The sessions, which were organized by the Secretariat of Human Development, were held with the purpose of providing conceptual and methodological tools to municipal staff and members of the Local Human Development Board.
With the objective of strengthening capabilities in the design and execution of public policies, two training days on public management were developed, promoted by the Secretariat of Human Development of the Municipality of Concordia in conjunction with the Convivir Foundation, in which members of the Local Human Development Board commissions participated.
Both meetings were held in the Assembly Hall of the Municipality and featured training proposals focused on providing conceptual and methodological tools for the planning and execution of projects with a participatory approach and strong territorial anchoring.
In charge of delivering the training were Lic. María Valeria Fratto (Director of Institutional Relations of the Convivir Foundation), Lic. Cintia Caballero (Director of Human Capital of the Convivir Foundation), and Lic. Ricardo Zanfardini (Executive Trainer in Public Policies; with experience in Design Thinking and Human Behavior in Public Policies from the Di Tella University, and a Master's degree in Needs, Rights and Development Cooperation from the Autonomous University of Madrid).
Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide pointed out that “this is a great opportunity for us to learn new tools and strategies. The challenge of facing different scourges must challenge us and generate instances of knowledge and learning.”
He also highlighted that “it is important to exchange ideas and experiences with the goal of doing what we do better. This is very dynamic since we are working with people. With the formation of the Local Human Development Board, we have made contact with different institutions, and that is where the Convivir Foundation appears, providing us with tools and knowledge.”
For her part, the Director of Institutional Relations of the Convivir Foundation, María Valeria Fratto, stated that “we came to work together with the Secretariat of Human Development during these two days with the people who make up the participatory boards of the different commissions. We talked, reflected, and thought together about strategic planning designs with a focus on community treatment,” she indicated.
The intensive training modules were presented under the themes “Participatory design in local management” and “Territorial and community approach to social problems.”
