In the protagonists’ own words: the case of Peru

Descripción

This publication aims to share the project’s experiences in the case of Peru, which have supported learning processes between direct and indirect stakeholders, and can be extended to all people interested in improving their practices in the present and future, based on the lessons learned from other experiences — in this case ours. As is the case of other materials included in the systemization stage, this product arises from a process of critical and participatory reflection, in which beyond th e numbers and figures resulting from project execution, we wish to delve deeper into several of aspects that could be lost or pass unnoticed by some people, but which play a large part in supporting the results achieved by the project, although very seldom mentioned in project systemizations. These data, knowledge, practices and experiences could become alternatives and criteria for present and future actions, because the stakeholders are convinced of, and agree on, the importance of having reco nstructed the past to produce knowledge and community know-how. Although there may be similarities between projects, each one is unique. Accordingly, these lessons learned, which go far beyond measurement of the achievements of the quantitative targets indicated in the project’s logical framework, serve as useful information to support more secure actions in present and future interventions.
