Convocatoria Nacional No. 152 — Economía Campesina is a targeted call from Colombia's Fondo Emprender (administered by SENA — Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje) that finances productive business plans created and submitted exclusively by farmers and agricultural workers (campesinas y campesinos) throughout the country. The 2026 call was open from March 2 to May 8, 2026, the latter date representing an extension from the original April 30 deadline via official Adenda. The total funding pool for the convocatoria was COP 112 billion (approximately USD 27 million at prevailing rates). Funding is structured as capital semilla condonable — non-reimbursable forgivable seed capital — meaning repayment is waived provided the beneficiary meets employment generation and business management targets defined in Acuerdo 0010 de 2019. Award tiers are indexed to Colombia's monthly minimum wage (SMLMV): up to 80 SMLMV for projects creating up to three jobs, up to 150 SMLMV for up to five jobs, and up to 180 SMLMV for six or more jobs. Applications were submitted via the Fondo Emprender online platform at fondoemprender.com, and support was available by phone at 018000-910270 or by email at soportefe@sena.edu.co on business days.
