Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Osa Conservation Area (ACOSA)
The Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Osa Conservation Area (Span. ACOSA) is a project that sought to involve organized civil society, communities, Local Governments in the ACOSA region and Central Government units so that all stakeholders would assume a shared responsibility for the protection and sustainable management of natural resources, while meeting the economic and social needs of the local population. The project made progress in the area of women's participation, marginalized groups and their organizations. The project also had important impacts on development opportunities, the improvement of capacities in the handling of problem solving and in reducing poverty in the region.
