Cenca

Peru - Urban Development Institute

Created in 1980, Cenca works essentially in Lima, around one of the dominant issues in this capital: the growing rural exodus that leads to the extension of the city and the construction of precarious and vulnerable popular neighborhoods on the outskirts of the capital. Cenca works hand in hand with national and international allies; it is also concerned with working in collaboration with municipalities and public institutions to improve local legislation and the infrastructure and facilities that benefit the populations.
Cenca directs its work through 5 strategic axes: City and Territory, Environmental Management, Gender Equity, Solidarity in the Economy, Co production of knowledge. All activities are oriented towards Social Transformation at the personal, community and structural levels.
