Contesto | The complex Cuban context of economic crisis framed by the COVID pandemic brought physical and virtual protests from the population asking for new opportunities to dialogue their demands in a more effective way is with the government. Hence the raison d'être of this platform, is about promoting processes of participation and empowerment of vulnerable groups to diversify voices in the projection of transformative actions in local contexts. Population groups marginalized due to aspects of race, gender, sexual choice, among others, may take advantage of the changes they propose for an improvement in the institutional design and public policies of the country. |
Obiettivi | Contribute through participatory approach to the reduction of social equity gaps in 12 Cuban municipalities - articulating the variables of race, gender and sexual orientation - through work with local governments, communities and other civil society actors. |
Gruppi target | The PYE exit phase (2021-2024) will allow the incorporation of the gender, participation and equity approach in the planning, management and evaluation of local and community development by governmental actors, other state institutions and civil society actors such as NGOs, local and national networks, and social activists in order to promote equity in the territories where they had intervened during the entire process of forming the Platform and in public policies derived from its work. |
