Description
The covid-19 pandemic has also disproportionately impacted local communities, most of which lack access to clean water and healthcare. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expanding economic opportunity in peru. Our grantee asociación urku estudios amazónicos (urku) provides technical and commercial assistance and sub-grants for community-managed enterprises and supports community-led efforts to promote forest-friendly supply chains for goods and services. IT is also helping indigenous communities to improve health management, better prepare to respond to the impact of covid-19, and reactivate local economies by taking advantage of new opportunities to market locally-made products via online sales and virtual commercial networks.
