Purpose of the organization: Vision CONDESAN is known as the as the most effective platform to articulate initiatives by a variety of actors in multiple levels, that offer alternatives to the Andean populations in order to integrate the environment in their development strategies, to profit from the economic opportunities derived from the preservation of biodiversity, ensure their food supply, understand environmental and political processes of change and also participate in the design of adaptation strategies to improve their well being. Mission To mobilize the wealth of the Andes, in order to overcome poverty and social exclusion. To do so, CONDESAN seeks to create and share information and knowledge about the environment in Andean rural societies, to promote policy dialogues with local actors, national governments and regional organisms, and to strengthen Andean human and institutional capital in order to promote new leaders for sustainable development on the Andes. Programs and initiatives CONDESAN mobilizes actors from the Andean region through research and development initiatives in key issues for sustainable development. At the same time, it holds three institutional programs: Panorama Andino (to assess the status of knowledge, action and politics on priority issues), Diálogo Andino (to deepen the dialogue among actors in order to transform policy recommendations into agreements for action) and InfoAndina (to communicate efficiently new information and knowledge). These programs and the initiatives branching from them, respond to the analysis axes and the lines of work prioritized for the 2011 – 2015 period.
