The intervention in Petén aims to foster sustainable development by converting the value of abundant natural resources into direct economic benefits for local families and communities, thus encouraging environmentally respectful behaviour. Utilizing the Territorial Approach for Local Development (TALD), the initiative seeks to align environmental and economic policies through enhanced local participation and ownership. Promoting green business development, sustainable farming, and forestry practices, the project focuses on zero deforestation and the adoption of green finance. It addresses the lack of public services such as water, sanitation, and solid waste management, particularly around Lago Petén-Itza, by investing in infrastructure improvements. Strengthening local governance, including the Development Council of Petén (CODEDE) and 14 municipalities, is crucial for mobilizing national revenues and meeting green policy commitments. Success hinges on continued political support from the EU and international community, alongside commitment and technical capacity from Guatemalan stakeholders at all governance levels to achieve sustainable socio-economic development without environmental degradation.CYE Consult, as Implementing Partner, has overall responsibility for the implementation of the contract.
