Community participatory diagnostics in rural populations
The community participatory diagnostic project in rural populations is based on the diagnosis of several communities located in the rural areas of Guatuso, Osa Peninsula, Matina, Siquirres and Talamanca. The process integrates the efforts of the Government of the Republic, NGOs, municipalities, international cooperation and especially the Cantonal Development Boards. Its purpose is to identify, with the participation of community members, the basic needs of the communities, and to identify potential obstacles to development and problems that will have to be solved in the development process. The project offers training activities for self-managed development, involving the participation of all members of the community. Up until August 1995, rural communities benefiting from investment commitments in infrastructure, social development and the productive field were Guatuso and Talamanca.
