I Want My Neighborhood
The "I Want My Neighborhood" Recovery Program, created by Supreme Decree No. 14 on January 22, 2007, establishes a model of intervention that combines the criteria of integrality, intersectionality and citizen participation in order to achieve greater social and urban integration through recovered public spaces, and better environmental conditions and social relations. The project emphasizes the importance of physical work, the cleaning, and improvement of the neighborhood, the training of leaders and neighbors in areas linked to the use of improved collective spaces built by the program, the strengthening of neighborhood organizations and community meetings. Furthermore, it puts in place participatory evaluations of the program and capacity-building programs for the community so that, once the program intervention is completed, they are able to maintain it and carry out future ventures. Most of the neighborhoods included in the program focus on social problems such as unemployment, poverty, drug addiction, delinquency, etc. The "I Want My Neighborhood" program seeks to contribute to projects that improve physical deterioration and efforts to reduce social vulnerability.
