Analysis of interviews with young coca and poppy growers in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.

The document presents the main results and findings in interviews realized to 38 young coca and poppy growers. This research was carried out in four Latin American countries: Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. The objective was to identify the main characteristics of these young people, as well as understand the incentives and contexts that encourage them to stay in this activity or to make a change in the future. Besides, we identified similarities and differences in the conditions of the participants among these countries.
CHILE: Electoral Balance of Rural Communes in the Municipal and Regional Government Elections 2024

This report presents a brief electoral balance of the 2024 elections in rural areas, considering only the results for the offices of mayors and GOREs. Unlike other Rimisp reports, on this occasion, a comparative analysis with previous processes is not carried out due to the fact that the recent elections present different characteristics (mandatory voting and a decrease in the percentage of the majority required to elect GOREs). The territorial focus of the study is on the commune as the unit of analysis, using the categorisation defined by the National Rural Development Policy (PNDR), namely: urban (82), rural (185) and mixed (78).
