Monitoring of the Enhanced Strategy for Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction
The Reinforced Strategy for Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction (span. ERCERP) was approved by the Nicaraguan government in 2001. Its preparation, however, begain in 2000 through a participatory process in which several civil society organizations met with State representatives to voice their demands for their inclusion into the Strategy. Since the approval of the ERCERP, many civil society organizations at the local level, coordinated at the national level by the Civic Coordinator (CC), have carried out follow-up and compliance monitoring efforts on the commitments adopted in the Strategy. Likewise, with the support and collaboration of the Nicaraguan Network for Democracy and Local Development, these monitoring efforts have focused on gathering data from different sources to produce annual indicators on the progress and fulfillment of the ERCERP.
