NIYAT: a new project for the Slow Food network in Argentina 24 May 2021
Indigenous leadership in the construction of new forms of local governance for the recognition and access to rights.
The word “Niyat” refers to the Wichí name of the traditional leader, who represents a guide and bases his leadership on the knowledge and ability to guide the group in the face of the risks and difficulties they have to face.
There could not have been a more appropriate term to refer to the new Slow Food project launched in Argentina, financed by the European Union and executed by Fundación Gran Chaco in coordination with the Rural Communities Network (RCR), the Rural Women’s Cooperative (COMAR), the gender area of the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (Flacso) and the Ministry of Social Development of the Nation-MDS.
