Contrasting the information of the Provincial entity with interviews with authorities of Parochial Governments, it is sought to determine problems or critical knots of the model and based on it, to establish strategies for its strengthening, especially regarding the management of resources, the implementation of intergovernmental coordination mechanisms and information management.
