In the framework of the International Symposium, Cepei and the Universidad Nueva Granada, joined efforts to organize the workshop “Creating synergies to implement the Sustainable Development Goals in the Sabana-Centro region”.
The workshop, which was attended by 12 organizations of Sabana – Centro, was led by the Governance Coordinator of Cepei.
During the workshop, Javier focused his intervention on the Integrated Approach of sustainable development, which requires both variables and actors to be integrated. “If the work on the implementation of specific objectives, looses the perspective of their integrality, synergies, effectiveness and efficiency in the use of resources are lost too,” he said.
