Under the Project on Human Security and Regional Development in Latin America, UNCRD-LAC will implement a workshop to introduce the human security and regional development approach in the formulation of territorial municipal plans from a sustainable tourism perspective in the department of Sololá, one of the areas most affected by conflict and violence in Guatemala. Issues to be highlighted are those related to territorial security, human security, environment, and tourism. The workshop, of a participatory nature, will have the participation of public officials of the local, regional, and national levels, community representatives, and representatives of international organizations working in the area. The methodology will promote consensus building on the main issues to be addressed, and the establishment of a work plan to initiate the formulation of a regional territorial organization plan for the municipalities of the Department of Sololá.
