Strong community organizations play an important role in building resilient and participatory territories. Prodeco continues to strengthen the capacities of Community Action Boards (JAC), recognizing them as key actors in representing collective interests, mobilizing community initiatives and building relationships with local institutions.
In partnership with ASOJUNTAS and FEDECESAR, Prodeco develops training, advisory and accompaniment processes tailored to the needs and level of development of local Community Action Boards. Topics include community organization, public and community contracting, access to institutional programs, social investment project development, administrative and accounting processes, and action planning.
In 2025, the program delivered 109 training and support sessions, involving 99 Community Action Boards across nine territorial areas in La Jagua de Ibirico, Becerril and El Paso. These processes are strengthening the tools community organizations need to participate more effectively, manage collective initiatives and engage with local institutions.
Looking ahead, Prodeco continues to support the preparation of new community leaders and the transfer of knowledge between outgoing and incoming leadership, helping organizations strengthen their continuity, resilience and capacity to manage community processes autonomously.
