The final product of the project was the formulation of the Local Economic Development Plan for the Municipality of Catacamas (PDEL).

 

The PDEL provides different scenarios for investment in economic sectors to encourage and boost the economy of the municipality of Catacamas. Besides of investments, the PDEL proposes various policies in a proposal drawn up to build a worthy, participative and productive city through employment generation, economic growth and social responsibility.
