The year 2019 was full of challenges, learnings, and achievements. We started the year with the commitment to conclude, in the best way possible, the third phase of the No Clima da Caatinga project, the institution’s largest project. At the end of the year, this project was awarded the Innovation Challenge Award of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) for its innovative actions to promote sustainable development in the Caatinga.
Finally, I thank all our partners who believe and support our actions, making our goal of contributing to the conservation of the Caatinga and sustainable development a reality and helping to rewrite the relationship of rural communities with the Caatinga, promoting a new perspective on the biome. I also thank the entire team and members of the institution’s Board for their passion, dedication, and commitment to the mission of the Associação Caatinga and the promotion of human well-being. In the following pages, you will have an overview of our actions throughout 2019.
