1.3 Tools for the effective implementation of a participatory process throughout the Project

In addition to the constitution of a competent committee, the PRODEHESA-MONTADO project has opened channels of communication to find out the opinion of the public and the social and economic agents on the main problems of the dehesa/montado, as well as to have direct information on the conditions that make it difficult in each field or area of activity, or of social relationship, to achieve sustainability. The implementation of this PARTICIPATORY TOOL is helpful, without a doubt, to decision-making by the authorities when it comes to favoring sustainability processes.
