Socialization Workshops of the K'atun Plan

The Socialization Workshops of the K'atun Plan were developed by the Secretariat of Planning and Programming of the Guatemalan Presidency in order to integrate different social sectors into the planning and formulation stages of the Plan. The workshops were developed in the departments of Izabal, Escuintla, Sololá, Suchitepéquez, Sacatepéquez, Jutiapa, Alta Verapaz, Petén, Zacapa, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala and Huehuetenango. They were initiated in 2014 with a view to establishing priority actions for the period 2016-2020 which is part of the "our Guatemala 2032" strategy, a development plan focused on a long-term model of the country.
