RECUPERACIÓN VERDE
It is developed with the aim of contributing to the reparation of the rights of the indigenous and Creole peoples. It is an initiative that contributes to the realization of human rights and to the recovery and economic resilience of their peoples through the development of productive activities that contribute to preserving their culture, their environment and their lands.
For this, a consortium of organizations was formed with the financial support of the European Union and took on the challenge of bringing together the efforts of the provincial governments, civil society organizations and indigenous and Creole organizations in the area of Santa Victoria and Rivadavia Banda Norte in Salta province, and Santa Barbara in Jujuy in a cooperation project that aims to generate public policies at the local level, that later they can scale to the set of territories
NANUM
NANUM Project is a trinational project (Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay) funded by the Innovation Laboratory of the IDB Group – IDB Lab and implemented by Avina Foundation in partnership with the Gran Chaco Foundation in Argentina. Sunu Group in Paraguay and Naturaleza Tierra y Vida – NATIVA in Bolivia with the support of Redes Chaco and the Women´s Collective.
This alliance arises from the meeting of the Gran Chaco Nanum Village initiatives for digital connectivity and literacy and Gran Chaco PROADAPT, aimed at strengthening the capacity of adaptation and resilience of the communities of this region
The project aims to strengthen the rural communities of Great Chaco through access to technologies that will reduce isolation, improving their capacity for adaptation and resilience to climate change, with a focus on promoting the role of women as agents of change.
GRAN CHACO PROADAPT
It is a trinational alliance to contribute to the adaptive capacity of the most vulnerable social groups of the Gran Chaco Americano and to a greater resilience of their productions in this region against impacts derived from climate change and climate variability.
It is an initiative born in Redes Chaco and is being funded in its early phases by Avina Foundation, the IDB Investment Laboratory (IDB Lab) and the Nordic Development Fund (NDF).
With this objective, AdApp was launched, a mobile application that allows to store and disseminate the precipitation and height data of the rivers that these inhabitants are taking daily. This allows them to visualize on a map the places where it rained and how much, to determine, for example, if they should move their animals because they are going to flood or take better advantage of the water from neighboring places if it did not rain instead, know if they will have drought or if the roads will be flooded, etc.
It is available on Google Play
EMCHA

Its organization is run by Redes Chaco and is held biannually. It brings together the civil society, the executive and legislative bodies of the State, the business sector, as well as international cooperation, the United Nations system and the European Union in Argentina.
