- APRI-Minga – Peru
A community organization devoted to promoting the empowerment and gender equality of women in the Peruvian Amazon Native Indian communities. Its mission is to assist these communities in their fight against social, economic, and environmental injustice. Together with community leaders, health workers, and traditional healers, APRI-Minga produces radio programs, training material, and workshops on human rights, income generation, self-esteem, family violence, health prevention, reproductive health, and traditional medicine. APRI-Minga works with a network of women and female youths known as promoters who are volunteers from the communities themselves. These promoters encourage the people's active participation in making decisions regarding their own health, fertility, and social well being. - Calandria – Peru

Likewise, it encourages equal gender opportunity and dialogue among different generations. It promotes citizen participation and seeks the recognition of the educational role and the social responsibility of the communications media. It develops training for various actors and institutions, designs communication and expression diagnosis and strategies, provides information and media production services, gives assessment and orientation on the use of local media, promotes and legitimizes development issues, and promotes exercising and valuing democracy. It also produces programs, radio spots, videos, graphic material, and makes up proposals to influence communicators, journalists, and communications media, seeking to consolidate public spaces for youths to speak out and for dialogue among different generations. - Cholonautas - Peru
Cholonautas is the name of a web page that focuses on the academic use of Internet possibilities to thus contribute to filling academic gaps that, along with other variables (ethnic origin, class, gender or generation) hinder the development of Social Sciences in Peru. In this manner, this page seeks to contribute to building a Social Sciences community, promoting academic updating and providing information on debates, events, and publications that circulate in that intellectual field. At the same time, this page seeks to help balance the North-South dialogue with Andeans in the northern hemisphere and make it more horizontal. Taking into account the porosity of disciplinary frontiers and the advantages of an interdisciplinary rapprochement, this project suggests broaching Social Sciences from distinct academic traditions that originated in Anthropology, History, Sociology, literary critique, and cultural critique. - Radio Quillabamba - Perú
Radio Quillabamba is the station with the largest coverage over La Concepción province. It started as an initiative of Dominican missionaries from the Puerto Maldonado Roman Catholic Vicariate,who in 1966 bought a small station that already existed in Quillabamba,and transformed it over the years to the innovative project of communication for social change that we know today. - Red TV (TV Network) - Peru
A TV Cultural (Cultural TV) and Instituto de Diálogo y Propuestas (Dialogue and Proposals Institute) project that fosters the formation of a network of television channels throughout Peru known as Red TV (TV Network). The network includes 115 channels in 24 departments throughout Peru, which go from small municipal channels to commercial television companies. Some of them retransmit signals from Lima channels, others have their own programming. But all have their own band that includes the local news and, based on some measurements made, all have high syntony. Red TV carries out two projects: Televisión Ciudadana (Citizen TV), and Pantalla Viva (The Living Screen). - Red Científica Peruana (Peruvian Science Network) - Peru
Red Científica Peruana (RCP) was founded in 1991, initiating a new era in communications and in information production in Peru. RCP not only was the first "network of networks", Internet, but it also inaugurated a new organizational form where users and institutions make up an assembly of associates in the network itself, for the purpose of encouraging scientific knowledge through different communication channels. RCP put the first Peruvian portal on line as well as the first search machine (Yachay) to connect Peru to the world. It built the first public booth, thus showing a form of access to Internet that even today enables a fairer use of this technology. In addition, it provides connectivity services to companies and individual users and is responsible for domain name administration in Peru.
