Model for the management of local development financing at the municipal level in Cuba

Abstract

Studies on the management of local development financing show that there is no model that integrates the different conceptual areas and territorial planning tools involved, from a sustainable approach and with the protagonist coordination of local governments and public administrations. This topic is of special interest for Cuba, which in the updating of its economic and social development model encourages local structures to self-manage their development. The objective of this research is to design a model for the management of local development financing at the municipal level, which contributes to the use of endogenous and exogenous resources. The fundamental stages of the management process are presented, the components of the model, the fundamental relationships and the procedure for its implementation are explained. To this end, participatory workshops were held and the analysis and synthesis method was used. The proposed model orients actions towards the articulation of the actors involved in the process, in order to respond to the demands of local development, making efficient use of endogenous and exogenous resources.
