Description/notes
DAR is a Peruvian non-profit civil association, created in 2004, which seeks to contribute to an inclusive, equitable and sustainable Amazon basin (2018-2022 vision). Since its creation, it has carried out actions to contribute to the development of the country’s management and sustainable use of its natural resources and environmental management.
DAR is committed to building and strengthening environmental governance and promoting the exercise of human rights. To do this, it develops analysis and research to promote knowledge management and based on this it generates proposals that respond to the problems identified and analyzed, which are strengthened and validated by different actors such as civil society, academia and indigenous peoples, thus generating advocacy actions, a vigilant and collaborative role in the formulation and implementation of public policies (regional, national and local), social surveillance and sustainable local initiatives.
DAR participates as an active member in different spaces at the local, national and regional levels, fulfilling in many of them the role of representation, with informative roles, research, analysis, empowerment of actors, social surveillance, articulation and coordination, preparation of proposals and advocacy.
