This paper proposes a number of programs and projects that would be complementary to already existing programs and which would emphasize sustainable economic development. It is meant to serve as a base for the contribution to the Plan Nacional De Desarrollo (National Development Plan) in the areas of natural resource management and the environment. Finally, the report seeks to provide the following: 1) a framework for structuring environmental programs and strategies; 2) a highlight of some basic principles that are common to successful programs; 3) different options available to deal with elements composing a program for sustainable development; and 4) elements to be considered in the design of a program for sustainable economic development.  Réduire
