Organizational framework
On January 15, 2022, there was a spill of 11,900 barrels of oil at the La Pampilla refinery in the district of Ventanilla in the constitutional province of Callao, affecting the beach areas and the coastal ecosystem of this district and other coastal districts of Lima and Huaral, classifying it as “the worst ecological disaster that has occurred in Lima in recent times”, estimating the government through the National Emergency Operations Center ( COEN ) that the spill affected approximately 180 hectares of land, and 15,846 hectares of sea surface ( OEFA ); declaring an emergency in the geographical area that includes the coastal marine zone of the affected districts.
In the evaluation it was determined that the main economic activity affected was artificial fishing in the districts of Ventanilla in the constitutional province of Callao; Ancón and Santa Rosa in the province of Lima; and Aucallama and Chancay in the province of Huaral; which correspond, according to the Single Register of Affected People, to a total of 3,940 families ( June 2022 ), dedicated to fishing activities, fish filtering, transportation of inputs and products, marketing of hydrobiological products, and maintenance services for nets and boats. Additionally, livestock activity in the Aucallama district was significantly affected in stables very close to the beach, affecting 30 families.
Artisanal fishing is not only the main source of work for the affected people, but also provides hydrobiological resources for self-consumption, the food industry, markets, restaurants and hotels. These affectations are not being adequately addressed by the company that caused the emergency and the government institutions are unable to serve the entire affected population, so this project is expected to provide support to 5 local governments and 1090 families. of fishermen on board and livestock producers affected.
Given the affectation caused by the spill and the scope of the project activities and the areas of intervention planned, it is necessary to have the support of a technical assistant in the field monitoring tasks, registration of beneficiaries and equipment and materials delivered for the productive recovery, as well as the requirements thereof and the technical assistance services that will be carried out.
