Nexos+1 : Green jobs in the recycling chain<\/span><\/i> brought together more than 60 actors from the public, private, financial and cooperation sectors to address one of the country's most urgent challenges: how to close gaps and generate decent employment through recycling.<\/span><\/p>

According to project reports, through the initiative <\/span>Green Jobs Arequipa<\/b>, concrete progress is already being made:<\/span><\/p>
