Throughout 2024, the partner organizations participating in the Watersheds and Cities Project supported 9,260 individuals in adopting best sustainable practices. These actions contributed to improved land management across more than 188,800 hectares and the implementation of compensation schemes for hydrological environmental services over more than 3,400 hectares.
The field deployment of the projects created opportunities for community participation through capacity-building efforts and knowledge-exchange forums promoting watershed-based natural resource management. In 2024, partners organized 75 citizen participation forums, with notable involvement from Indigenous groups and communities.
Partner organizations also consolidated 37 strategic alliances with various levels of government, the private sector, and civil society, strengthening water and land governance.
In terms of communication and knowledge management, awareness campaigns targeting diverse audiences, including children and vulnerable groups, were launched. The project's Learning Community organized two gatherings and produced knowledge products such as case studies, manuals, infographics, and audiovisual materials.
In collaboration with project partners, technical documents were also published, including the Socio-Environmental Vulnerability Studies related to Climate Change for the cities of Mazatlán and La Paz, which will serve as key decision-making tools at the local level.
