#SDGAction46126
Description
The initiative is a process of localisation, implementation and consolidation of the Canary Islands 2030 Agenda (https://canarias2030.org/) in a holistic and social framework. The project is based on the implementation of Priority 1.6 (Community approach) and Priority 8.3. (public governance linked to the local reality) of the Regional Agenda (https://www.gobiernodecanarias.org/cmsweb/export/sites/agendacanaria2030/galerias/documentos/agendacanaria2030.pdf).
The aim is to link the protagonists and their local reality to the Canary Islands 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, which means considering their problems and challenges, but also putting the full potential of the neighbourhoods and cities at the service of achieving the Canary Islands goals. The initiative aims to achieve a working methodology that adapts to different types of neighbourhoods and towns, giving them greater capacity, making them more sustainable and, at the same time, becoming a model for other neighbourhoods. This will be achieved through two lines of action. The first involves technical intervention to design, stimulate and facilitate community development processes linked to the Canary Islands 2030 Agenda. This will include training and information activities on the SDGs, the Agenda Canaria 2030 and strategic planning for local development. The second will be the development of a practical guide. This guide can inspire other municipalities in the region that wish to adopt this working methodology.
The project has a duration of one year. The first line of action follows the following outline in four phases:
- Phase 1. During the first five months, the technical team is formed, all the necessary information is gathered so that the team can be trained and a work plan is drawn up. During this time, a public call is made to invite all the municipalities of the Canary Islands to present their candidatures. The technical team classifies the selected territories according to established criteria. The election of the districts is carried out by means of a call to all the municipalities of the Canary Islands. The candidatures must be endorsed by the local councils, social organizations and citizens. The fundamental requirement will be the adhesion of the municipality and the social entities that present themselves to the Canary Islands Agenda 2030.
- Phase II. During the fifth month, applications will be validated by reviewing the documentation. The first face-to-face meetings with local actors are agreed and developed and initial relationships are established.
- Phase III. During the sixth and seventh month, training on sustainability and the Canary Islands Agenda 2030 with a community approach are held in all the selected localities and the Driving Groups are formed. These groups determine the work processes considering the specificities of each neighbourhood or village. In this phase, the driving groups hold the first joint debate.
- Phase IV. In the last six months, the actions related to shared knowledge and community diagnosis for the elaboration of a local development action plan based on the Canary Islands Agenda 2030 have been developed. Finally, the Community Meeting between all the Driving Groups will be held to present their action plans and the process followed will be evaluated in a second shared event. A guide will be presented that compiles the processes developed so that the methodology can be replicated in other territories.
The second line of action is developed in parallel and consists of trying to promote more sustainable and capable neighbourhoods and villages because of a better organization and optimization of resources.
The project is carried out with the collaboration of 8 municipalities of the 8 islands, one for each of the populated islands of the Canary Islands. The selected municipalities applied with the support of the main social and neighbourhood organizations and entities, local technical and professional resources, and citizens, and were selected according to established criteria.
