  • The Municipality of Asunción has launched a new digital platform, "Protectores de Espacios Verdes," to manage the sponsorship of public green spaces.
  • This initiative replaces a previous slow, paper-based system with a fully digital process that can be completed in a maximum of 10 business days.
  • The program aims to foster shared management between the local government and citizens, covering 210 georeferenced parks and plazas in the capital.

Asunción is taking a significant leap forward in urban management with the launch of its "Protectores de Espacios Verdes" program. This innovative initiative, spearheaded by Mayor Luis Bello, replaces the cumbersome and time-consuming traditional sponsorship system with a streamlined, 100% digital platform. The move reflects a commitment to efficiency and citizen engagement, aiming to revitalize the city's 210 parks and plazas through a collaborative effort between the municipality and its residents.

The previous system, which could take months to navigate, has been replaced by a process that can be completed in just 10 business days. This dramatic reduction in bureaucratic hurdles, as highlighted by Mayor Bello, makes it easier than ever for citizens, community groups, and businesses to contribute to the upkeep and improvement of public spaces. By simply scanning a QR code or accessing the digital platform, anyone can become a "protector" of Asunción's green areas.

This program is more than just an administrative upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance the quality of life for Asunción's residents. Improved parks and plazas contribute directly to neighborhood safety, community well-being, and the overall aesthetic appeal of the city. The success of the pilot in Distrito Perseverancia, as represented by Pedro Zucolillo, serves as a model for this city-wide expansion, demonstrating the power of shared governance and citizen participation in creating a more vibrant and sustainable Asunción. ABC Color is proud to report on such forward-thinking initiatives that directly benefit the citizens of our capital.
