¿Cómo es un intercambio de conocimientos Sur-Sur?
Este enfoque desafía la tradicional transferencia de conocimiento de arriba hacia abajo, del Norte Global al Sur Global y, en cambio, valora la experiencia de las organizaciones y comunidades locales tomando en cuenta enfoques de género e interculturalidad.
Este concepto quedó ejemplificado durante un intercambio transformador de conocimientos celebrado en Oaxaca, México, organizado por Green Empowerment y @proyectosfm y financiado por la Fundación #VatheuerFamilyFoundation.

What does an anti-colonial knowledge exchange look like?
This theory challenges the traditional top-down knowledge transfer from the Global North to the Global South and, instead, values the expertise of local organizations and communities.
Learn how this concept was exemplified during a transformative Knowledge Exchange held in Oaxaca, Mexico, organized by Green Empowerment and @proyectosfm and funded by the #VatheuerFamilyFoundation.

Hoy celebramos el Día de la Gestión Comunitaria del Agua 💧🌎
Green Empowerment conecta comunidades remotas con recursos hídricos esenciales, asegurando agua limpia y segura, saneamiento adecuado y educación sobre higiene. Nuestros proyectos empoderan a las comunidades locales para tomar el control de su gestión del agua, fomentando la confianza, la sostenibilidad y un futuro con autonomía.
Por ejemplo, Green Empowerment con su socio @engimecuador trabajaron con la comunidad de Cóndor Mirador, Tena, Ecuador, para desarrollar un nuevo programa de Agua y Saneamiento.

🎥 REPOST from @sabahre2: It’s been a wild ride along the roadmap since the inception of SabahRE2 with communities being the forefront for the energy catalyst.
