This document consists of the systematization of the experiences of the CG from its start in 1998 up to the year 2005. The Chorlaví Group (CG) is an initiative aimed at supporting the social learning process focussing on institutional and production transformation in rural, poor and traditionally marginalized areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. The systematisation provides the framework for critically analyzing the process that the CG has undergone since its creation. It is meant to document the CG’s development process and identify lessons that might be interesting and useful for other learning networks.
