As part of its social commitment and sustainability strategy, Drummond Ltd., in alliance with the Center for Socioeconomic and Regional Studies (Cesore), is leading the pilot phase of the Regional Center for the Creation and Management of High Impact Projects. This initiative is aimed at consolidating a Project Bank in the department of Cesar and strengthening the formulation of sustainable productive projects in the departments of Cesar and Magdalena, with the objective of promoting territorial development and the generation of value in its area of influence.
The process is developed through a theoretical-practical approach, with specialized technical support to community organizations, in order to turn ideas into viable, bankable projects, aligned with the guidelines of financing entities.
“At Drummond we are committed to strengthening local capacities and structuring viable projects that generate sustainable impacts. This process allows us to leave knowledge installed in the territory and support communities in better planning and development management,” said Ever Carrillo Navarro, coordinator of social and environmental projects of corporate social responsibility at Drummond Ltd.
The initiative benefits six associations of farmers and women from the municipalities of Chiriguaná, El Paso, Becerril, La Jagua de Ibirico and Agustín Codazzi, in the department of Cesar, as well as the municipality of Fundación in Magdalena, who are currently formulating productive projects in areas such as food processing, agricultural production and ecotourism.
“We are learning how to formulate projects, both the women who started the association and our children who are now attending university. We are confident that, once the project is formulated, we will be able to materialize it and obtain financing to industrialize the dairy processing that we do today in an artisanal way,” said Sandra López, a member of the Municipal Association of Black and Indigenous Peasant Women of the Municipality of La Jagua de Ibirico (Ammucinjai).
Among the initiatives being formulated are animal feed plants, sustainable cattle fattening systems, dairy and fruit processing, poultry production and ecotourism development, aimed at generating added value, improving productivity and opening up new economic opportunities in the territory.
With this process, Drummond reaffirms its commitment to strengthening human and social capital, economic diversification and the promotion of decent work, in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.
