Problem

As a result of the citizen survey as well as the roundtables with specialists in the rural area, it was detected that there is an insufficiency of water and a lack of focus on the support or products for the rural area of the municipality, so it is sought to find a mechanism to link the rural area with all the support and options that exist to achieve the participation of more citizens.

Status quo

The Directorate of Rural Development is the agency in charge of providing rural communities with the necessary instruments that allow them, through different programs, support, and services, to improve the quality of life of families and promote the social and economic development of the rural area of the Municipality of Chihuahua. To achieve this goal, it is considered of vital importance to open more and better spaces for participation and articulation between municipal authorities organized civil society, and the citizens of the rural sector, in order to build an effective collaborative governance to address the problems and promote the social and economic development of the rural sector of the municipality.

The goal is to institutionalize a space for deliberation and participation where authorities and citizens can collaborate more effectively in the analysis and construction of projects and work models that contribute to the social and economic improvement of the rural area of Chihuahua City.

Action

- Reform the regulatory framework to expand citizen participation in this sector of the municipality.
- Consolidate an open, transparent, and participatory process for the formation of a multidisciplinary group that will generate a citizen space for the rural area of the municipality.
