Flor Naciente designs and implements projects supported by technical capabilities, territorial knowledge, and more than two decades of institutional experience. This track record encompasses projects implemented directly by Flor Naciente and the documented experience of Corporación Escuela Galán, one of its founding members.
We present this experience with an essential distinction: institutional continuity allows Flor Naciente to document capabilities, methodologies, and prior experience, but it does not mean that Flor Naciente directly implemented every historical project or received all the associated funds.
Documented Institutional Experience
More Than 200 Projects
Experience accumulated through social, productive, educational, community-based, environmental, and institutional-strengthening programs.
Presence in More Than 800 Municipalities
Work carried out in cities, municipalities, villages, and rural districts across Colombia, including remote and rural territories and communities facing different forms of vulnerability.
Projects Valued at More Than COP 500 Billion
The aggregate value of documented institutional project experience. This figure represents project and contractual experience; it does not represent funds received exclusively by Flor Naciente.
More Than Five Million People Reached
People engaged through assistance, training, or awareness initiatives throughout the institutional trajectory. This wording does not necessarily mean five million unique direct beneficiaries.
Featured Project: The U’wa Community and El Cocuy National Natural Park
Continuity and Direct Implementation by Flor Naciente
Escuela Galán began two successive projects involving the U’wa community and the area surrounding El Cocuy National Natural Park. Flor Naciente took over both projects, continued their implementation, and brought them to completion. The second project continued the work of the first.
The initiatives involved the National Land Agency, National Natural Parks of Colombia, and companies associated with hydrocarbon transportation infrastructure, including Cenit. This statement describes documented institutional participation and does not imply that these entities currently endorse Flor Naciente.
First Stage: Property Regularization
The first initiative brought together technical, administrative, and financial efforts to support property regularization in the buffer zone of El Cocuy National Natural Park and within the United U’wa Indigenous Reserve.
The reported outcome was the property regularization of approximately 4,000 hectares for the benefit of the United U’wa Indigenous Reserve.
Second Stage: Conservation and Ecosystem Services
The second initiative continued the process and focused on conserving and maintaining ecosystem services in the eastern area of El Cocuy National Natural Park through the property regularization of strategic areas.
Reported outcomes include the property regularization of 19,000 hectares for the United U’wa Indigenous Reserve and the passive restoration of 40,000 hectares through 25 kilometers of linear isolation fencing.
Demonstrated Capabilities
This process demonstrates Flor Naciente’s ability to:
- take over and complete projects already under way;
- coordinate public entities, ethnic communities, and private-sector stakeholders;
- manage technical, administrative, and financial interventions;
- work through territorial and intercultural approaches;
- implement property-regularization, conservation, and environmental-sustainability projects.

Verifiable Experience
Flor Naciente supports its institutional experience with contracts, agreements, and certifications retained in its records. Relevant information may be made available to contracting entities, international cooperation agencies, and prospective partners through formal due-diligence processes, subject to applicable confidentiality and data-protection requirements.
The internal database used to organize this experience is not published and does not include every historical project. The figures presented on this page are therefore consolidated institutional figures expressed conservatively.
