 Currently Non Refundable Funds program is in its final stage.
Fundecooperación para el Desarrollo Sostenible achieved a beneficial national impact on those most disadvantaged communities by supporting the Non Refundable Funds Program in 2007 and 2008.
In this way, the money from this program was directed to regions that contain the country's districts with lower income, with the largest number of protected areas and conservation areas that were identified as priorities in the Convention for the Conservation of Biodiversity and Protection of Priority Wild Areas in Central America (Article 18.1992).
Fundecooperación decided to focus its grant funds to communities located in three sensitive areas:
San Juan River Basin and canton de La Cruz (Guanacaste)
Sixaola River Basin and the canton of Golfito (Puntarenas South)
Chira Island (Gulf of Nicoya)
According to the available funds at the time, Fundecooperacion created an annual cap of $ 300 thousand for the placement of non-reimbursable funds in the basins and border cantons (Areas 1 and 2 above), which was distributed in an equitable manner between the segments represented in Fundecooperación : academic, government, NGOs and private sector.
Chira Island
In the case of the Island of Chira, Fundecooperación initiatives and efforts led to the development of the Coastal Zoning Plan of the Island of Chira, who was in charge of the Research Program in Sustainable Urban Development at the University of Costa Rica (ProDUS).
The Coastal Zoning Plan was used to sort the applications and their intensity in the sea and land. Chira Island regarding this master plan was important in the history of planning for the first time since the regulatory plan was an island of this size.
Moreover, within the framework of the development of the Coastal Zoning Plan of the Island of Chira, Fundecooperación was supporting a project called "Strengthening organizational gender perspective as a platform for rural tourism development community" whose overall objective is to promote organizational strengthening the gender perspective, about the Strategic Plan and Regulatory Plan Chira Island as a platform for the development of rural community tourism
