Community Economy from the Intercultural Perspective of Gender for the Good Living of Peoples

Abstract

This research has analyzed the experience of the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast, the government and family participation in terms of the community economy. It was a qualitative research from a hermeneutical perspective, books, scientific articles, congress reports, press articles, policies and institutional norms were analyzed. The results revealed that in Latin America, mestizo, indigenous and afro-descendant families and peoples are looking for ways that allow them not only to survive, but to live in a dignified and just system; even if it is not strengthened, it is the loss of the community economy by conventional economic systems. The community economy is another civilizatory model, it is a philosophy that today emerges with ancestral roots, strengthened by the diverse socioeconomic practices of families, organizations and peoples and that affirm that "Another Economy is Possible". Therefore, it is necessary to pose some challenges to strengthen the community economy and be the foundation of the new paradigm that is the Social Solidarity Economy.
