closing EL 2010 in Central America, 4. Conoco

On this trip end of this year with the interim evaluation of the program in Honduras and closure of projects in Nicaragua, we Jinotega.

were two weeks of work, somewhat less dense in meetings Honduras, but having to meet a few other things also in Spain.

Meetings were held with FIDER team, group, and separately, with special incidence in seek funding for it is evident that institutional strengthening.

FIDER team and added, from left to right: Yessenia (Maneno office and much more), Reynaldo (coordinator), Scarlet (Jinotega manager), Carlos (technical field ), Silvio (field technician) and me. Fran missing, the caretaker.

were closing technical details of the Phase 3 (which ends December 31), as the posters popularized to every family in the farm management plan, which developed outside technical services (a highly experienced technical and designer), talking to Yasodhara, the evaluator of Phase 2 and 3 (will jointly), which is initiating the process and requesting information from FIDER (when the report will post it here as always). Besides gender expert, Carolina, is now in the process of preparation and the week of 10 workshops will be completed in Phase 3.

On Tuesday November 30 closed phase 2 with some costs were missing, although he was almost finished and since August it is the technical part.


sources of verification were collected in digital and physical, photos, training manuals (which we hope will soon hang in the web), design methodology of the workshops, training report on gender equality of phases 2 and 3, scanned assistance listings, material delivery records (4 beneficiaries were selected at random and scanned all your records).

meetings were held to let you create a network of exchanges and contacts with our first partner organizations at this stage in Nicaragua, La Cuculmeca (with its Executive Director for Development and Strategic), both for network impact on water (for such as the Water Fund) and for dissemination of project proposals in Galicia and learn from their strategic planning process and recently completed reorganization and are beginning to implement, with José Luis Gomez, project beneficiary and Head Chief of the Indigenous Community of Jinotega ( here you can see the interview)

With APD ISF partners share values \u200b\u200bon the intermediate evaluation of the program, weaknesses, potential star products (software, experience the irrigation district, plan to strengthen water board with a gender focus, etc.).. They were invited to the March forum in Honduras OT (because they can present their experience in Nicaragua, and also work on integrating the work with farm management plans with the OT, as intended in the draft-Agro CODDEFFAGOLF .) We also talked to from mid-2011 the first forum for the exchange of experiences (you have to assess whether it can be a good time to do it in Nica, which are at election time, to draw attention to the issue of water, water boards and decentralization). Also discussed the gender perspective in Honduras appears to be most heavily worked (and not that you have worked a lot ...), and from Nica want to pull much more of this item institutionally, they Good luck !!!!.

Friday, 3 there was something very expected and was the visit to the communities, in this case The advantage Horcones training in poultry management. The photos speak alone.

poultry management training, where between other things are taught to make a concentrated food crops promoted from within the program in farm management plans for families.

On Tuesday December 7 was the meeting in Managua FIDER-Managua with Byrian (program director) and Ismail (chief accountant) to make institutional relationships established network support and technical impact formulations want an external inspection and move the corporate greeting from the Rural Development Group in particular and also of all ESF for the great work in this program.
With Antonio, counter sasl draft Managua, bills are collected and coordinated the closure FIDER 2 and final report (see changes in the report that they deliver on the model I drive), and 3 new model FIDER report (including bank charges in the listing) to be sent in January, contributions FIDER FIDER 2 3 (also necessary bills in some cases). PROPOSALS



workshops must be made with mutual understanding partner organizations (TpDH, volunteering, advocacy and networking)

must also make a workshop explaining the procedures of justification and why, and the steps and links the "chain of trust" (population galicia, taxes, economic intervention, area of \u200b\u200bcooperation, based volunteers ESF Galicia, Galicia ESF international partner organizations, beneficiaries).

criterion is important to assess specific work with a partner to "responsible economy" in local materials compliance with the rights of workers (FIDER was made to move to the technical staff) and the partner work and advocacy issues have to some extent independent or if some decentralization is headquartered. Is probably the most fit the type of work of ESF, but this will continue polishing.

So here is ending the Nicaraguan adventure at this stage 2007-2010. And as always, is not goodbye, it's a see you later ...

Difference Between Full & Half Head Highlights ?

La Comunidad Indígena Jinotega

then transcribe the interview in December 2010 José Luis González, Head Chief of the Indian Community Jinotega, and one of the participants in the program that was developed in the community with FIDER SASL.

How is the organization of indigenous communities in Nicaragua? Do you have links between them?

Pacific

In Nicaragua there are 23 indigenous peoples, grouped under umbrella coordinating to 3-4 people. The community of Jinotega is Diriangen coordinator, which includes indigenous communities in Jinotega, Matagalpa, Very Very and sebaceous glands.

(note: there appears to be little coordination with the communities of the Atlantic, they do have an important ethnic component some of them for their purity, as the Supreme, the branches, the Garifuna, or even the Miskito language and differentiation the Indians of the Pacific have completely lost).

How many people around is part of the indigenous community of Jinotega and where it spreads?

It extends the Pantasma municipalities and Jinotega, reaching 22,000 people in 2000 (census conducted with support from American University and an Institute of History). 42800 has some apples (1mz = 0.75 ha)

And how is the internal organization of the indigenous community of Jinotega today?

power "legislative" and highest authority is exercised by the Council of Elders. It consists of about 90 people. 4 people are chosen for this council and community in a community or regional meeting where minutes are taken: a regional chief man, a woman chief, a chief guard and a youth representative. Among the advice nursing also elect to Caquique Mayor (which is José Luis), Chief Warden, Chief Representative of the Women and Youth (move the issue scholarships, workshops and maintenance of culture to interest the young, and so on., aged 16 approximately -20 years are considered young, but may begin earlier to work).

power "executive" or direction is exercised by a Board, elected by the Council of Elders, and consists of: President, Vice President, Secretary, Vocal 1, Vocal 2, Treasury and Office.

both institutions maintaining some balance with administrative divisions (being the Chief of Jinotega and the Vice-Chief Pantasma, and so the president and vice president).

What are the criteria for membership of the Indian Community?

inheritance. 30 families were initially. Now the county representatives and the current members know who they are in the area has always been (and therefore a line descendants of any of these 30 families) and those who came from other places later. With that one parent is Indigenous Community and acquired rights (not the spouse).

Are there laws? Yes

What documents evidencing ownership of the land to the Community?

real scriptures, which were retained even though many would have cared to disappear. Have now been restored with the support of the University of Valencia. It is said that even 15 years spent buried in a coffee farm near Lake Apanás (which accelerated the deterioration).

And there legal delimitation of the land?

In the scriptures there are sketches, and markers have been found, many of which are in very poor condition and others missing. It has begun a project of reamojonamiento, and have current maps.

What is the relationship they have traditionally governmental structures?

have been consistently ignored by all governments, and at worst persecuted and dispossessed of the land. With the enactment of various laws and international agreements, and the restoration of real deeds have been able to begin to assert their rights, but always in a climate of true confrontation with government institutions.

What are the major conflicts that have been or are involved? One was when it became Apanás Lake, with 10000 blocks and 180 families displaced, without compensation or sought the opinion of the Indian Community. The dam produces more than 30% of electric power in Nicaragua and is managed by the public company HIDROGESA (after electricity distribution in the country is run by its subsidiaries DISNORTE FENOSA and DISSUR). HIDROGESA never wanted to pay the lease fee of those blocks occupied by the lake, and that legally should be paid. Got some time ago that paid a small portion of the debt, 800,000 Cordobas (35000 Euros), which built the current headquarters of the Indian community in Jinotega. Keep pushing. You can see photos of Lake Apanás and dams.

addition have also been pressuring ENACAL, the national water company, as part of Jinotega water out of that reservoir located on their land.

have also had various conflicts with land occupiers not paying the rent (large landowners like the Pellas family, owners of several of the big business of Nicaragua Flor de Cana rum or Toyota, in the end as were pressured by the community sold at auction the land they occupied a coffee company and a developer of housing for foreign tourist who, after several negotiations agreed to pay the rental fee when they learned they were in a situation of illegal occupation of indigenous lands).

Internally, they have had tensions between various factions (also sometimes different political sign, though not so much partisan influence, as it had a liberal majority of the members of the Indian community in this area of \u200b\u200bthe country). These tensions did not succeed in strengthening and organizational development and functional community (and therefore could not exercise its role as regulator and manager of its properties, for example there was no one to ask the leasing fees paid to those who occupied land). Now 40% and pay and are strengthening the structure to reach everyone.

How management land among the members of the community? Is it divided the land among the indigenous community members or community remains?

Each community member has the right to work 50 blocks without paying the rental fee. If you were working again can continue, but paying the lease fee of apples work over 50.

For those who are not members of the community, the fee varies depending on the use made of the ground:

$ 7 per acre for tourism, $ 4 per acre for coffee or cattle, $ 5 per acre for vegetables and 3 if it is empty.

that are generating revenues will the spread between members of the community, or reinvest? The reinvested in strengthening the Indian community, its structure and logistics, as well as projects of social and solidarity with the poorest families (support for housing improvements, light, etc.) and recovery of historical memory and its traditional culture.

How often are meetings? Is there much support and participation?

The board meets every 15 days. The council of elders meets every 3 months, and even with 50 people and there is no quorum, participation is very high.

Do they have hired outside consultants to promote the indigenous community development projects or other services?

Yes, to submit proposals to donors to boost projects as support for social housing or even lawyers.

In your opinion, has been considered in the indigenous community of Jinotega in this project in the basin of the Rio SASL?

Yes, they were contacted from the beginning to the selection of beneficiary population. As requested titles, many of the beneficiaries (especially in SASL, as Horcones and is outside the community) are part of the Indigenous Community. He himself is a beneficiary of the project with his family, and has been impact on improving household income and environmental protection of the watershed.

What are your future challenges and projects planned? How do they see their role in cooperation projects?

want to be agents of development in the area, building on its growing capacity as an institution both technically and logistically, and the enormous social base they have and the support of international agreements. Cooperation projects they would like to act as partner organizations, without intermediaries, although seen as a complement and strengthen its business and manage their own resources, which must be internal.

addition, according to various national laws are not met, must sought a greater say in the indigenous community and not give much importance to municipalities (although there are contradictions with other laws where it did give that role to the municipalities to the detriment of the indigenous community, even in areas that compete for issues land). Before Indian authorities, to be divided, not fight for these rights (there was no such advocacy.) With other institutions in the area of \u200b\u200bnon-governmental level have had contacts and specific support (eg The Cuculmeca), although there have been more sustained and planned support for precisely this institutional weakness (which was corroborated by the very people Cuculmeca .)

are currently looking for partners to address priority:

• international advocacy and denunciation of abuses covered by the Declaration of Indigenous Rights and the ILO (Act 517 of HIDROGESA that give more importance to the municipality despite the Community land is), pull the indigenous law 5 years ago had begun to develop the 23 villages of the Pacific and was not adopted because many members had land within the indigenous community and would not pay the rental fee .
• census update
• restoration completed of markers in Pantasma
• recovery workshops of ancient knowledge and spirituality for the younger members of the community, with a specific facility for this
• conditioning Yucapuca Hill area (ancient place of worship) for traditional activities visualization and dissemination of culture.
• dissemination via digital media and website (working on it.)

Training on rational use of water


"Rational use of water ': this was the last train that could follow Roberto Maruja and technicians FIDER Jinotega. This time we saw the whole process, that continue Don Carlos and Queen Silvia before making his masterful lesson: Collect information about it, write the guides to deliver to the recipient families, prepare cardboard that will be used as graphic support during the workshop ...


When everything was planned and rehearsed, take bike path and Los Horcones SASL. The tocoume make me assistant in the school of Don Silvio SASL, and there debut a new form that you can better monitoring of gender indicators.

With his usual good care of beneficiaries and recipients, and a nice family environment, we started training. Definition, resources, and use the water cycle, and details like that leaves only a 6% forest cover in the basin of apana, served as an introduction to enter in the matter. He talked about the pressure on the quantity and quality of water resources of Nicaragua, and the share water consumption per person and day. Comentáronse examples like Chigüite, which consumes less water than Sasl although it has more population, since they use meters. Also appeared as counsel to put the latrines to more than 20 meters from water sources.


In the field of health, transport and Treated water storage, the diseases spread by poor water quality and methods of potabilización (especially chlorination and solar disinfection).


On a more strictly agronomists, and assuming that agriculture is the human activity that consumes more water (including irrigation wasting a 92%), enumeráronse methods water conservation (forest cover, legumes, barriers, mulch), types (dripping with bamboo) and keys to improving irrigation.

At the end of the day, exchanged views on how much water we consume and why. Silvio sought to raise awareness on this subject with examples and pictures. Finally remembered the importance of choosing the installation of meters (now the families of SASL pay 15 pesos for the months, regardless of which consume) and here began a lively debate between critics and subscribers to the idea.

Gretchen's Striped On Real Housewives

interview the beneficiary owner Betzabeth Navarro

Betzabeth Maria Garcia Navarro owns a farm, "He Effort" in El Mojon (SASL), among the eighty who are benefiting from the "Project for Strengthening the capacities of communities of micro- River basin SASL for sustainable management of natural resources "in Jinotega.

Monitoring valerian as Barreiras na milpa with Ronald

What is your relationship with other families benefiting? Did it improve since all were summoned to the same project?

improved. For me, therefore, that all good.

Is there anything you would like to be included in the project in the future?

For me it would be good latrine, because here in the community there is no proper latrines. There are, but they are damaged. It would be nice to helped us, if you can, then. It would be good for the community. For best conditions, the households.

How long are the toilets?

As fourteen fifteen years.

What parts of the house would like to replace or improve or change?

change it, because my roof is wrong. You can see here that is not right. The main wooden pillars wrong. The roof, you see that is smaller, is wrong. Sure it was good to be possible, but this is my life.

Once you finish the project, "is able to continue managing the farm?

course. Perfectly. Because we have given training to learn ourselves to improve, then we have to continue, we need not stuck there.

Do you think that, overall, the community of SASL, will remain the best practices that were imparted in the training of Don Carlos and Don Silvio?

For me yes, because I understand that if we are for the good of us, to each beneficiary. Because it was an excellent training we received them, to improve, not deteriorate.

citrus you Monitoring na horta with Othniel

How would the possibility of joining the families benefiting from the project, for example by forming a cooperative of organic coffee as we saw in Mancotal?

Well, to me it would be good because, well, you know you have better support associated with the cooperative or improvements on the farm. Because maybe you do organic farm management. So for me it would be good then, but we must have a beginning, perhaps to organize.

gender of the trainers, the last to be given, what think? Did you like? Are they good for the lifestyle of the community of SASL?

Perfect. For me is perfect because you know that maybe in the households the husband does not help one to manage and learn a little man and perhaps the children. So share with. It was perfectly fine. So they learn and learn we, the wives, mothers with children.

A sow Doll, na galera do Proxecto, sae de contas this month

Well, then, These were the questions we had prepared, is there anything else you want to add on issues affecting the community right now SASL? Any structural deficiencies that would have to sue the authorities as power lines?

course. For example here we need the light. No electricity, because in our community, SASL down if there is, but up here we were always so. And there have been many meetings to management that we bring the light but are only talks. For example, have been three times to see if we put the light and so far it is everything. You have to see how it does a by its means, for example, I in my case I have the economic resources to do so. It would be nice, then, would improve and in this way.

What they have is not lighting? Do they make spending on batteries, batteries?

in batteries and gas. Because you know that here in the field you spend. Because for example I have my furnace work, sometimes do things early, sometimes quite late and then occupy the gas, and spend it.

Okay. Well, with this end.

Well, for my part I thank participating with me in my hogar, and I hope that is not the first nor the last, which is each other longer.

How has the farm since the beginning of the project today?

is progressing well, yes.

What improvements did you have?

had improved because first forty trees planted orange, so I did not. And then I was getting twenty, then planted coffee. There are the two plants that are beneficial for me in production they will give me the orange and brown.

Ingrid net Bernardo, Christopher eo neighbor, watering UNHAS das laranxeiras.

What problems found so far?

Well, thank God I've been solved with my work and some "Moso" which I have set and good, and it follows therefore there are always difficulties at the time of doing things, but efforts have to be done .

What were those difficulties?

fences still needed me because I write better and then fumigated, "foliated" that I have done personally. With crops at first I were giving worms, mosquitoes, such as whiteflies, but that what we were sprayed with eliminating. I with the sow until the time I have not had a problem because I have only to be taking care three times a day, giving a bit of freedom for her to walk around and go back to leave his hat.

What products has benefited his family in this project?

oranges, coffee, taro I have, I have the vetiver, the grass, the galley of the pig, the pig, the silos, a regadorcita for coffee, and now this new, the chicken coop.

Galiñeiro built in Phase III gives .

What can you say about the work of technicians?

They have been good, especially this guy who is with us, watching us (Silvio), is the latter, he is a decent, peaceful, good has coordinated with us.

How is your relationship with the rest of beneficiari @ s?

Pretty good, we have no problem in the project. Reviews

aspects to the project or would like to improve.

I would not ask for anything, maybe ... because I feel that we actually have done many good things ... But it bothers me enough that entry here [in the estate], it would have to compose, in the mud, and then I need a little help with that input.

Do you see yourself able to continue managing the property without the technical staff of the project?

I have to, I can not go back because they lose everything worked for me would be bad, would be like rubbing salt to the current ...

O "Viverito" coffee.

And you think that training he received helped him and he will help continue the development of his farm independently?

Yes, because I'm remembering all the things that have given lectures, talks up how we should manage the household (gender), how the family must be united, and then all that to me is to serve.

Do you think the rest of the beneficiary community would be able to pursue their farms without the project?

Yes, because as I say, take one thing to lose already achieved ... would be the dumbest and most ... because who wants health if not ill?, the saying goes! So there we are.

A taro.

What about the possibility of joining the beneficiary families after completion of the project, for example by forming a cooperative?

Yes would be good because there are already claims would perhaps along the process, has advantages. To do this would be necessary to give us some lectures and comprometermos to be more honest with each other, there is no jealousy and we all work together because unity is strength, then we'd be together like the swallows they say that a single does not make summer.

But it would be good to give talks to people what is a cooperative, how to become a member of a cooperative, that there must be compliance with the meetings that have to be there, and apply the talks ...

Would you be willing to undertake such a project?

Well, being a good thing for us is to do it!

What did you think of the realization of gender training?

right, because as I was talking about self, family bonding, respect to be taken with each other, both with their children as their parents, together, which may have a difficulty, but if puedo ayuda del win with each other, but we are united in nothing there is Hari. Saw the need, yes.

Vein Through My Nipple

Farewell, Nicaragua

"With that completed the tasks we take for PCR. Now come the Post-PCR, "said Xavi. It is sometimes necessary to see how simple phrases can be loaded with so much feeling to the listener .. Thus ended our experience as PCRs in Nicaragua and now we can only refuxiarnos who gave us the bread molladiño D. Erika D. Beer-sheba in coffee or a glass of hot pinolillo Fran's mother and D. Ilda the sound of bachata that this time we will have to dance alone ... But sad though, we have seen loaded with great stories to share, only joy and energy to start the second part of this adventure: the post-PCR.

Regarding the recent activities of Jinotega, in recent weeks, and already in Phase III were the capabilities of Rational Use of Water in the communities of SASL and Los Horcones,

repartiuse material for building the coop from, built the coop from e. ..

chickens and SASL Los Horcones already have a place to sleep! The PCRS

imparts a small workshop for personal computing FIDER on PowerPoint presentations and how to create a blog and thus was born as the FIDER of Jinotega: fiderjinotega.blogspot.com

But how do we get per share, these days I'll publish their entries!

On 14 and 15 September was held the independence of Nicaragua from the English and, taking advantage of what was a holiday, Maruja returned to camp to spend a few days with the family of D. Beer-sheba and enjoy the quiet life in the countryside and beautiful people living in it. However, Roberto was the tedious job of passing the minutes of Internal Assessment FIDER we've had in a few weeks ago (very productive and very important issues that came out)

and enjoy the quiet life ... pulpería of the Juansito!

And once on Friday came the moment of farewell party for SASL, which as always was dancing (and drinking ...)

between rubber (hangover) and sadness, the next day was more and an abuse of our emotional health, many tears were shed by the faces of the families of SASL, and also by our ... And yet, we had some little bit of strength to make a second farewell FIDER's office, where we xuntarnos all and all around a few bottles of Flor de Cana sharing the last moments of another small "family".

On Sunday, Don Carlos invited him to a rich soup only. Do not be surprised by another "pelon" photo: Michael, voluntary Axunica in Granada, this past days acompañarnos decided to go engines warming (he says goodbye to Nicaragua next week).

Already despedímonos night with dinner and Juansito pulpería of Rachel.

But our ordeal would last even until the next day, despedirnos when touched Fran's time to catch the bus-Jinotega Managua.

And after going through central office FIDER to bring documentation of Phase II, the sun was falling in Nicaragua and he went down with us. Between airplanes and airports increasingly seemed more unreal all lived, and now there is a PCR in Zas and another in Madrid with hearts latendo carreiriño for some of SASL to Mojon.
