Fue posible gracias a la voluntad de las autoridades locales, direcciones de saneamiento, comités de agua y usuarios que intervinieron en la capacitación y fortalecimiento de sus habilidades y destrezas, en tópicos de: regulación de los estatutos y reglamentos, administración, operación y mantenimiento, cálculo de tarifa usando la herramienta AQuéCosto, categorización de comités de agua y saneamiento (para poblaciones menores a 200 habitantes), etc. Estas experiencias aplicables en los municipios de Tiraque, Arani, San Benito, Villa Rivero, Pocona y Arbieto muestran un avance cuantificable, escalable y aporte importante para la sostenibilidad e instancias. No obstante, los datos del monitoreo anual de Water For People demostraban que muchas Entidades Prestadores de Servicio de Agua y Saneamiento (EPSAS) estaban calificadas dentro los parámetros de ninguno, poco y algo probable de proporcionar servicios sostenibles.

  • Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: a Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11)
    Plunger UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research X (2007) Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: A Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11) Elizabeth M. Plunger Faculty Sponsor: Timothy L. McAndrews, Department of Sociology/ Archaeology ABSTRACT Some of the most important unanswered questions about Andean prehistory center around the expansive nature of the polities that dominated the area before European contact. Tiwanaku proves to leave an especially puzzling record of how and why it established peripheral settlements in different ecological regions. Relatively little is known about the economic, political, and social relationships most of these settlements maintained with the core region. This paper seeks to address these issues as they relate to Tiwanaku settlements in the Cochabamba Valley of central Bolivia. Through the systematic analysis and comparison of decorative elements and quantities of ceramic types from different cultural periods, I have determined that there is a definite degree of interaction between the Tiwanaku core in the Titicaca Basin and the Pirque Alto site in the Cochabamba Valley. INTRODUCTION Figure 1. The Tiwanaku Core Region: The Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys (After Janusek 2004:55) The Tiwanaku polity and its associated cultural remains have been the subject of fascination and debate since at least the time of the Spanish chroniclers. As systematic research began in the late 19th century with figures such as Max Uhle and Adolph Bandelier, one of the first questions to arise was the relationship of the core area of Tiwanaku culture (the Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys in the southern Titicaca Basin- see Figure 1.) to sites in coastal valleys and interior lowlands with significant assemblages of Tiwanaku-style artifacts (see Figure 2).

    Government of Bolivia Bolivia Coca Cultivation Survey June 2007 Bolivia Coca Survey for 2006 PREFACE The evidence from the 2006 Bolivia Coca Survey sends mixed signals. Overall, there is an 8% increase in cultivation over 2005 for a total of 27,500 hectares. Dire forecasts have not been borne out. Nevertheless, there are warning signs that should be heeded. Under Bolivian law, 12,000 hectares may be grown for traditional consumption or other legal uses: this Survey shows that the limit was exceeded in the Yungas of La Paz where most of the cultivation usually takes place. At the same time there has been a dramatic (19%) increase in the Chapare region, including more than 2,300 hectares of coca being grown in national parks in the Tropics of Cochabamba – a threat to the precious eco-system of the Amazon forests. The good news from this same region is that the amount of land devoted to the cultivation of alternative crops – such as bananas, pineapple, and palm heart – now exceeds the area used to grow coca. There are signs of hope that licit crops can help liberate vulnerable communities from poverty. Nevertheless, the considerable increase in seizures and the displacement of drug production to areas outside the coca growing areas, as reported by the Bolivian drug control police, demonstrates the need for sustained drug law enforcement of the Bolivian Government. Bolivia’s drug policy is in the spotlight. The Government needs to reassure the world that its support for coca growers will not lead to an increase in cocaine production.
