Successful project of productive units led by the Government of Casanare, among the finalists for the award for Well Invested Royalties

A project led by the Government of Casanare through the Departmental Social Action Office, which received recognition as a Successful Project, is currently competing among the three finalists for the Well-Invested Royalties award in the category of Sustainable Income Generation, awarded by the National Planning Department-DNP.

This project was carried out with 3.5 billion pesos from the General System of Royalties - SGR, and served 500 families from the vulnerable population of the Red Unidos strategy in the 19 municipalities of the department of Casanare, generating benefits for around 2,500 people.

Currently, it is competing with the departments of Antioquia and Huila, after passing a rigorous selection system, in which 282 projects from different departments of the country participated.

The final verdict will be announced in April, and if the department of Casanare achieves this recognition, it would strengthen the model of Productive Units as a strategy for generating income and employability for vulnerable and low-income populations.
