Plan Ahí

Plan Ahí (lit. There Plan) was a national and federal plan aimed at articulating policies between the Ministries of Health, Education and Social Development of the Nation at the local level, concentrating especially on towns, little villages and socially/geographically isolated neighborhoods. In those places, through the organization of Management Boards with regional and local institutions, social organizations and neighbors, community participation was fostered so as to strengthen local development and the institutional, political and social inclusion of these localities. The Plan had four pillars of intervention: social organization; production and service organization; benefits and services (health, education and work); and, infrastructure and social equipment. Around these issues, priorities and concrete measures of action were agreed to and various infrastructure works were conducted.
