held in the Swiss city of Davos.
On this occasion, the also
Development-Social Inclusion Minister highlighted the alliance between the Peruvian State and private sector to achieve the productive and sustainable development of native communities based in Peru's Amazonia.
"The Amazonia comprises almost 60% of Peruvian territory; however, it has been historically forgotten by the State, so much so that the brothers and sisters from native communities do not have (access to) water or drainage to date," Mrs. Boluarte indicated.
"For this reason,
President Pedro Castillo has generated management policies to serve native Amazonian communities. We are concerned about illegal logging and deforestation; yet private companies can help us recover the Amazonia, which is the world's lung," she added.
The Vice-President shared the panel with Colombian President, Ivan Duque, and executives of Brazilian companies.
"Noa Jayatai, whose name is written in the Shipibo-Konibo language (and means 'we are going to grow'), relies on more than 500 support projects for over 60,000 households in the jungle so as to promote their products through technical support with the aim of placing them on the market," she remarked.
Mrs. Boluarte highlighted the experience of private company Aje, through which the purchase at fair prices of products (aguaje and camu camu) from native communities —for the production of beverages— has been creating jobs and the sustainable development of Amazonian households.
Moreover, she mentioned the work trip made by
Dutch Ambassador Nathalie Lintvelt and herself to Jaen —an area in Cajamarca region's jungle— to verify the results of international cooperation support for communities organized in cooperatives, which generated efficiency, quality, and competitiveness for their agricultural products —as in the case of coffee.
The Peruvian delegation's participation at the WEF Annual meeting came to an end today.
