Development Plan for the peasant community of Chacayán

The Development Plan for the peasant community of Chacayán (Pasco) was an experience through which the community, together with the University of San Marcos, the mining company CENTROMIN and the local and regional governments, developed a participatory plan in all its stages, from the diagnosis and definition of lines of action to the execution, monitoring and evaluation of the process. In this experience it was particularly important to identify problems, search for financing and implement programs and projects of integral local development, taking care of economic, environmental as well as social, community and cultural aspects. The final objective was to develop a sustainable, comprehensive, transparent and participatory development plan from a perspective of governance in which the community actively participates in its own management.
