Presentation
Commissioned by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the project aims, on the one hand, to contribute to the methodological design of the process of updating the National Infrastructure Plan for Competitiveness (PNIC) -which should be approved for the period 2022-2025- including environmental, social, transparency and territorial planning considerations; and, on the other hand, to design an information system for monitoring social infrastructure investment projects in the Amazon in the post-Covid-19 scenario. The first component of the study will be carried out jointly with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS Peru) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC Peru), and coordination mechanisms will be established with the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Environment, and the Vice Ministry of Territorial Governance of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Project activities include the design of specialization courses in the design and monitoring of infrastructure projects in tropical forest ecosystems, as well as the promotion and consolidation of multi-stakeholder platforms for territorial planning.
The study officially began on July 1, 2020 and has a duration of eighteen months until December 31, 2021.
