Reference timelines. The public competitions reviewed take between 3 and 10 months from opening to results (our calculation with 2026 call documents).

Mapping classification: Awards competitive prizes, with Sernanp, to associations and native communities that already have an enterprise (S/ 340,000 in «Emprendedores por Naturaleza», f1) and supports them with technical assistance and workshops. Mixed origin because the contest is run with Sernanp and f1 does not name the funder.
