Women's Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares
Women’s Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares Naoko Kamioka Affiliation: World Learning Prepared for delivery at the 2001 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Washington DC, September 6-8, 2001 Contact Address: World Learning, 1015 15th Street, N.W., Suite 750, Washington DC 20005, USA Tel: 202-408-5420, ex. 143 Email: [email protected] I. Introduction Comedores Populares (Communal Kitchens) run by the women’s voluntary groups in the poverty-stricken areas in Peru is a unique example of mass women’s popular participation that cannot be found in any other countries. It originated at the time of the beginning of economic crisis in the late 70s in one of the poor districts in Lima with a group of women being organized to serve meals. Since then, its number has grown, counting about 5,000 in Lima Metropolitan area and about 13,000 throughout the country in 1994. In Lima alone, approximately 120,000 women volunteer their efforts to support these Comedores. The Comedores became very crucial for poor families to survive during the period of serious economic crisis in the 80s and the following structural adjustment in the early 90s. The Comedores eventually were converted from an alliance for survival to a massive social movement. Traditionally marginalized women began to take collective actions expressing their needs and publicly asking for changes. The local and national networks of Comedores have become important vehicles for women to challenge the existing social structure. This has contributed to projecting a new image of the poor and disadvantaged women who were historically kept voiceless due to gender, socio-economic status, and ethnicity. -

In my view, we should highlight three very important aspects: Firstly, there has been a notable increase in the company’s sus- tainability initiatives. When ENDESA approved its Seven Commit- ments for Sustainable Development in 2007, it was a clear public declaration of certain business principles of conduct, which the com- pany had already followed for many years. The public nature of these commitments and their adoption by everyone who works for the com- pany, gave a new boost to our sustainability efforts, and will mean a significant increase in our initiatives in this field in the coming years. In this context, certain milestones reached in 2007, which are discussed in full detail in this report, are particularly illustrative. -

Abstract The purpose of this study is to test research questions about the development of violence on the Peruvian central coast during the pre-Hispanic and Early Colonial times. This is the first study to provide a diachronic analysis of violence on the central coast. One null hypothesis was tested and falsified: that there are no differences in the prevalence and pattern of trauma over time on the central coast of Peru. -

Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies, Rotterdam
MSc Programme in Urban Management and Development Rotterdam, the Netherlands September 2011 Thesis Title: Effects of Land Titles on Access to Credit. A World Bank Programme in Lima, Peru Name: Julia Skinner Supervisor: Maria Zwanenburg UMD 7 Urban Social Development Summary This thesis focuses on the effects of land titles on access to formal credit as a means to invest in small businesses in two settlements in Lima, Peru. This was done through a programme carried out by COFOPRI and promoted by the Peruvian government and co-financed by the World Bank expecting to alleviate poverty and improve the livelihoods of the new formal settlers through three specific goals: • To facilitate the access of the low income population to formal sector credits using their title deed. • To promote the formal real estate sector market in poor urban neighborhoods • To provide incentives to invest in small enterprises, housing and basic services. This land titling programme is based on the theory of Hernando De Soto which argues that informal properties can be turned into tradable commodities and thus be used to accumulate capital and invest it into better houses. Investment may also be made in starting small businesses but this has not materialised. The objective of this research is to ascertain why this has not happened given the fact that the project was specifically designed to enable beneficiaries to use their title deeds as collateral to gain capital for starting small business. My findings focused on different aspects of accessibility to formal credits from the perspectives of both borrowers and lenders in an attempt to answer my main research question: Why has the increase in access to formal credit been less than foreseen by the Land Titling Programme? In order to help me answer this question, I have divided it into the following sub-questions: 1. -

This article is based on the analysis of the systematization of the Health Promoting Schools project implemented in Lima, Peru, from 2014 to 2017 by an agreement between the International Cooperation Agency of South Korea and the Ministry of Health of Peru. A description of the phases developed, the strategies used and the alliances built for their implementation will be presented. For that purpose, a review of secondary sources and interviews to key players as primary sources were conducted.

Peruvian Multiculturalism in a Migrant Settlement of Metropolitan Lima1
Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 17 (2016): 79-94 ISSN: 1896-9461 DOI: 10.12797/AdAmericam.17.2016.17.06 Katarzyna Górska Institute of American Studies and Polish Diaspora Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland Todas las sangres – Peruvian Multiculturalism in a Migrant Settlement of Metropolitan Lima1 The paper presents multiculturalism as a cultural and social phenomenon experienced in migrant settlements in Metropolitan Lima. It will use Nuevo Pachacútec, a young mi- grant settlement in the Northern cone of the metropolitan area, as a case study. The mul- ticulturalism of Lima has been driven and catalyzed by internal migration process, and is now clearly visible in some urban migrant settlements of the Peruvian capital. The case of Nuevo Pachacútec proves that multiculturalism functions best on a micro scale. Multi- culturalism in Peru is analyzed from three angles: as a grassroots policy and principle of cultural organizations; as the diversity of residents in terms of origin and religion; and as the experience of the community and its new approach to celebrating fiestas. The nuanced nature of young migrant settlements is expressed by the phrase, Todas las sangres, which symbolizes the cultural heterogeneity of urban space. Key words: Lima, migration, urban zone, multiculturalism, religious diversity Introduction Multiculturalism is an urban phenomenon. However, in Latin America, it is often analyzed in the context of whole countries, where nations are composed of various ethnic and cultural groups. Latin American multiculturalism is also often analyzed in the context of indigenous groups still living in rural areas. At the same time, cit- ies in Latin America are great examples of multiculturalism based on local, regional, national, and global cultures. -
