WALIR is a collaborative program coordinated by Wageningen University and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UN/ECLAC) and is implemented in co-operation with counterpart institutions in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, France, The Netherlands and the USA. The counterparts coordinate with a much broader group of participant institutions at the international, national and local levels.
