Community Consultation of the Darién Gap Sustainable Development Program
The Community Consultation was part of a mechanism for social participation in the context of the Darién Gap Sustainable Development Program. Through the implementation of 45 workshops (18 for indigenous groups, 15 Afro-descendant populations and 12 Latin populations), a number of relevant stakeholders were consulted in the province of Darién. Proposals were made on infrastructure, legalization of tenure, support for employment generation and education. The proposals were given to the government and the Inter-American Development Bank to seek answers for the involved communities.
