We currently have three Sustainable Community Development Programme in the three zones of influence of Grupedsac:

EIn these communities, we conduct training in the installation of productive infrastructure (with the use of appropriate technologies) and training in the management of this infrastructure and as the guiding principle of all programs are offered workshops in human development and gender equity and workshops to help them develop their organizational skills and self-management in order to support the implementation of projects and go beyond "helping the poor." .
The objective of the Programme is to support communities to enable them to achieve self-determination and self-conceived as taking control in the following areas:
Territorial
Boundary of their territory, differentiation from other, recognition of their territory by the state and neighboring communities or owners.
Resources
The appropriate use or non-destructive of natural resources (flora, fauna, soils, water resources, etc.) As part of its territory. This is achieved through the design and implementation of a plan for natural resource management, able to standardize and regulate agricultural, livestock, forestry and / or perform community fishing.
Cultural
Implies that the community make decisions that safeguard their own cultural values, including language, dress, customs, knowledge, beliefs, habits, etc. This community should create mechanisms to ensure cultural recovery and awareness by the people of the existence of their own culture (ethnic pride).
Social
Includes items such as food, health, education, housing, health, leisure and information for the purpose of improving the quality of life for community members.
Economic
The regulation of economic exchanges that the community and its members with the rest of society and the local, regional, national and international, making up this control. This involves the community to face up to external economic events that affect the productive life of it, such as pricing policy (for the market or the State), macroeconomic policies, subsidies, taxes, loans, etc. . That means mitigate the mechanisms that affect, inhibit or even punish the productive sphere of the community.
Political
This is a community's ability to create their own organization (partner / production) and to enact or ratify the norms, rules and principles governing the political life of the community or "communitarian" organization. This dimension must ensure the participation of members, communitarian democracy, political autonomy and enforcement of customary law.
