As the dialogue processes progress, the attribute of legitimacy has been strengthened in the territory.

Participation in the dialogue process

Illapel: 2.200 persons (18%)*

Canela: 380 persons(7,1%)*

Salamanca: 3.000 persons(30%)*

Los Vilos: 600 persons (8%)*

* Comparative basis: participation in municipal elections

2016.

Through a participatory

process (cabildos,

territorial meetings,

Pladecos and others)

each commune has

constructed its own

vision.

The vision then becomes

operational in different

thematic forums, which

deal with the issues

separately. Each

commune defines the

number of forums.

Based off months of work

through forums, a

portfolio of projects and

programs is defined.

These teams are created

to monitor the progress of

the project portfolio. They

bring together actors from

the Municipality, Tironi,

Elemental, DIDECOS and

community organizations.

Finally the participatory

teams are those that

manage the

communication and the

instances of participation

that are generated for the

community

Somos Choapa: a Cross-Sectional Approach

Somos Choapa aims to contribute to the economic, social and environmental development of the Choapa

province and its communities.

The assumption behind the methodology of Somos Choapa is that community participation and the joint work of the

different actors is what will produce sustainable development. Thus, the program is composed of central

elements:

The starting point is the

construction of a “shared vision":

this translates into a diverse and

socially validated project portfolio.

It is participatory: it seeks active

involvement from all parties involved

and that are present in the territory,

such as political authorities, civil

society and other companies.

Su foco es el desarrollo de las comunas

de la Provincia del Choapa, poniendo por

delante el bien común del territorio y no

las demandas particulares de cada

localidad o grupo de interés.

Shared vision Participation Common good

Its focus is on the development of the

communes of the Choapa province,

placing the common good of the territory

ahead and not attending particular

demands of any locality or interest group.
