The International Tropical Timber Organization INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE: COMPETITIVENESS AND BUSINESS STRENGTHENING FOR A CARPENTER GROUP IN REGION VII (HUEHUETENANGO-QUICHÉ), GUATEMALA SERIAL NUMBER: PD 719/13 Rev.2 (I) COMMITTEE: FOREST INDUSTRY SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF GUATEMALA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: SPANISH SUMMARY This project proposal seeks to promote associative principles and improve the quality and marketing of timber products through organized carpentry businesses in Region VII (Huehuetenango-Quiché), which requires good administration of resources, improved technical know-how in terms of new designs and furniture types, market intelligence, learning and implementation of new skills, and basic equipment to guarantee better product quality and cost reductions for consumers. It should also be pointed out that throughout the entire process, the project will support the economies of families in the region with the reactivation of job opportunities for both men and women that may be interested in learning the trade and later securing employment, while at the same time ensuring the adequate management of natural resources under the supervision of the Forest and Environmental Consensus Roundtable of Region VII and the National Forest Institute (INAB).

PROJECT CONTEXT 1.1 ORIGIN Proposed project actions were jointly identified with a group of carpenters of Region VII – Huehuetenango- Quiché as well as members of the boards of directors of ACMEFAR and INAB. After an analysis of the carpenters’ problems and needs, it was concluded that it was necessary to strengthen the group’s skills in terms of production and marketing of timber products. Thus, the project proposal hereby submitted is aimed at breaching identified gaps so as to enhance the performance and benefits of carpenters in the region. Considering that the woodworking industry is one of the most vulnerable sectors in the region due to limited market opportunities and technical skills, the project seeks to support a group of producers in the Departments of Huehuetenango and Quiché, which comprise this region of the country. This project proposal originated from the organization of a group of carpenters who have been meeting for some time now in order to find innovation alternatives, have participated in national events, and have applied new techniques to improve the quality of their products and reduce costs in order to benefit consumers in their respective regions. However, there are still specific business and marketing skills that need to be acquired, in particular regarding associative principles, implementation of controls and development of manuals, as well as the use of special tools to improve the technical capacity of the sector. In addition, support organizations should be legally established to increase the competitiveness of these producers at the national and international levels. Due to the lack of a consolidated organization, they have not been able to secure the necessary support to improve the provision of services, and even though they have had negotiations at the local level, they have been forced to act on their own, which has prevented them from achieving their objectives. Therefore, ACMEFAR has decided to support this sector through the development and implementation of this project proposal since, in accordance with its by-laws, the aim of the Association is to promote sustainable integrated development processes with the participation of the forest and environmental sectors, through discussions, consensus-building and search for solutions to forest and environmental problems so as to facilitate the full development of its members and the population at large. 1.2 RELEVANCE 1.2.1 Conformity with ITTO's objectives and priorities This project is consistent with the overall objectives set out in the International Tropical Timber Agreement (ITTA) i.e. “to promote the expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber from sustainably managed and legally harvested forests and to promote

The heavy rainfall associated with these storms caused widespread and severe flooding that has affected millions of people across Central America, including in Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, and Costa Rica. x The floods have killed hundreds of people across Central America and Mexico, and death toll figures continue to rise as communication and access to isolated areas improve. x In addition, the Santa Ana (Ilamatepec) volcano in northwestern El Salvador erupted on October 1, spewing hot rocks and plumes of ash 15 kilometers (km) into the air, forcing the evacuation of 7,000 local residents and resulting in two deaths.

  • Greetings from San Juan Ixcoy, Huehuetenango Department, Guatemala
    Greetings from San Juan Ixcoy, Huehuetenango Department, Guatemala. As we write this we are witnessing the celebrations of the K'anhab'al people celebrating the election of a new president of the country. The outgoing president has declared a national holiday our town square has been filled with Marimba music, all day! And, on top of that, we write in the dark, as our hotel's electricity is off. Now, it is hard to explain the Marimba music just next door. (They require electricity for the speakers that project the sound throughout the community) And also, it's as if the outage was expected and scheduled: There was candle and matches in our room when we arrived, signaling the anticipation of an outage. We departed from Cincinnati on Friday, on schedule, and arrived in Guatemala City just before noon, Guatemala time. After reconnecting with our luggage, we were met by Philip Beisswenger, PC(USA) Mission Co-worker in Guatemala. Our transportation for the our journey in Guatemala was provided by PRESGOV, an arm of the National Presbyterian Church of Guatemala (IENPG). We boarded the PRESGOV Toyoto Coaster, 18 passenger mini-bus and headed out for our days destination, Xela, and our accommodations at the Instituto Bíblico Presbiteriano Maya Quiché. Following a pleasant dinner and evening orientation to Guatemala by Philip, 11 tired missioners were off to bed! On Saturday morning we awoke to an absolutely gorgeous day. After breakfast, we were introduced to members of the IENPG Committee on International Relations and PRESGOV, and the Leader of the oversight board of the Instituto Biblico.
