The most appropriate solution in our eyes would be that the departments develop their own programs. Right now, we are talking about the interdepartmental aspect. Normally, we should be asking what the criteria would be that are best adapted to the realities in our communities.

That is what should form the basis for all of the support programs for the various sectors of community development.
