Public Involvement Plan Summary
This project recognizes the need to promote and
strengthen civil society organizations, increase the participation of
women, and involve more people in decision-making on the sustainable
development of the SJRB. The initial steps toward enhancing stakeholder
participation have been already taken during the execution of the PDF
Block B project and through other actions of MINAE and MARENA. These steps
now need to be reinforced and further developed through programs to
educate people about sustainable development and adopting sustainable
production practices and lifestyles within a comprehensive watershed
management approach that does not yet exist.
More than 100 institutions, government agencies, and
civil society organizations took part in preparing this proposal,
contributing their experience and hands-on knowledge to identify the
elements needed to formulate, validate and identify the strategy for the
formulation of the SAP. Two national (one in each country) and two
binational workshops were held during the execution of the PDF Block B
project. In addition, all the consultants involved in the preparation of
this proposal met regularly with technical counterparts from government
agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGO), local governments
officials and representatives of civil society groups, during the
development of the activities. These organizations, that are listed below,
are expected to actively participate during the formulation of the SAP;
not only through workshops and meetings, but, in some cases, through their
active participation in the execution of selected demonstration projects.
