Abstract The concept and policy of sustainable development and the decentralization process, that both attracted serious attention for more than ten years now, after the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil (1992) and after the creation of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development in Bolivia (1994), contributed strongly to the development of a new planning tool in Bolivia. This newly introduced tool was —Ordenamiento Territorial“ (OT), a type of land use planning common in a number of Latin American countries (e.g. Colombia, Venezuela). This policy and planning tool was designed to address the spatial gap and the lack of integration left by previous traditional strategic planning and sectoral planning approaches prevalent at that time in Bolivia. The OT was introduced at three administrative levels (national, departmental and municipal) in order to establish territorial policies about land uses; to organize and coordinate the administrative units based on their biophysical, socio-economic and political-institutional characteristics; and to promote an integration or functional articulation of the national territory. Despite the theoretical advantages and benefits of OT processes and plans, the actual implementation in Bolivia still remains hesitant. At the national level there is no OT plan; at the departmental level 2 out of the 9 departments have an OT plan, but without formal approval; and at the municipal level only 51 out of the 316 have an OT municipal plan (OTMP) in elaboration or finished, but not approved. In order to find out the reasons behind the slow progress of the OT in Bolivia, especially at the municipal level, this study is focused to understand the general OT structure and to assess the OTMP as a plan and its process. The study is a first attempt to assess OTMP in Bolivia and develops a set of criteria for the evaluation of OTMP. Two municipalities with concluded but yet to be formally approved OT municipal plans are being used as case studies in this research: San Rafael, a municipality in the lowlands (Santa Cruz); and Punata, a municipality in the central high valley (Cochabamba). The study includes a review of documents and guidelines of OT in Bolivia, as well as related literature; interviews with key persons in the OT process; and interviews in seven municipalities at various stages of the OT process. The eventual set of criteria was developed and cross-checked by means of participatory tools including semi-structured, structured interviews and workshops in the two case studies municipalities. Criteria as relevance, feasibility, adequacy of method, coherence and format of plan were identified to assess the OTMP as a document and the ownership criterion to assess the OTMP as a process. According to the evaluation criteria the OTMP as a document as much as a process shows a relatively good performance among the key people involved in OT in the two municipalities. However both OTMP presented some relevant/critical issues (e.g. lack of time horizon, lack of an indication of possible areas for urban expansion) that could decrease the performance in the implementation stage. Besides, it should be noted that among the local stakeholders, knowledge and awareness of the OTMP was limited. Finally four main constraint factors were identified as possible reasons behind the hesitant process of OT at the municipal level: a) Incomplete legal and normative framework for OT; b) W eak awareness of its possible relevance due to a poor dissemination of information on OT benefits; c) Lack of financial support by the municipality to elaborate the OTMP as well as for its the implementation, and; d) Lack of continuity of line actions in stakeholders representatives. All in all there remain a lot of tasks or issues to be resolved in OT at the municipal level as a planning process (e.g. Strengthen and raise awareness among society about the OT; to review and improve the OT methodological guide, to ensure funds and capital to support the OT process) and as a recommendation for possible further study focus as well (e.g. assessment of the social feasibility of planning and implementation, to develop a collaborative spatial decision support system to improve the consensus in the OTMP elaboration). Finally, it is suggested to build up experience in the further development of a more structured evaluation process of OTMP to improve its effectiveness and efficiency. %eywords: Ordenamiento Territorial, Land use plans, spatial planning, evaluation criteria, municipality, Bolivia.

Migration to cities and abroad is increasingly leaving behind half families and the elderly. Livelihoods as well as the management of land are affected by a change of labour force, traditional knowledge, remittances and other consequences of migration. In this study we explored how the land and its management is affected by those issues and what are the measures and strategies taken by the population left behind in two sub watersheds of Nepal and Bolivia. The WOCAT mapping methodology was used to assess land management practices and, in combination with a variety of other research methods, it helped to understand the impacts of migration on land degradation and conservation. Preliminary findings reveal negative as well as positive impacts. In Nepal, the main degradation problem found were invasive alien plant species, whereas the overall vegetation and forest had increased and some types of degradation, such as soil erosion or landslides, were even reduced.

  • La Experiencia Boliviana De La Política Pública De Cuencas
    Sincronías LA EXPERIENCIA BOLIVIANA DE LA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE CUENCAS Sincronías, es un texto que describe el proceso de gestación de la politica de cuencas boliviana a partir de acontecimientos sociales históricos, y a su vez, procesos institucionales de incunvencia pública, acompa- ñados por el accionar de organismos y hechos internacionales coinci- dentes en el tiempo y centrados en la demanda de la gestión del agua. La coexistencia de estos elementos en un periodo identificado más reciente, sin dejar de lado prece- dentes, inspiran a la Agencia Belga de Desarrollo (CTB/Enabel) y a los autores a escribir cuatro interesantes secciones sobre temas entrelazados con el Plan Nacional de Cuencas, que permiten conocer más de cerca los avatares de su concepción y sus proyecciones. La CTB/Enabel, se identifica con éste proceso que marca tendencia nacional y se afinca en el propósito de compartirlo, relevando la impor- tancia de continuar avanzando en el cuidado hídrico-ambiental, bajo el enfoque de la gestión integral de los recursos hidricos y el manejo integral de las cuencas. Sincronías LA EXPERIENCIA BOLIVIANA DE LA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE CUENCAS La Agencia Belga de Desarrollo (CTB/Enabel), agradece la participación y el compromiso de sus socios en Bolivia, donantes y exdonantes de la Mesa, y a las poblaciones benefi- ciarias en los departamentos de Chuquisaca, Cochabamba y Santa Cruz. Expresa su mayor reconocimiento al Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Agua, al equipo del Plan Nacional de Cuencas por su apoyo a la construcción de este proceso así como a las autoridades departamentales y municipales. De manera particular a Francesca Majorano Sarapo, Javier Zubieta Herrera y Jimmy Navarro, por su gentil revisión de la presente sistematización.

En este sentido, el presente trabajó fue enfocado en el desarrollo de una propuesta para fortalecer la gestión de recursos hídricos con enfoque integral y sustentable en la Comunidad Sankayani Bajo del Munipio de Tiraque. Mediante un diagnóstico con enfoque territorial y analizado como sistemas de vida, se logró identificar los problemas en tres dimensiones: funciones ambientales y conservación, producción sustentable y economía, desarrollo humano y pobreza. Así también se identificó las potencialidades y desafíos para las tres dimensiones. La dimensión funciones ambientales y conservación se valoró en 3.1 sobre 5, puesto que existe extinción de la fauna y flora, deterioro de suelos agrícolas y deslizamientos y otros problemas ambientales. La producción sustentable y economía entre tanto, se valoró en 1.73 sobre 5, lo que significa que la producción tiene bajos rendimientos y la economía es débil, depende solo de la agropecuaria.

  • David Versus Goliath in Cochabamba Water Rights, Neoliberalism, and the Revival of Social Protest in Bolivia by Willem Assies
    ARTICLE LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES 10.1177/0094582X03252286Assies / DAVID VERSUS GOLIATH IN COCHABAMBA David versus Goliath in Cochabamba Water Rights, Neoliberalism, and the Revival of Social Protest in Bolivia by Willem Assies “Ours is a small country and it hardly owns anything any more. Our mines were privatized, the electrification company was privatized, and the airlines, the telecommunications, the railways, our oil and gas. The things we still own are the water and the air, and we have struggled to make sure that the water continues to be ours,” said Oscar Olivera, a trade-union leader from Cochabamba, Bolivia, addressing one of the assemblies protesting the annual spring meeting of the IMF/World Bank in Washington, DC, in April 2000. Olivera had been freshly flown in from the city that had been the scene of vio- lent protests that forced the transnational consortium Aguas del Tunari out of Cochabamba Department and called upon the Bolivian government to mod- ify Law 2029 on Potable Water and Sanitary Drainage, proclaimed only five months earlier. The assembly that protested the power of transnational capi- talism and neoliberal policies cheered him as a hero. “David has defeated Goliath,” claimed Olivera, and “thus set an example for the rest of the world.” From the early days of April Bolivia had been the scene of a wave of pro- tests such as it had not seen for several decades, prompting the Banzer gov- ernment, elected in 1997, to declare a state of siege. The day the state of siege was declared, 880 police mutinied to press wage demands and students pro- tested in La Paz, and later coca growers from the yunga region set up road- blocks to protest forced eradication.

  • Technical Assistance and Training for PROCOSI Operations Research Program, Bolivia
    Final Report Technical Assistance and Training for PROCOSI Operations Research Program, Bolivia Fernando Gonzáles S. Ricardo Vernon January 2005 This study was funded by the U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID) under the terms of Cooperative Agreement Number HRN-A-00-98-00012-00 and Population Council In-house project number 8000 13036. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID. SUMMARY In September 1999, PROCOSI, a network of 24 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide health services, invited the Population Council Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program to provide technical assistance for designing and conducting operations research aimed at increasing the quality and impact of their reproductive health programs. In October 1999, FRONTIERS and PROCOSI held a workshop for designing operations research. Sixteen project proposals were developed at the workshop, and twelve of them were approved for funding during the following months. Also, between March and September 2000, four new projects were developed and approved, making a total of 16 operations research projects. They were originally planned to cover a twelve-month period. However, in practice they spanned a twenty-month period. In the first year of activities, technical assistance for developing and implementing operations research was provided by two FRONTIERS advisors and three national consultants. By the end of the year, consultants were contracted only for specific activities. Each organization required an average of 23 days of technical assistance, not counting the days used for teaching in workshops. In collaboration with PROCOSI, FRONTIERS conducted four training workshops on design of operations research projects, qualitative research methods, utilization and dissemination of research results, and preparing research reports.

  • Evaluación De La Calidad De Las Aguas Del Río Rocha En La Jurisdicción De SEMAPA En La Provincia Cercado De Cochabamba- Bolivia
    Evaluación de la calidad de las aguas del río Rocha en la jurisdicción de SEMAPA en la provincia Cercado de Cochabamba- Bolivia René Toledo Medrano, David Amurrio Derpic Departamento de Ciencias Exactas e Ingeniería, Universidad Católica Boliviana Av. General Galindo s/n, Cochabamba, Bolivia Resumen Este estudio tuvo como fin determinar la calidad físico-química de la sección del río Rocha que atraviesa la ciudad de Cochabamba-Bolivia. Dicha calidad fue establecida determinando puntos de muestreo a lo largo del río, seguida de su correspondiente toma de muestras y posterior análisis de laboratorio. Tomando en cuenta los resultados obtenidos en el laboratorio de la Planta de Tratamiento de Alba Rancho de SEMAPA se procedió al análisis comparativo para determinar los parámetros que exceden los límites máximos permisibles establecidos por la ley 1333 de Medio Ambiente y sus posibles causas. Así mismo, se determinó de manera cualitativa el estado del río Rocha utilizando índices físico-químicos de calidad de aguas, tales como el índice de Prati y el Reglamento de Contaminación Hídrica. Los índices muestran un alto grado de contaminación y degradación del medio debido a la influencia que tienen las descargas de la red de alcantarillado sobre la calidad de las aguas del río Rocha. Palabras clave: Río Rocha, contaminación hídrica, reglamento de contaminación hídrica, análisis físico-químicos, índice de Prati, calidad físico-química, Cochabamba, Bolivia 1 Introducción El desarrollo de las civilizaciones está estrechamente relacionado con el agua. A medida que el hombre se volvió sedentario, buscó establecerse cerca de cuerpos de agua para satisfacer la necesidad de contar con este elemento para su consumo, el de su ganado y riego de sus cultivos.
