Who are we: the GeneACTOR Consortium

ANCI Lazio coordinates the development cooperation project “GenerACTOR – Community gardens as a GenerACTOR for good governance, active citizenship and participation“, co-financed by the European Commission (Contract no.  CSO-LA/2021/171273-3/13) under the European Development Fund.  As the title mentions, the project insists on the creation of community gardens in the urban area of Barranquilla (Colombia), as an instrument for good governance, active citizenship and participation.

The main objectives of the project are:

a) strengthening the capacities of local authorities and communities to co-create sustainable urban transformation strategies, 

b) development of a participatory model for the design and implementation of urban community gardens and green public spaces, 

c) Implement a networking strategy as a tool for knowledge exchange and sustainability, thus contributing to strengthening the multi-level governance of the city of Barranquilla (Colombia), integrating urban and rural communities into sustainable development initiatives and contributing to reducing the levels of poverty and food insecurity of the most vulnerable communities, in particular migrants, based on innovation and circular economy approaches.

This logic of intervention has been adopted to favor new models of urban development in order to implement the commitments of the Global Green Deal and the SDGs and promote the integration of the most vulnerable populations and the reduction of their levels of vulnerability.
