1. Presentation
The Strategic Planning process of the Department of Rivas, coordinated by the Secretary of the Government, is coordinating efforts in the holding of workshops for the awareness-raising process of the Mayors, in the sense that, jointly, gathering their efforts, they achieve the development of the ten municipalities of Rivas.
To achieve this, a departmental strategic planning process is being consolidated, which allows the development of the activities aimed at clearly determining the mission that is consistent with the existing vision of the region's sustainable process, through objectives and goals that allow the grouping of the different sectors involved in the development of the department; consolidating the municipal structures where the unification of efforts and criteria for this growth is promoted.
A greater rapprochement between the municipalities is needed to learn more about the characterization of each one, to share experiences that can be a strategy to face and contribute to solving problems of our population.
Since Rivas is the pilot department for German cooperation, the study aims to share the results obtained in the research, through technical capacities and the promotion of social and municipal development. These interventions, which initially took place in isolation and as piloting, demanded a higher level of thematic and territorial coordination for their institutionalization and extension. Taking advantage of the department's geographical position makes it a strategic element for the development of the region. The volumes of exchange of goods and services that it would generate must be linked through a different vision.
This document contains a quick characterization of the municipal files, where the reader will have a clearer vision about the analysis of the Departmental Strategic Planning. Presenting the final information of the data collection of municipalities of the department of Rivas.
We raise the Databases in Access for a greater speed with the updating of information of the characterization of the municipalities, since these allow us a series of operations which are: add a new record designating a space in the database, move In the records that contain the database stored, these are to go to the first record, next, next and last record that allows us to make others by means of these icons that it displays at the bottom of each screen record, delete, undo, search, and go out.
We can say that the conception of the human being is much more than the plaintiff of primary needs, whose satisfaction or dissatisfaction is the reflection of incomplete human processes. We see the human being as an entity capable of improvement in search of his own transcendence, as a person who influences and decides on positive changes in the quality of his life and that of his fellow citizens.
In this sense, it works to obtain irreversible impact results in the projects and processes where it intervenes, thus relieving citizen participation.
