There are currently three subprojects being supported. The first one is the drinking water treatment plant and aqueducts for the municipalities of Pampa del Indio, Presidencia Roca, Laguna Limpia, Ciervo Petiso, Colonias Unidas, Capitan Solari, and Las Garcitas. Works have started and a phisical progress of Public Disclosure Copy 53 percent has been reported. This subproject would supply potable water to 48.000 people. The second subproject under construction is the drainage network in the Yerbabuena municipality in the Tucuman Province to protect 16,800 people from flooding risks, the reported physical progress is 22 percent. Both contracts are being inspected by private engineer consulting firms, and supervised by the Norte Grande Implementation Unit. Page 1 of 5 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR16248 The third sub project is the construction of two water treatment plants and an aqueducts for the communities of Wichi, Nueva Pompeya and Fuerte Esperanza in the Chaco Province. The bid evaluation report has been approved and the contract will be signed in the next weeks. The sub project once completed would provide 42,000 people with sustainable access to potable water to one of the most remotes and poor areas of the Province, most of the project beneficiaries are indigenous population. The project is also supporting two service providers including SAMEEP (Water utility of the Chaco Province) and SAT (Sociedad Aguas de Tucuman) to improve sustainable access to potable water through: a) setting up performance indicators, b) the development of a institutional strengthening plan, c) priority actions will be financed by the project, and bidding documents are being prepared by the utilities and the PIU, and d) exchanges among water utilities and technical training workshops, these workshops supports all interested water utilities in the 9 northern provinces. Initial steps to support Aguas de Formosa and aguas de Salta are being undertaken. The UCPyPFE has strengthened its capacities through the hiring of a number of professionals in different areas to accelerate projects preparation and ensure quality design and implementation.

The International Indigenous Policy Journal, 10(5). doi: https://doi.org/10.18584/ iipj.2019.10.5.8584 Production, Development, and Environmental Policies: Paradoxical Landscapes in Colonia Aborigen Chaco (Ex-Aboriginal Reserve of Napalpí, Argentina) Abstract This article examines the experience of an Indigenous development plan carried out between 2005 and 2010 in Colonia Aborigen Chaco, an Indigenous settlement located in Chaco province, Argentina, originally established in 1911 as the Aboriginal Reserve of Napalpí. On the reserve, inhabitants were forced to settle down as the State appropriated their traditional territories. Here, I propose a critical analysis of this experience with ethnographic description pertaining to the long historical processes that inhabitants of Colonia Aborigen endured, which systematically subjected them to alimentary, educational, productive, and religious routines aimed at transforming them culturally. I intend to demonstrate that it is necessary to review a series of assumptions, which are quite prevalent in Indigenous policies, about what an Indigenous person, an Indigenous territory, and an Indigenous development are supposed to be. I emphatically assert that it is necessary to have a critical approach towards these historical processes of constitution in order to better understand Indigenous rights and development within Indigenous territories.

  • A Catalogue of Large Meteorite Specimens from Campo Del Cielo Meteorite Shower, Chaco Province , Argentina
    69th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2006) 5001.pdf A CATALOGUE OF LARGE METEORITE SPECIMENS FROM CAMPO DEL CIELO METEORITE SHOWER, CHACO PROVINCE , ARGENTINA. M. C. L. Rocca , Mendoza 2779-16A, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, (1428DKU), [email protected]. Introduction: The Campo del Cielo meteorite field in Chaco Province, Argentina, (S 27º 30’, W 61 º42’) consists, at least, of 20 meteorite craters with an age of about 4000 years. The area is composed of sandy-clay sediments of Quaternary- recent age. The impactor was an Iron-Nickel Apollo-type asteroid (Octahedrite meteorite type IA) and plenty of meteorite specimens survived the impact. Impactor’s diameter is estimated 5 to 20 me- ters. The impactor came from the SW and entered into the Earth’s atmosphere in a low angle of about 9º. As a consequence , the aster- oid broke in many pieces before creating the craters. The first mete- orite specimens were discovered during the time of the Spanish colonization. Craters and meteorite fragments are widespread in an oval area of 18.5 x 3 km (SW-NE), thus Campo del Cielo is one of the largest meteorite’s crater fields known in the world. Crater nº 3, called “Laguna Negra” is the largest (diameter: 115 meters). Inside crater nº 10, called “Gómez”, (diameter about 25 m.), a huge meteorite specimen called “El Chaco”, of 37,4 Tons, was found in 1980. Inside crater nº 9, called “La Perdida” (diameter : 25 x 35 m.) several meteorite pieces were discovered weighing in total about 5200 kg. The following is a catalogue of large meteorite specimens (more than 200 Kg.) from this area as 2005.

Barley production is projected down to 3.5 million tons with exports following the downward trend to 2.2 million tons. Corn production is forecast to drop to 46 million tons with exports projected at a record 31.5 million tons and consumption rising to 14.5 million tons. Sorghum and rice values remain unchanged from last year. Commodities: Select Author Defined: Wheat Production: For marketing year (MY) 2019/20, wheat production is forecast at a record 20.4 million tons with positive signals encouraging modest expansion in planted area to 6.4 million hectares. Farmers remain optimistic due to favorable returns last year and a forecast for good weather during the production period. Furthermore, wheat as a winter crop for weed and erosion control and financial liquidity for operating expenses remains popular as does a wheat followed by soybean planting rotation. In MY 2019/20, production costs will be lower in dollar terms than in MY 2018/19 after last year’s peso devaluation, especially those nominated in local currency, such as for contracted operational expenses and a 20 percent drop in freight prices. Farmers will have access to quality seed from last year and new wheat varieties that are high-yielding and in strong demand by local flour mills.

ROSSO y GUSTAVO F. SCARPA1 Resumen: A partir de información genuina registrada a campo, se identifican las plantas empleadas actualmente como alimentos por los indígenas moqoit de la provincia del Chaco (Argentina), así como sus aplicaciones específicas. Se identifican 51 taxones vegetales pertenecientes a 25 familias botánicas, empleadas por los moqoit en 76 preparaciones culinarias y/o formas de consumo. Las especies con mayor cantidad de usos son Bromelia hieronymi (5), Aechmea distichantha, Araujia odorata y Sarcomphalus mistol (4). El 80% de las plantas (41 especies) son nativas del bosque chaqueño e involucran al 82% de los usos. Prevalece el uso de partes vegetales crudas, principalmente frutos. La comparación con lo registrado durante el siglo XVIII por misioneros jesuitas y a mediados del XX por Martínez-Crovetto muestra que los índices de similitud más altos se obtienen entre estos últimos y los datos actuales (0.67). Las diferencias registradas se deberían a las transformaciones producidas por el impacto de la sociedad englobante sobre los moqoit, quienes reemplazaron gradualmente sus ítems alimentarios. Se registra por vez primera para indígenas del Gran Chaco el uso comestible de los frutos frescos de Scutia buxifolia, de las flores de Glandularia peruviana y de las cenizas de cfr.
