Introduction La Guajira Water and Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Management Project (the Program) will support the sector investment and reform program planned by the Departmental Government of La Guajira, Colombia, with the support of the National Government. The objective of this program is to improve the supply of water and sanitation in the Department in a sustainable and efficient fashion through the strengthening of the institutional framework and investments in infrastructure, addressing current water and sanitation supply deficiencies in the urban (in a first phase) and rural (in a second phase) areas. It will be financed through an Adaptable Program Loan (APL) which first phase (APL1, the Project) will be comprised of three components: i. Component A: Urban Center Investment and Service Management Projects for Water and Sanitation; ii. Component B: Rural Area Investment and Service Management Pilot Projects for Water and Sanitation; iii. Component C: Technical Support, Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation Component A will finance investments in the Department’s main urban capitals, including Riohacha, Maicao, Southern Municipalities and eventually, Uribia and Manaure. Component B will finance pilot interventions in the rural and indigenous areas that will feed into the preparation of the second phase of the program (supported by APL2). The second phase will support investments in rural and indigenous areas once the preparation and consultation activities described in this Framework document have been carried out. The pilot interventions will be carried out in various rural locations to be selected during Project’s implementation in order to incorporate the experiences and lessons learned from these pilot projects into the design of the APL2. During Project preparation, various studies aimed at analyzing the Project’s social impacts have been undertaken in order to evaluate the main risks in terms of achieving its development objectives. Among these are an urban area social analysis, a methodological framework for defining rural pilot projects, an analysis regarding the political and social climate in La Guajira and the present Indigenous People Planning Framework to be used for any Project intervention in indigenous areas2, including all of the pilot subprojects financed under component B. This document has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines and scope of World Bank’s Policy for Indigenous Peoples OP 4.10, Annex C, and contains: Chapter 2: A description of the main social impacts in the indigenous population expected under the Project Chapter 3: Action Plan to mitigate the Project’s possible negative impacts 2 The Department is expected to adopt the present Framework as a reference for investments in Indigenous areas in other sectors beyond the Water and Sanitation Sector. 3 Chapter 4: Institutional arrangements incorporated under the Project and methodology for preparing Indigenous Peoples Plans (IPPs) Chapter 5: Types of sub-projects to be financed by the Project Chapter 6: Terms of Reference (TORs) for carrying out the social assessment and stakeholder consultations in connection with preparing the IPPs. Chapter 8: Evaluation and Monitoring Solutions Chapter 9: Dissemination During Project preparation, some rural localities that meet the criteria defined in this Framework have been preliminarily identified as possible candidates for Pilot Projects. The framework has been shared with six of these localities (in Uribia and Manaure) to receive comments, suggestions and reactions. Based on the comments received, the Framework has been revised to incorporate appropriate changes.3 The Draft Framework is being translated into Wayunaiki, the most prevalent indigenous language in the project area,) and posted on the website of the Gobernación. Hard copies will be available in both Spanish and Wayunaiki at offices of the Department \of La Guajira. Prior to the financing of any intervention in indigenous areas or which affects indigenous communities, the implemntation authority will follow the Framework, ensuring that free, prior and informed consultation takes place. The Framework would also apply equally for urban areas where project investment (under Component A), would affect indigenous populations (for example, in wastewater disposal and treatment in Maicao and Riohacha). This Project is designed to ensure that Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and intergenerationally inclusive. Based on extensive consultation with diverse stakeholders, the idea of “culturally appropriate benefits” refers to project activites that: (1) are generally supported by beneficiaries and that do not disrupt or contradict the traditional knowledge and world view of the community that is affected/benefiting; (2) introduce appropriate water and sanitation technologies that fit with existing practices (see also 2.3 on Diversidad Tecnológica, pg. 4-5; in the methodological framework for defining rural pilot projects4); (3) are integrated in approach to respect the Wayúu concept of a “healthy home” to include water, sanitation and improved hygiene, as well as productive projects, technology transfer, training, educational activities to reduce health risk factors, and general livelihood improvements; and (4) are sustainable. Annex I contains a very brief description of the main cultural characteristics of the Wayúu and the current legal framework applicable to the Indigenous People in Colombia. 2. Summary of impacts Several studies have been carried during Project preparation out with the objective of analyzing the potential social impact of the Project in the population of La Guajira. Given 3 See email from Jose Berardinelli in Project file, describing the IPPF consultations in Uribia and Manaure. 4 Formulación del Programa Piloto Rural. 4 that the Project is largely focused on urban areas, a social analysis was undertaken to evaluate the impact of the Project in the population of the participating municipalities. The study is based in a number of interviews with different institutions, community leaders, customers and other stakeholders. Although the analysis is centered on the social dynamics in the urban areas of La Guajira, it also identifies potential impacts on the indigenous groups of La Guajira, both the Wayúu and the Koqui-Wiwa. Other studies completed as part of preparatory activities which analyze potential social impacts of the Project both in the Indigenous and non indigenous populations are the following: i) Environmental Assessment; ii) report on the Department’s political economy; iii) Independent assessment of the performance of existing operators; iv) Departmental Development Plan; v) Information generated during Project preparatory activities and missions and discussions with the borrower, existing operators and other relevant stakeholders and

They denounce the extermination of their people, the dispossession of their territory and their resources, and the negligence of the Colombian and Venezuelan states in facing a humanitarian crisis caused by hunger and the death of more than 4,000 children. The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic within this context. Various voices participated in the writing of this text as an a empt to strengthen collaborations between activists, leaders, members of Wayuu organizations, and anthropologists. Two research projects are the interface for the continuing links to collectively refl ect on the structural problems that cause hunger and imagine initiatives for the political, economic, and cultural changes that would be necessary to guarantee the food security and territorial autonomy of the Wayuu. To write the text, we circulated fi ve questions by telephone and email and compiled the diff erent answers. We interwove our voices from each author’s knowledge of the territory and the arrival of COVID-19 as a pan- demic that has caused a crisis on top of crises and structural pandemics that for centuries have aff ected the ethnic survival and territorial auton- omy of the Wayuu people.

Robles B.A., University of Kansas, 2000 Submitted to the Department of Anthropology and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts __________________________ Chair ______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Members June 9, 2008 Date Defended ___________________ Date thesis accepted The Thesis Committee for David Robles certifies that this is the approved Version of the following thesis: Beyond Assimilation vs. Cultural Resistance Wayuu Market Appropriation in Riohacha, La Guajira, Colombia _________________________ Chair _________________________ _________________________ Committee Members _____________ Date approved ii ABSTRACT David A. Robles, May 2008 University of Kansas On the semi-desert Guajira Peninsula of northern Colombia, the Wayuu Indians and the arijuna (non-Wayuu) have shared a long history that includes conflict, acceptance, and exchange. Under constant assimilation forces in the city of Riohacha, Wayuu women vendors have adopted market strategies that draw them nearer to arijuna culture and society and yet enable them to reproduce a distinctive, if altered, Wayuu identity. I explore the motivations that Wayuu women have to participate daily in the market economy, and describe how commerce is both a necessity and opportunity for them. Wayuu vendors both represent and stimulate Wayuu culture and identity by selling products symbolic of their culture and broadening the notion of what it means to be Wayuu. This statement is based on findings from fieldwork at four different kinds of Wayuu marketing sites in Riohacha. In the tradition of economic anthropology, I compare my findings with other case studies of indigenous marketing in Latin America to better understand the regional patterns as they relate to the Wayuu.
