Integral Neighborhood Improvement for Better Living
Integral Neighborhood Improvement for Better Living is a project promoted since 2005 by the Municipality of Cuenca, together with the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), in order to improve the coverage, quality and quantity of public services provided by the Municipality and its companies, such as the socioeconomic conditions of the population through the intensive creation of employment and local economic development under technical, economic, financial, environmental and social sustainability criteria. As part of this initiative through to the year 2008, 200 neighborhood meetings had been held involving 3200 community representatives in which 670 construction works were prioritized. Among other achievements, this program has improved basic infrastructure, urban and health services and the public safety of various sectors of the population. In addition, around 6400 jobs were created, and 679 civil works executed.
