Yessica Monroy, María del Socorro Mosquera, Ana Rosa Heredia, Julia Susana Mena and Rubiela Cuesta (from top, clockwise) belong to a gender commission run by Consejo Comunitario Mayor de la Asociación Campesina Integral del Atrato (COCOMACIA).
COCOMACIA defends the right to territorial, social and cultural autonomy in Chocó, a Colombian department with a large population of Afro-Colombian people. Because of the gender commission, COCOMACIA guarantees the rights of women to participate in all aspects of the organization.
FHI 360 partners with COCOMACIA through the Strengthening Together Activity (STA) to enhance its organizational capacity and achieve financial autonomy. STA works to improve the capacity and performance of Colombian civil society organizations to facilitate their advocacy in public policy and help them have a greater impact on local development.
