3. Community Participation and Social Mobilization

Communities must become the authors of their own development. They therefore need sustained processes of information, communication and social education to provide the tools for them to take up their own problems and propose appropriate solutions for them.

  • a. Plan Padrino (The Godfather Plan)

    This is a program whose purpose is to contribute to targets of coverage and quality of education set by the government, through a strategic alliance between central and local government, the private sector and NGOs to implement integrated projects in infrastructure development, training and provision of facilities. The Plan intends to implement participatory methodologies during the execution of projects, contribute to the strengthening of the local system - this being understood to be the set of government organizations, NGOs and community organizations - which will improve its capacity for action and independent organization and become leading players in the development of a given community.

    The projects developed by the program should be proposed so that opportunities in educational infrastructure will open up to the community so that they will become poles of development or centers of social attraction where different community activities will be implemented. In coordination with the Ministry of Education, the focus has been placed on the 40 municipalities most affected as receivers of the displaced, 29 Municipalities in former rehabilitation zones, and 24 Municipalities in the Frontier Security, Sovereignty and Social Development Plan. This benefits public and private schools attended by Strata 1 and 2 children with the approval of the regional education office and the support of the local Mayor to secure sustainability for the project and indeed, to justify the need for it.
