GeoPark signs alliance with Findeter for the development of southern Casanare

With the purpose of identifying productive models with potential to boost the economy of municipalities influenced by Llanos 34, a block located in the jurisdiction of Villanueva and Tauramena, GeoPark signed an alliance with the Territorial Development Financial Institution, Findeter.

During the presentation of the agreement before representatives of the Casanare Government as well as delegates from the local administrations of Tauramena and Villanueva, GeoPark's social manager, Luisa Vargas, stated: “Working on the design of the roadmap that will guide the territorial development of the municipalities where we operate since 2012 is the way to give back to Casanare. Economic diversification is key to ensuring the well-being of our neighbors, and that is the legacy we are building in this region.” The presentation of the new GeoPark-Findeter alliance took place at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of Casanare in Yopal.

This project is part of Findeter's initiative “Territory of Opportunities,” which is being implemented in other areas of the country, including the cities of Montería and Santa Marta. In the case of Casanare, the objective is to provide the municipalities in the south of the department with a strategy that identifies opportunities for territorial development based on the productive vocation of the region.

Over the next twelve months, a multidisciplinary team from the Territorial Development Financial Institution will work hand in hand with actors from the public and economic life of the mentioned municipalities, with the purpose of:

1. Conducting a characterization and diagnosis of Tauramena and Villanueva based on the territorial economic vocations.
2. Prioritizing the productive sectors according to their potential and capacity for execution and impact.
3. Identifying alliances with public and private entities that can join the prioritized projects to ensure their sustainability.

Based on the inputs obtained, a plan for the productive and economic development of the municipalities will be designed, which will be submitted for consideration by communities and authorities.

Findeter is Colombia's Development Bank linked to the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit. The entity supports sustainable progress through the financing of infrastructure projects that generate well-being and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
