go to original August 7, 2022

The Secretariat of Planning and Citizen Participation has inaugurated the Citizen Participation Forums to strengthen the strategic lines of the State Program for a Culture of Peace (PECP). The Forums will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon from June 28 to 30 at the facilities of the same agency; also, within this event there will be three working tables with different sectors of the population of Jalisco: organized civil society, academia and government agencies and citizenship.

The forums are spaces for dialogue with different sectors of society where an agreement on the concept of peace will be generated; the main limitations to guarantee its establishment will be listed and the strategic lines of action will be analyzed. Citizen participation is fundamental in governmental actions, as it is the only way to build a common good.

In the inaugural act, the Local Deputy, Rocio Aguilar Tejada, pointed out: "The State Program for a Culture of Peace in Jalisco has the purpose of establishing the guidelines to be followed for the elaboration and implementation of actions in terms of culture of peace, as well as the necessary instruments and indicators for the follow-up and evaluation of the same." In addition, the Secretary of Planning and Citizen Participation, Margarita Sierra Diaz de Raviera, pointed out that, "Peace is not given by decree; it has to be worked, shared, lived and named."

Through these spaces for dialogue and collaboration, the Secretariat of Planning and Citizen Participation fosters governance and a culture of peace. All citizens are invited to collaborate in this process of revising the PECP to build a coordination instrument adequate to the needs of the state.
