Methodology of territorial ordering in RACCN, a contribution to the development with identity

Abstract

In order to propose a methodology that responds to the new reality of territorial distribution of the Autonomous Region of the North Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, the "Methodologies of territorial organization in RACCN, a contribution to the development with identity" is presented. This investigation had the Twi Waupasa Miskitu indigenous territory and the Mayangna Sauni Bas territory as a case study. The methodological research was from the paradigm of critical science, which seeks to understand reality, for further transformation. The field information of the target groups was dynamized, as well as the processes that have been developed in the territorial ordinances plans at national, regional and territorial spheres. The research was based on direct interviews, focus group, review of primary research, as well as the review of secondary bibliographies that support the theories proposed in the study. The studies of national Territorial Planning and Development have a departmental and municipal approach, and its methodology is comprised of five Stages based on the INETER, and seven methodological moments based on the New FISE-GIZ, which defined a specific methodology for the RACCN. The methodological proposal has 5 strategic moments (Prior, Free and Informed Consent Letter, participatory diagnosis, prospective and future model, presentation, agreement and approval and instrumentation and implementation) with its 41 actions. This proposal will contribute significantly to the indigenous territories and communities from RACCN, in the management, articulation, development, advocacy, governance, and thus respond to the paradigm of good living and live well of the indigenous peoples of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast.
