk areas and situations.

Annex 4.5: Approved Minutes of the 4th Program Steering Committee Meeting in June 2018 in Cusco, Peru.

1. Presentation

The meeting was opened by the municipal government representative of Canada, Mr. Marvin Plett, who mentioned in the welcome the results found in Cusco in the days of visit, previous to the PSC meeting. Then, each participant of the opening meeting introduced themselves, briefly explaining their position and relationship with CISAL Project. Mr. David Monge Hurtado, Mayor of the district of Ccapacmarca, declared the meeting opened, referring to the way how CISAL Project encouraged the initiative and creativity of the neighbors of Chumbivilcas to seek their development.

2. Representatives and approval of the agenda

The presentation and approval of the agenda of the day was carried out by Mr. Marvin Plett from FCM (See Annex 1, together with the agenda developed the entire week), which has been previously provided to the attendants, and it was approved without objections.

The representatives empowered to vote in this meeting are:

1) Representative of LGA Peru: Yuri Vilela, AMPE 2) Representative of LGA Colombia: Lucía Carvajal, FCM Colombia (FColM) 3) Representative of the Peruvian State: Rolf Perez, MINEM 4) Representative of the Canadian State: Janet Ferreira, GAC 5) Representative of FCM Canada: Marvin Plett, Member of the Board of FCM

The documents provided were: Agenda proposed for the meeting, 2017-2018 Annual Report, 2018-2019 POA, 2018-2019 budget. The representative of AMPE, Mr. Yuri Vilela, made a remark on the importance of making more explicit the support by CISAL on issues of political incidence to AMPE, particularly in the Decentralization Summit, in the report submitted to the PSC for the 2017-2018 period.

3. General presentation on CISAL Project Mr. Yeomans summarized the nature and scope of the FCM of Canada in the world, through its international projects. He also mentioned the Canadian municipalities partners of the various international programs and those that provide permanent technical advice. In all the Provinces of Canada, there are municipalities that are directly providing support

Page 67 of 78

in technical assistance to international cooperation projects. This participation, as volunteers, is carried out by very skilled persons with representative positions in these municipalities, and also by experts and consultants who work with the Canadian municipalities. All of them come as volunteers. He briefly referred to the presence of a “special” volunteer, a student working on her university thesis, from the University of Montreal, contributing in the issue of land planning.

He explains that CISAL project works in the Andean zone and in mining contexts, in places where there is contrast between the large revenues generated by mining and the existence of a large part of the population under poverty, as well as the higher vulnerability of women, the youth and the elderly in those regions. Under the current political context of the project, he mentions the democratic situation and the decentralization process in Peru and the peace process in Colombia, also considering the electoral year in Colombia, with the congress and presidential elections, as well as the issue of the Venezuelan migration to said country. As regards Peru, the issue of regional and municipal elections of this year will mark the situation. In addition, CISAL Project also works in Canada.

Then, the presentation was focused on the results of each of the lines of work of the Project. A percentage summary of the scope of the results in each of the lines was presented. The first entry was with Line 1000, governance, indicating its main results. Then, there was a moment for comments by the guests present. Mayor David Monge, explained how CISAL Project managed to complement actions that the municipalities cannot carry out due to the lack of resources. In addition, he highlighted the importance of the update of the concerted development plans and the local economic development plans supported by the project. Rolf Perez, Representative of the MINEM, asked if the National Centre for Strategic Planning Peru (Centro Nacional de PlaneamientoEstratégico) (CEPLAN) participated in the updates of the concerted development plans, given the importance of this management instrument. Yuri Vilela, from AMPE, ratifies the importance of empowering the concerted development plans with the civil society, to guarantee their compliance. Ana Lucía Cruz, Councillor of the Municipality of Ccapacmarca, mentioned that before women were apart from the public activities. Now, the involvement of women in this scope is increasingly notorious, through mechanisms such as those of CISAL Fund. She also shared the experience with the Women Councillor Network. Lucía Carvajal, mayor of Remedios, commented about the effort that is being made in Colombia, to be able to articulate the plans at all government levels.

It was indicated that all the plans must be prepared according to the guidelines established by CEPLAN and they have been provided to CEPLAN for their review.

As regards Line 2000, the presentation logic was the same, the main results to date, regarding what has been worked with the LED plans, the momentum of value chains, the performance of CISAL Fund (80 projects approved and intensely strengthened to date) and the momentum and good operation of the 16 Committees of CISAL Fund. It was Page 68 of 78

reiterated that the stake of the Line is to build capacities and that CISAL Fund is an instrument for that purpose. Then, there were several interventions. Luther Patiño, from the local economic development management office of the provincial government of Chumbivilcas, mentioned the importance of the LED plan and how it is being incorporated as a management instrument. Regarding this experience, the technical group of provincial development is being promoted. Before CISAL there was no institution specialized in these topics.

4. Presentation of CISAL GEWE strategy. Paula López, CISAL manager in Colombia and specialist in inclusion and gender equality issues for the project, made a balance of how the gender approach is developed in CISAL Project. She started with a description of the activities of CISAL under the gender policy previous to FIAP. Then, she explained the way how CISAL reviewed and adjusted its GEWE gender policy, to frame it in the general policy on gender of the government of Canada, precisely the guiding framework that FIAP policy gives. Finally, she presented all the orientations of the GEWE policy of CISAL for each line of action and informed about the activities already performed and those that will be performed in the next few days. The main strategies per line are:

• For line 1000, governance, there are two strategies: 1) 1. Strengthening of the leadership, abilities and empowerment of women political leaders and elected women at local level (mayors and councillors). This strategy will be advanced through: Surveys of strengthening needs; Review of training materials; Focus groups about common problems and ways to solve them; Meetings between regions or countries; Strengthening of the councillors’ network; Support key meetings of the mayors’ network of Colombia, and Database of women organizations. 2) Build the capacity of local governments to promote gender equality and policies and/or services for women empowerment and integration to social and economic development. This strategy will be developed through the following actions: Develop tools for the implementation of a gender approach or a gender equality approach in local development; Advise and work in close cooperation with local governments in key aspects of local governance; Participation of women in local development planning processes, in Peru, review and update of local development plans and in the preparation of LED plans; Participation of women in the monitoring of LED plans; Local services oriented to improve the situation of women and girls, and preparation of budget with gender perspective. • For line 2000, Local Economic Development, there are two strategies: 1) Contribute to a gender equality approach in multi-stakeholder dialogue mechanisms for local economic and social development. This strategy will be developed through the following actions: Identify value chains in which women participate and with the potential to promote; Publicize the results of the study in multi-stakeholder mechanisms promoted by the project; Reinforce the inclusion of the objectives of gender equality and women Page 69 of 78

empowerment in LED committees and for LED plans; Publicize LED plans among women associations and groups to include their opinions and expectations; Carry out training workshops on gender equality and women empowerment with LED committees; Promote the participation of women groups and women leaders in multi-stakeholder mechanisms and the inclusion of gender equality issues related to LED, and Awareness-raising activities regarding the economic situation or impact of any issue on women. 2) Contribute to the economic empowerment of women through financing, training and follow-up of women associations and entrepreneurs. This will be achieved through the following activities: Include capacity building on gender equality and economic empowerment of women to access CISAL Fund (importance of gender equality, finance management, business planning, leadership and entrepreneurial activity) adjusted to the level of the attendants; Create a “book of opportunities” of initiatives led by women for investment through other financing mechanisms that will be explained in the course; Promote meetings between women and women associations that have received financing from CISAL Fund; Incorporate affirmative measures in the operation standards and procedures of CISAL Fund so that at least 50% of the social and entrepreneurial projects be managed by women, at least 50% of the beneficiaries of the social and entrepreneurial projects supported by CISAL Fund be women and the social projects that promote the participation of women and gender equality be prioritized. • For line 3000, Knowledge Management, there is one strategy: Integrate a gender approach, gender analysis and gender equality in development processes and products and knowledge sharing. This strategy will be developed through the following actions: Review the existing knowledge products; Develop virtual platforms to promote the meeting of selected women; and, Design the gender criteria and standards for communication materials, including the definition of gender equality and empowerment, which includes Diploma Courses, Study tours, Radio programs, Courses and Newsletters and publications. • Finally, for line 4000, Internal operations of the project and personnel management, there is also one strategy: Build the management capacities and processes of CISAL in gender approach, through the following actions: Review and supplement the implementation plan in Annex D for the current tax year; Review the contract (TORs forms), planning, monitoring and information forms used in each component; Provide guidelines to the Canadian volunteers of FCM and to all the consultants related to the integration of gender equality; Ensure that the draft materials prepared by the personnel, the volunteers and consultants are reviewed by a gender specialist, and Include specific objectives related to the first five objectives and priorities in the position responsibilities of the personnel. Flora Salas, President of the Women Association of Quiñota, informed that the issue of gender is strong. In the zone where male chauvinism (machismo) is very strong and little is done to change this culture and behavior, CISAL has contributed with a lot of

Page 70 of 78

training on the issue and it is causing the change. She also mentioned the issue of mining, indicating the need of having more information about the mining activity in the zone. Eberth Molina, Coordinator of FCM-CISAL in Cusco, referred to the number of business plans, which are mostly of women entrepreneurs; this is an indicator of how women are being incorporated as economic agents at local level. Lucía Carvajal, Mayor of Remedios, indicated the importance of how CISAL is advancing in the issue of gender and it is necessary to continue advancing on this because she noted in the field visit that women in the zone are submissive. Yuri Vilela (Technical secretary of AMPE), proposes to articulate the issue of gender with local economic development to be able to prove progress more practically.

Carlos Castro (Director of Corporate Matters, Hudbay) introduced himself and detailed the work that the company is performing at the level of its area of direct influence. Seek to reduce the infrastructure gaps through the municipalities and the development of economic empowerment actions, through learning visits to Canada. He recognizes in CISAL a Project that is contributing to the development and strengthening of municipal institutionality. David Monge, Mayor of Ccapacmarca made the question of when will everything that mining contributes be received in the zone, Chumbivilcas in particular. In addition, he recognizes that the issue of gender equality is a pending work regarding which a lot needs to be done, because it is a cultural issue that begins with the family.

5. 2017-2018 Budget The general execution of the budget was very close, 95% of what was foreseen.

6. 2018-2019 Work Plan and Budget This is the year of consolidation of results: Transition year with elections in Peru, consolidation of accumulated results, deepening of the GEWE approach, generation of communication and knowledge products. It will also be the year of start-up of the external evaluation. The activities were detailed per Line: In terms of general strategy:

• Transition year with Elections and new partners in Peru • Consolidation of accumulated results • Deepen the GEWE approach– Gender Equality and Women Empowerment • Communication products, dissemination of good practices and knowledge • External evaluation led by GAC and consulting company

Line 1000 Governance: • Application of the municipal concertation plans and transition with the new rulers • Consolidate the offer of improvement of Services – Water and Solid Waste • Application of transparency and account rendering mechanisms

Page 71 of 78

• Multi-stakeholder spaces (Salt Committee, Sub-Regional Coordination Committee–Antioquia, Development Committee for the province of Chumbivilcas, etc.) • Strengthening of the LGA – Municipal articulation and Networks o AMPE - AMMI-AMPE o FColM Services to its members – Network of Women Mayors for Democracy and Peace o REMEM

Line 2000 LED: • Consolidation of the Strengthening of the LED Offices of each municipality, through municipal rules. • Strengthening of value chains in each zone of influence (Supply chain of mining, Salt, Tourism and farming and livestock products) • Activate concertation spaces of regional LED – in the Public and Private Coordination Committees • Launch the second call of CISAL Fund in Peru (1st quarter) and then in Colombia (2nd quarter) • LED Forum: Mining and sustainability. Articulation with mining companies. (Lima, October).

Line 3000 Learning: • Diploma Course on Local Governance and LED in Peru with an education institution • 2nd virtual Diploma Course on LED in Colombia with FColM • Study Tours to Canada o Fort St. John and BC – GEWE Learning o Atlantic Coast LED Learning – Sustainable Tourism/GEOParks – NB/NS and Annual Congress of FCM - • International exchange of good practices– LEDGEN – LED and Gender, Ecuador and Participation in FLACSO – Uruguay and Chile

It will be sought to take the mining company closer to the strategies of the Project, considering that there is a quite advanced management instrumental base, such as the concerted development plans, update for almost all the municipalities, as well as the local economic development plans.

The 2018-2019 general budget was presented, which adds up to 4,584,053 CAD (with the contribution in kind).

Next steps towards sustainability. Eberth Molina mentioned that all the work and management instruments are being provided to the candidates so that they do not only know what has been worked by CISAL Project, but to take them into account for their corresponding concerted local development plans. Yuri Vilela, ratified what has been advanced by CISAL Project and commented about the need of developing management instruments that can contribute to the new managements. Aldo Trelles, mentioned how important he considers the work of CISAL in the zones where it operates. He associates what has been developed according to the national law on competitiveness, which public

Page 72 of 78

institutions do not activate. Rolf Camarena, ratified what was suggested by AMPE, regarding management instruments. It is also important that the incoming authorities assume what has been advanced, which will be a key factor. Chantelle L´Heureux, summarized the work carried out in the zone of Ancash, in Valle Fortaleza, when she visited Cusco.

7. External evaluation of CISAL Project The grantor will determine the evaluation process. CISAL Project will provide all the facilities for said work. The main aspects of the evaluation will be the lessons learned and best practices. The evaluation is a fundamental input to learn from what is invested in development and to ensure the sustainability of the strengthening actions. The TORs have been already circulated and they are in process of call and selection. The evaluation is thought to start on site in September or October.

8. Approvals The report of last year, the budget for next year, 2017-2018 Operation Plan, and all the other issues of the agenda were approved.

9. Session of reflections on CISAL learning and future recommendations This year, the PSC delegation began its work on Wednesday in Cusco with a working lunch and then travel and reception in Ccapacmarca, Chumbivilcas. The tours on the next day were really revealing, showing the level of progress of the local government and civil society strengthening project, and specially of guinea pig (cuy) and vegetable producers of the adjacent zone and outside de urban area of the municipality. There was a project fair supported by many producers from all the municipalities of the zone of direct influence in the Municipality of Ccapacmarca. This was an innovation, like the session of reflection held after the meeting of the PSC with 20 participants, stakeholders of the project and the members of the PSC, who could stay (see Annex 2-list of participants).

Marvin Plett describes the previous days. This final session of balance, analysis and recommendations was attended by the mayors of Livitaca and Ccapacmarca, the economic development manager of Ccapacmarca, women councillors and officers of Chumbivilcas, FColM, Hudbay, Colombian, Canadian and Peruvian municipal sectors. The session was focused on two central issues: local management in general and the gender approach in the region.

For the first part, local management, the mayor of Ccapacmarca, David Monge explains that the regions of the project in Peru are located in a mining zone and three planning schemes co-exist. The importance of planning for local development is indisputable, and therefore he recommends that CISAL can continue and invest more in these regions, which are very poor and the way how the project has been working has

Page 73 of 78

been very effective. That follow-up is also important to support an orderly and pertinent transition with the next municipal government.

The Mayor of Livitaca, Olger Olivares, congratulates CISAL; he states that there must be other institutions in the civil society that guide our steps as a social group and where we must go to. Local governments of Peru are already in the final stretch. Livitaca has 15 communities. Four years of municipal management is not enough. There will be a meeting in Lima with candidates to share the work that is being performed. There have been productive investment projects in Livitaca. There is a local development plan and a LED plan for each municipality. The organization of the civil society is important, there is selfishness, resentment that prevent progress. The participation of women and the organization of social groups have increased; the work on gender difference in favor of the male which actually exists, although the Constitution establishes the equality. He points out the damage caused by political instability. It is necessary to continue with projects such as basic sanitation, there are not toilets in Livitaca, being the capital, and even less in the communities. He reiterates the congratulation to the project; he states that it would be desirable to be able to continue working with CISAL.

Ana Lucía Cruz, Councillor of the Municipality of Ccapacmarca, states that there is no dialogue between the incoming and outgoing governments, due to political jealousy. This custom must not be repeated, continuity is necessary, to provide a good report and she requests CISAL to support said transition with the next local government. It would be desirable to achieve for this region a similar scheme to the one of Lamay (which many participants knew in March 2017 when a visit to Lamay took place, during the Second Summit CISAL).

Economic development manager of Ccapacmarca, Genrey Loayza. Governance is based on participation. There are some written plans, but they need publicity and disclosure to the population. It is necessary to apply said governance, concertation and dialogue groups are supported. These mayors have 6 months left to disclose those plans. If the population validates it, the plan will be recognized by other mayors.

The road integration of these regions is not good in Livitaca. There has been a group of persons of Livitaca that have requested the roads, and the population will participate; otherwise, the next administration will erase it. People seek schools, etc., works that give them employment. The irrigation works executed are not seen by them. Another pending issue is the concerted district development plan.

CISAL has carried out, in these regions, a work different from the one carried out by other NGOs, since they were very biased to only a few groups. It has worked with the local authorities. One of the main problems has been the lack of transparency. Lack of specificity in the rules; the same rules are used for Lima and for other rural municipalities. Mayors are questioned because they do not retain local suppliers, since the rules establish certain parameters that the locality does not comply with. There is no clear rule on the participation of local governments with the mine. Another element is the political one. If Page 74 of 78

political organizations do not have much knowledge, they run for office with parameters that do not correspond to the locality; work should be developed with the political organizations on the knowledge of these localities.

Analí Márquez, advisor of the Social Management Office of Santo Tomás (Province Municipality), highlights the work that is being performed by CISAL in economic inclusion and especially in gender. In Chumbivilcas, there is no woman manager, there is little political participation by women. She requests CISAL to work more with women groups and associations. She requests also to support the transition from one management to the other. There has been selfishness, sometimes the office is left without information; she requests to promote that the next administration collects the plans that the current one has worked in. Another issue is that sometimes mayors enter the public administration without vision, without a clear mission for the future.

Aldo Treyes, Representative of Hudbay, from the institutional relations office in Cusco. Territorial competitiveness will be achieved using the assets of the entire territory, but a serious look for women is not given, a more focused work for women is required. In Ccapacmarca, work is being developed in the chain of vegetables and that has given them independence. These works must continue, and the good practices must be consolidated and become public policies. In the transition, in addition to good practices, the problems and objections should be considered.

Chantelle L´Heureux, Canadian student. Public consultation is very necessary. She proposes to bring a volunteer expert in public consultation methodology, to make said consultations more dynamic and to carry them out in the regions, not only in the capitals. Professional transition, if this administration does it well, it can inspire the next administrations. Participatory process with rural and community approach.

Lucía Carvajal, representative of FColM. Citizens have to be empowered so that later they can defend their community. Each community has different conditions and different needs and a small urban zone; it is easy for CISAL to guide, know the population and work with them on the plan. To contract the plan is a bad business, it must be built with the people. The contracting of local small entrepreneurs should be achieved.

Marvin Plett. A common aspect is transition; a long-term plan must be managed with the political level, with the new council. It has been said that those plans have been adopted by the councils; the transfer of the management is of interest for these administrations.

Carlos Alegria, Economic development manager of Livitaca. CISAL can make the difference between where it has intervened and where it has not, and determine whether it makes the difference or not. There is certainly concern about how to carry out a better transfer. He suggests CISAL to make a political pact for continuity. Leader schools for girls.

Page 75 of 78

Alcides Molero, consultant in CISAL Fund for Cusco. The model has been participatory, transparent, and it must be the same from local governments. Entrepreneurial services office for families and new businesses, how to make small enterprises commercial.

For the second part, on gender approach and social inclusion, Mrs. Flora Salas, Women Association of Livitaca, states that before CISAL, local governments had not supported productive projects. The women in the association feel that CISAL has worried for them. They consider that the time is still short to consolidate results. There is resentment in current society, that it why they request strengthening to the other mayors that will take office, to work with the civil society. We were not considered before this project; it was thought that we were useful only for cooking or raising children. Until now, we were not allowed to speak, we did not have a voice.

Analí Márquez, advisor of the Social Management office of Santo Tomás. There is a high rate of violence against women. Under Law 30364 on violence against women, the provincial instance for concertation has been installed, which has formal operators, such as the judicial institutions, the government, and non-formal operators, such as women associations. Men do not allow women to express their thoughts, their reflections. The law existed, but it was not applied. There is a state attorney on family matters. Economic dependence is the base of submission. The municipalities are not interested in projects for women. It is necessary to work in the training of women leaders. Support from the authorities is needed, and CISAL can work in this training. Another necessary issue is women empowerment.

She highlights that the project has reached Ccapacmarca, and thanks Eberth and Alcides for the space they provided to the women of the region. There is division among women. Training schools are necessary; women need to be better prepared. It is necessary to be better trained to perform a political role with vision. Women were ashamed to go to the market to sell their products.
