#OrganizedCrime Is a First-Order Problem for #LAC Because It is a Growing Barrier to #Development and it's the @WorldBank in a recent report saying so! When will development-based actions finally be taken to address organized crime? 🔎📕shorturl.at/XmHNO

Mejor en 🧵 que en vivo donde interrumpen todo el tiempo. Aquí @lucas_marinll resume la evidencia disponible sobre los programas de desarrollo alternativo. El problema del nuevo programa en el Catatumbo es que repite errores del pasado y no resuelve lo que pretende resolver 👇🏾
¿Funciona el desarrollo alternativo? La evidencia científica muestra que el PNIS de @RafaelPardo no tuvo los resultados esperados por problemas de diseño e implementación. Abro 🧵 con comentarios al programa de @Hora20 con @DianaCalderonF a partir de la evidencia disponible.

The signing of the MoU between @UNODC and @UNIDO this week is of strategic importance to #AlternativeDevelopment as it allows us to strengthen the crucial #marketing component through #agribusiness, value chain development and broader private sector stimulation efforts.

LAC initiatives show #AlternativeDevelopment offers entry points to advance development-oriented responses to illicit drug supply activities beyond cultivation. Many thanks to @ProgramaCOPOLAD partners, @giz_gmbh @SarahDavid1 supporting this learning, reflective exercise.
A timely study by @DeborahAlimi, @ProgramaCOPOLAD and @giz_gmbh on #AlternativeDevelopment's new "terrains", mapping the increasing number of projects in #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean that go beyond the traditional #rural settings. #Innovation at work. copolad.eu/es/guia-de-enfoqu…
