The Pact includes the needs that the communities consider most urgent, such as improvement of health service, greater educational access, construction of classrooms and access roads, as well as a shared vision of the territory.

The mayor, José Antonio Castro, said that from now on the mission is to strengthen citizen oversight and social control.
