An Administrative resolution was made by the local conservation authorities to determine the technical, social, legal and financial feasibility of implementing protected areas in the sites of conservation importance. The resolution considers information from scientific studies and highlights the importance of establishing a participatory process through the creation of a multi-sector dialogue panel. At the same time, the local authority created a follow-up Committee with institutional representatives of the national protected area management authority to legitimize the process and ensure that it is documented and institutionalized.
- The existence of a legal framework that provides guidelines
- Support of the governing public body responsible for ensuring the conservation of biodiversity
- Technical and financial support
- Commitment at high political levels
A legally-binding resolution provides legitimacy and institutionalizes the process, promotes empowerment, builds up confidence and credibility of local authorities and local communities.
