Forum on Public Infrastructure Perspectives
The Forum on Public Infrastructure Perspectives, developed by the Costa Rican Legislative Assembly, was an activity organized to conduct an analysis on the general state of national infrastructure. The initiative brought together key players and decision-makers regarding Costa Rica's public infrastructure, among them representatives of the public administration and the Legislative Assembly, from academia, private stakeholders and professionals, and civil society. Participants were able to determine, according to their expert criteria and through group discussions, what they considered to be the most important aspects to attend to and to work on in these matters. The participants concluded by urging the authorities to develop public policies in this area, based on the discussions conducted at the Forum.
