We are pleased to announce the publication of the document presenting the winning initiatives in the framework of the Significant Experiences 2020 event (Experiencias Significativas 2020), in the Gender category (SDG #5). This document has been prepared by Insuco and CoreWoman, and is one of the key products of the Project for the Implementation of the Gender Guidelines for the Mining and Energy Sector, led by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Colombia, with the support and financing of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Experiencias Significativas en Gestión Ambiental y Social del Sector Minero Energético is a program of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the National Hydrocarbons Agency and the National Mining Agency.
