Mission |
|
Cenca attempts to create
economic, urban-environmental and human skills conditions which enable defending
and participating in local and regional development within a perspective
of ameliorating quality of life for the population, prioritizing low income
sectors and promoting appropriate institutional management mechanisms. To
achieve this objective, Cenca is challenged to consolidate its capacity for
raising propositions and for intervening, at a professional level, creating
self-supportive institutional conditions.
Goals |

Cenca counts on legitimate
proposals for participative planning and comprehensive territorial management
in urban-environmental and productive aspects, such as suggestions for the
design of sustainable development strategies at a local and regional scale.
This involves:
· Counting on educational institutionalization of human skills for local
development.
· Developing a zonal model of participative management that may create
a sustainable physical-environmental ambience.
· Counting on a comprehensive and sustainable support system for validated
popular housing.
· Developing a validated local system for promoting economic
development.
