REGIONAL WORK
The work we do as a region is carried out through interprovincial teams that analyze, verify, and create proposals on key issues, and thus design a unified management scheme for all the provinces of the region. Each team has a coordinator who works as a liaison with the regional assemblies.
We present each of the initiatives:
