“No one is going to come to save us, this depends on us, on what each one does according to the role they have in society. It is not a good idea to disengage from what happens in our city,” remarked the Mayor of Concordia.
On Friday afternoon, Mayor Francisco Azcué launched the Local Human Development Board, a collaborative workspace that seeks to comprehensively address some of the most urgent challenges facing the city: child abuse, problematic substance use, and violence in its various manifestations, among others.
These problems not only affect the families and youth of Concordia but also impact the social fabric as a whole, demanding articulated and sustained responses over time.
The July Pact, signed by numerous community representatives, establishes a clear commitment toward rebuilding social trust and promoting peaceful coexistence. The 10 priority objectives proposed in the Pact, such as the recovery of security, the commitment to education, and the construction of a culture of inclusion, are fundamental to addressing current challenges.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the Local Human Development Board is to generate a space for dialogue, coordination, and joint action among the involved institutions, aimed at addressing social issues, improving the quality of life, and promoting human development in the city.
The objectives are: to design comprehensive strategies for the resolution of local social issues; to optimize resources and services through inter-institutional cooperation; to promote public policies based on territorial needs; to promote the active participation of institutions.
COMMITMENT, TIME, AND EFFORT
Addressing those present, Mayor Azcué recalled that the Local Human Development Board “is framed within the commitment we assumed with the signing of the July Pact, where we established working on some points that we understand are essential for the development of our city,” for which he thanked the response to the call, as “this speaks to the commitment and love we have for Concordia. It is worth dedicating our time and effort.”
“No one is going to come to save us, this depends on us, on what each one does according to the role they have in society, from an institution or as a resident. It is not a good idea to disengage from what happens in society, from what happens in our city.”
COMMISSIONS
After explaining that from now on the Board will function through the formation of various commissions that will address specific issues, Azcué highlighted that each situation “will have a name and surname. We will be able to debate, contribute ideas, and plan. I am sure that we will achieve efficiency in resource management through joint actions, in an articulated manner.”
Finally, and after instructing the Municipality officials that each case or issue that arises will have priority status, Azcué remarked that “we are building a very solid foundation for the reconstruction of our city and our society. I am sure that God will accompany us and that we will get the best out of all this.”
GET INVOLVED
For his part, the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide stated first that “I hope that today is a turning point in the commitment toward the social problems of Concordia. It is a great opportunity for our society because neither the Municipality nor the Province nor the Nation can do it alone, and as residents, we cannot fail to get involved.”
“These spaces must be defended and must transcend the administration; they must be the seed that transforms Concordia definitively,” adding Arístide that in this assembly process, the “Relevar” Project provided fundamental information to “understand where the true problems that the city has lie, and with that data, we understood that we had to propose comprehensive solutions.”
Present were Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; National Deputy Nancy Ballejos; Provincial Deputies Carola Laner and Marcelo López; municipal, provincial, and national officials; council members; authorities of the Judiciary; representatives of intermediate institutions; Security Forces, Non-Governmental Organizations, and the community in general.
