A key component of increasing institutional presence in Comuna 8 is ensuring community agency and protagonism. Wherever possible, institutions should be staffed and managed by community members. Coordination and partnership with municipal agencies will provide technical support and capacity to Comuna 8 staff, who will then play an important role in disseminating that knowledge and capacity to other community members. In turn, community members can provide improved field monitoring and feedback to local coordinators who they trust, resulting in more efficient and effective local management.
