Local Government in your Neighborhood
Under the "Local Government in your Neighborhood" Program, the Municipality of Asunción organizes meeting days in different neighborhoods, bringing together representatives of diverse municipality branches, councilors and the local administration with neighbors and neighborhood organizations. The goal is to discuss issues that should be prioritized by the municipal management and to develop possible solutions. At the end of each meeting, the deliberation protocols and resolutions taken are documented and then forwarded to the Communal Chief to distribute to the municipal units according to their corresponding subjects.
