Local governments in Costa Rica are facing challenges that they will now be able to address thanks to the tools obtained in the Munis Disruptivas program: a call for proposals that invited municipalities to devise and propose innovative projects to strengthen capacities for climate change resilience, improve public spaces by integrating biodiversity, and enhance competitiveness through advisory services and methodologies such as design thinking.
The objective of Munis Disruptivas is to promote the fulfillment of climate goals, boost urban development and enhance competitiveness.
Munis Disruptivas is a product of the strategic alliance between the Hub for Innovation, Climate and Biodiversity of the ACCIÓN Clima IKI project of the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) in Costa Rica, the National Cluster Program of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Commerce (MEIC) and the Institute for Municipal Development and Advisory Services (IFAM).
