Estrategia gubernamental y políticas públicas para el desarrollo local en el municipio Camajuaní, Cuba

Abstract

This article reports on some research aimed to design a strategy for changing government management of local development in the municipality of Camajuaní, so that local actors were brought together along with the government to carry out some participatory government management in the territory. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for local development were diagnosed in order to devise an action plan integrating the municipality’s Local Development Strategy. This work led to find out that the problems detected were due to a lack of preparation, hindering the economic model updating. The proposed action plan bestows greater participation on local actors in the Local Development Strategy, trains all actors, helps in changing the government management paradigm, and brings about change in government work methods to achieve local development.
