These include llama fibres (wool), meat and hide, and are the principal source of family income in the southern provinces of Potosi Department. The paper gives an account of the activities of the FORCAMELIDOS Project, which is being financed by the EU and executed by ACRA (Asociacion Cooperacion Rural en Africa y America Latino, an Italian non-governmental organization) and the local AZCCA. The project aims to improve the living conditions and economics of the livestock-raising families of the region, and its activities are oriented towards evaluating the development experience already gained by ARCCA in strengthening organizational and administrative capacities, improving knowledge of the commercial aspects of llama products, implementing an appropriate communication system, and making local and sectoral policy proposals. An analysis is also being made of the principal production systems (farming systems and artisanal production) of the southern Potosi region, with attention to population dynamics and socioeconomic strategies. 收起
