Redes Chaco structure + authorities
Redes Chaco emerged in 2008 as a result of a collaborative initiative between several civil society organizations, based on the need to position the Great American Chaco as a unique biocultural space that shares an identity that transcends national borders. We are driven from the need to share learning, knowledge and strategies contributing to the creation of collective impact. Since then we have served as a platform that connects the diverse actors that make up the territory, including civil society organizations, local governments, businesses, communities and residents.
