This document forms part of the systemization of the FAO project “Strengthening of High-Andean Indigenous Organizations and Recovery of their Traditional Products” (2007-2011), financed by the New Zealand Aid Programme. Its aim is to strengthen national capacities to recover, systemize, disseminate, adapt and replicate some of the processes and lessons that arose during execution of the project.The key objective is to learn and analyze the strategies and methodologies applied, based on the visions of the key project stakeholders. The aim then is to improve them and turn them into a knowledge platform to influence rural development policies, as a way of extrapolating the results and helping to combat poverty.The document reports three experiences that were judged successful by the beneficiary communities themselves.
• Successful Experience No. 1
The importance of family and community development plans.
• Successful Experience No. 2

• Successful Experience No. 3
