The survey included questions about the type of projects they worked on, the performance of their EIA Project Manager, EIA’s other support services, community support, and the team’s performance. The survey link was distributed to 73 members of teams that travelled to 13 communities. Forty - one members filled out the survey. The responses generally indicated a very high level of satisfaction with EIA’s Project Managers and the services provided by EIA. They also pointed out a need for us to improve communications with the teams and with the communities we serve prior to the trips. While communications with remote communities can be especially challenging, we are working hard to improve these services in 2016. We were especially pleased to see that 97.6% of respondents indicated that they were likely (17.1%) or very likely (80.5%) to recommend continuing to work with EIA in the future. Please visit our website for a more complete discussion of the 2015 Team Survey Results: www.engineersinaction.org “Our PM is fantastic and I don't think there is anything else he could have done to be better.” TEAM SURVEYS “EIA was very accommodating and easy to work with. Although not necessary, I think it would be beneficial to also have a translator that speaks fluent Quechua so that it is easier to communicate with all the community members.” “Very impressed with EIA, the community, and everyone's hard work and dedication to get the project completed!” “EIA is doing a great job and has made great strides in improving the process, particularly in interacting and communicating with the community.” 2015 7 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Engineers in Action KONANI : FROM ONE WELL TO A COUNTY - W I D E P L A N In 1993 the Tulsa, Oklahoma Southside Rotary administration of the original well was turned Club, the Evangelical Methodist Church in Bolivia over to a trained community - based organization, (IEMB), and the village of Konani drilled what is Empresa Pública de Saneamiento y Agua (EPSA) of believed to be the second deep water well in the Konani.

  • 1 Living with Glaciers, Adapting to Change the Experience of The
    Living with glaciers, adapting to change the experience of the Illimani project in Bolivia J. C. Alurralde, E. Ramirez, M. García, P. Pacheco, D. Salazar, R.S. Mamani Proyecto Illimani, UMSA – AGUA SUSTENTABLE, Bolivia Abstract Glaciers retreat’s rate and its impact on rural livelihoods in the tropical Andes were studied and modeled. Tropical glaciers are more affected by climate change than their temperate counterparts due to larger sun exposure and the coincidence of the rainy season with the summer which reduces snow accumulation. Global warming is occurring faster at high altitudes, causing glaciers’ shrinking and affecting downstream communities’ livelihoods where glaciers, important natural water regulators, are the only domestic and productive water source during dry seasons. Changing crop patterns and upward expanding of productive areas are also effects of the climate change. The project studies the Illimani dependent area in a physical and socio-productive context to evaluate its vulnerability to climate change and climate variability, and the already taken autonomous adaptation strategies. Multidisciplinary results are integrated in watershed management models to develop technically and socially validated descriptions of the dynamics between the glacier and the basin, for actual and future scenarios, resulting in proposals for adaptation actions. The findings reveal that climate is not the only triggering factor for autonomous adaptation and the strong heterogeneity of adaptation requirements in mountainous areas even within

  • Bolivia Coca Cultivation Survey June 2007
    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.

  • Bolivia 2015 Human Rights Report
    BOLIVIA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bolivia is a constitutional, multiparty republic with an elected president and a bicameral legislature. On October 12, 2014, in a process deemed free but whose fairness was questioned by international observers, citizens re-elected President Evo Morales Ayma, leader of the Movement Toward Socialism Party (MAS), for a third term. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. The most serious human rights problems included widespread corruption and inefficiency in the country’s law enforcement and judicial system, leading to arbitrary arrest or detention, denial of a fair and timely public trial, and harsh prison conditions. Government officials actively promoted restrictions on freedom of press and association and used legal mechanisms to limit political opposition. Additional human rights problems included abuse by police and military officials, lack of government transparency, violence against women, trafficking in persons, vigilante justice, poor labor conditions, and child labor. Societal discrimination continued against women; members of racial and ethnic minority groups; individuals with disabilities; indigenous persons; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and those with HIV/AIDS. Although the government took steps in some cases to prosecute security service and other government officials who committed abuses, inconsistent application of the laws and a dysfunctional judiciary led to impunity. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life While there were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings, several cases of arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life remained unresolved.
