Development and Peace has been present in Bolivia for over 30 years and through that time, we’ve helped many partners achieve positive results in their struggle to create a just society in Bolivia.

Today, we continue to run a major program that supports grassroots organizations in the country. We have established four priority issues for our program there:

1. Strengthening social movements so that they function democratically, maintain their autonomy and are able to carry out development alternatives;
2. Promoting women, their rights and their role as citizens;
3. Defending the right of indigenous groups to land ownership, which in turn will help preserve social peace in the country; and
4.  Educating and raising the awareness of citizens on the importance of their social and political participation.

We work with six partners in Bolivia, including the National Federation of Bolivian Domestic Workers.
