Minga of thought in the Cabildo Cachiacu Andaki, part of the Inga Indigenous Resguardo of Nukanchipa Alpa Amukunapa Wasi

On 15 and 16 May 2023, in the community of Cachiacu Andaki, part of the Inga Indigenous Reservation of Nukanchipa Alpa Amukunapa Wasi, a minga de pensamiento was held, convened by ACIMVIP with the support of the Norwegian Human Rights Fund, with the aim of characterizing the context and analysing risk. The minga took place over two days and formed part of the project «Baitawami kincharirkani, waira mana iaikungapa» («I protected myself with a shawl, so that the wind would not get in»).

The community's work was organized in two parts. In the context analysis, community activities, regional events and security incidents of 2022 and the year to date in 2023 were arranged month by month. In the risk analysis, the threats, weaknesses, the community's own capacities and the capacities to be strengthened were identified.

The project planned eleven mingas de pensamiento and a report analysing the context and characterizing the risks of ACIMVIP's member communities; the one in Cachiacu Andaki was one of them.
