Neighborhoods and Communities of Truth Program
The Neighborhoods and Communities of Truth Program was based on the results obtained after the implementation of this same project in Peru. The objective of this innovation was to seek strategies, through participatory planning, to improve the quality of life of citizens, reduce poverty and meet the demands and issues of the different neighborhoods. This initiative was adapted to Guatemala, and above all, to the belt of poverty that surrounds the metropolitan area of the capital. Therefore, after delimiting the specific purposes of the participatory process, a program for the prevention of violence and a health program were created.
