POLANCO NOY, Axel CABALLERO RIVACOBA, María Teresa. Strengthening of Local Actor Capacities for Local Development Management from a Cultural Standpoint. []. , 14, 1, pp.45-67. 05--2020. ISSN 2306-9155.
Objective:
Despite advances, there is still lack of understanding of culture as a valuable resource for local development management in Cuba, today. Therefore, strengthening local actor capacities is a strategic axis. Fundamental elements regarding capacity strengthening within the Local Development Program are explained from a cultural perspective.
Methods:
This study was based on the methodology of generalization of experiences, to collect data, as well as questionnaires and document review.
Main results:
Standards are suggested for future initiatives, in order to reinforce local actor capacities to design and implement strategies and projects with a multisector vision that integrate actions that transform the local reality, creating a greater impact on the quality of life of the population, to be considered in their cultural context.
Conclusions:
The need to tackle local actor training to achieve local development from a cultural standpoint, is corroborated.
