The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) awarded a $125,000 Project Grant under its Assistance for Overseas Programs (CFDA 85.750) to the Asociacion De Lideres Y Liderezas Sociales De Cartagena, an Afro-Colombian non-profit organization, to advance the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of vital ecosystems in Cartagena, Colombia. The grant supports community-led approaches to managing natural resources and local development planning, including citizen oversight of municipal environmental policies and practices, participation in environmental governance, communications, and network building. The project aims to address the negative environmental impacts of Cartagena's rapid development as a prime cultural and tourism destination, while also ensuring the benefits reach all residents more equitably. The grant period runs from August 2024 to August 2026.
