Throughout the theoretical framework, key concepts such as integrated water resource management, current environmental regulations in Colombia, and sustainable development objectives related to access to clean water and sanitation are examined. It also explores the roles and responsibilities of territorial comptrollers in the oversight of investment in the protection of natural resources, providing a solid basis for understanding the importance of fiscal control in environmental protection. The results obtained during the investigation reveal important deficiencies in the infrastructure and management of drinking water and basic sanitation treatment plants. In addition, information gaps were identified in several municipalities, which makes it difficult to evaluate the real state of the aqueduct and sewerage systems. In addition, the analysis of water quality and discharge indicators in the prioritized municipalities shows that it is necessary to reinforce the wastewater treatment systems to mitigate their negative impact on the water bodies that discharge into the Río Bogotá. The internship at the Contraloría de Cundinamarca allowed applying knowledge acquired in the academic field to contribute to the preparation of the “Informe Anual del Estado de los Recursos Naturales y del Ambiente del Departamento de Cundinamarca” activity developed during the second semester of the year 2023 and which audited the management of the municipalities in the year 2022, applying the criteria of posteriority and selectivity that characterize fiscal control. This experience was essential to identify critical areas in the management of drinking water and basic sanitation in five municipalities in the middle basin of the Río Bogota and reflect the most urgent needs in terms of investment in infrastructure and design of stricter policies for wastewater treatment and improvement of the water supply service.Ítem Certificación ICA y formulación PROCEDA en el vivero forestal de Biochar S.A.S en el Municipio de La Calera, Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José De Caldas) Mojica Polania, Diana Alexandra; Ardilla Díaz, Dhamar; Cárdenas Monsalva, Ileana RomeaThis research project, “ICA Certification and PROCEDA Formulation at the Biochar S.A.S. Forest Nursery in the Municipality of La Calera, Cundinamarca,” aims to integrate the technical certification process of a forest nursery by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) with the development of a Citizen Environmental Education Project (PROCEDA). The initiative seeks to promote ecological restoration through the eradication of the invasive species Ulex europaeus (Scotch broom) and reforestation with native species in the high Andean ecosystems of La Calera. The main objective is to document compliance with ICA’s legal, administrative, and phytosanitary requirements for nursery certification while formulating an educational and participatory strategy that strengthens community involvement in environmental management. The methodology follows a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques across three main components: the ICA certification process, the PROCEDA formulation, and the design of pedagogical strategies for environmental education and community participation. The results are expected to ensure the technical validation and legal recognition of the Biochar S.A.S. nursery, support community-based reforestation with native species, and establish educational tools that foster environmental awareness and stewardship. The integration of ICA certification and PROCEDA creates a sustainable model for ecological restoration that aligns with Colombia’s national environmental policies, promoting biodiversity conservation, local empowerment, and responsible use of natural resources.Ítem Propuesta de sistema de gestión ambiental para: bodegas de almacenaje temporal de dispositivos médicos y reactivos in vitro, en la empresa Aldía Bodegas Certificadas S.A.S(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Beltrán Rojas, Ángela Mayerly; Melo Brito, Nadenka Beatriz; Melo Brito, Nadenka Beatriz [0000-0002-4255-8470]This work presents a proposal for an Environmental Management System for Aldía Bodegas Certificadas S.A.S., a company dedicated to the temporary storage of medical devices and in vitro reagents. The initiative arises from the need to strengthen regulatory compliance and optimize environmental performance within the organization’s operational processes. An initial diagnosis identified weaknesses in hazardous waste management, energy consumption, and emergency preparedness, highlighting the importance of developing strategies that promote sustainability and an environmental culture within the company. The main objective was to design and implement technical tools to enhance environmental management in alignment with ISO 14001:2015, ensuring operational sustainability, impact control, and compliance with applicable regulations. The methodology was applied and descriptive, involving document review, checklists, assessment of environmental aspects and impacts, the design of management plans, and training sessions for technical and operational staff. Findings revealed that the company maintains a robust documentation system consistent with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards; however, it requires reinforcement in waste management, resource efficiency, and environmental risk prevention. As a result, three key tools were developed: the Comprehensive Waste Management Plan, the Emergency and Contingency Plan, and the Efficient Energy Use Program, complemented by staff training sessions focused on safety, occupational health, and sustainability practices. It is concluded that this proposal provides a solid foundation for implementing an integrated Environmental Management System tailored to the company’s specific operations. The proposed model fosters continuous improvement, environmental compliance, and the consolidation of an organizational culture committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility.Ítem Propuesta de una estrategia para el desarrollo de instrumento financiero a proyectos de cambio climático(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Puerta Saavedra, Nayibe; Barreto Reyes , Diana Carolina; Barreto Reyes, Diana Carolina [0000-0002-3929-2632]Climate change represents an urgent global challenge, generating economic losses, food crises, and biodiversity loss (IPCC, 2023). Despite the importance of mitigation and adaptation projects, territorial entities face several barriers to accessing climate finance, including a lack of knowledge about appropriate financial instruments and limited technical information and capacities. This work proposes a strategy for the development of a concessional financial instrument aimed at facilitating access to resources for climate change projects at the territorial level. The proposal is applied to the case of the Bolívar Department Government and is aligned with the National Climate Finance Strategy. The objective is to strengthen local capacities for resource mobilization and support the development of sustainable climate initiatives.Ítem Implementación de estrategias de educación ambiental para la secretaría de Desarrollo Rural y Ambiental de Ubaque Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Cutiva Sotelo , Lina Marcela; Castiblanco Rativa, Ivan Felipe; Guzmán Medina, Beatriz Helena; Guzmán Medina, Beatriz Helena [0000-0001-8261-8004]This report presents the internship carried out in the municipality of Ubaque, Cundinamarca, Colombia. During this process, several environmental education workshops were conducted, focusing on proper waste management and separation. The activities took place at the Municipal School, with the municipality’s cleaning staff, in several restaurants, at the public market, and in local hair salons. These initiatives aimed to strengthen community environmental awareness and promote sustainable practices that contribute to environmental care and improved waste management within the municipality.Ítem Propuesta de estrategias de desarrollo organizacional en call centers: un enfoque desde la seguridad y salud en el trabajo(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Morales Benavides, Laura Daniela; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]The monograph "Proposal of Organizational Development Strategies in Call Centers: An Approach from Occupational Health and Safety" offers a thoughtful analysis of the strategic role that Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) can play in strengthening organizational development within the call center industry—a sector often marked by intense workloads, high staff turnover, and constant emotional demands. Rather than viewing OHS as merely a legal requirement, the study frames it as an opportunity to generate organizational value by promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable work environments. Based on a comprehensive review of theoretical and documentary sources, the research focuses on four key pillars: ergonomics, stress management, risk prevention training, and comprehensive well-being policies. Each of these elements is examined in terms of its impact on essential organizational variables such as employee satisfaction, organizational commitment, talent retention, and productivity. The study is grounded in a solid legal framework that includes national regulations such as Decree 1072 of 2015, Resolution 0312 of 2019, and Resolution 2646 of 2008, alongside international standards like ISO 45001:2018. This dual foundation ensures that the proposed strategies are both technically sound and legally applicable. Throughout the monograph, comparative analyses and actionable recommendations are presented to guide companies in the sector toward adopting strategies that place employee well-being at the center—not just to comply with legal obligations, but as a means to build more resilient and human-centered organizational cultures. The work concludes that a comprehensive approach to OHS not only contributes positively to employees' health and quality of life but also becomes a genuine driver of organizational transformation, enhancing long-term growth and competitiveness in an increasingly demanding business environment. Ultimately, the proposal encourages organizations to rethink OHS not as a checklist of requirements, but as a smart strategy that aligns well-being and development toward a shared vision.24Ítem Gestión ambiental en la industria hotelera: diagnóstico, brechas y estrategias para la implementación de la NTC ISO 14001:2015 en Colombia(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Morales Martinez, Natalia; Gonzalez Ramirez, Luisa Fernanda; Gonzalez Ramirez Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]The hotel industry in Colombia, although consolidated as an economic and social driver, generates significant environmental pressures due to its high consumption of water and energy, as well as the production of solid and liquid waste. In light of this situation, the Colombian Technical Standard ISO 14001:2015 serves as an international benchmark for the development of Environmental Management Systems (EMS), aimed at regulatory compliance, pollution prevention, and continuous improvement. In this context, the present monograph analyzed the level of alignment of a hotel located in the Coffee Region (Eje Cafetero) with the requirements of the standard, with the purpose of identifying strengths and gaps in its environmental management and proposing guidelines for its improvement. A qualitative and descriptive approach was adopted under a case study strategy, integrating document review, interviews, on-site observation, and the application of a checklist based on ISO 14001:2015.Overall, the study revealed institutional progress in environmental policy and managerial commitment, but also significant shortcomings in documentation, operational control, and performance indicators. In response, technical instruments and management plans were developed to optimize the administration of water, energy, waste, and emergency situations.The study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen monitoring and control mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of the EMS. As an academic contribution, this monograph offers a replicable methodological proposal for other hotel establishments, contributing to the strengthening of sustainable tourism in Colombia.Ítem Conflictividad socioambiental y ordenamiento territorial urbano: estudio de caso, cuenca urbana del río Fucha, Bogotá – 2025(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Cadena Pineda, Cristian Estiven; Martínez Abello , Jairo Miguel; Martínez Abello Jairo Miguel [0000-0003-1791-408X]The research examines the relationship between urban land-use planning and socio-environmental conflict in the Fucha River urban basin, located in Bogotá D.C. Using a qualitative and interpretive approach based on the methodology of the District Observatory of Environmental Conflicts (ODCA), the study analyzes how urban planning decisions, institutional dynamics, and social processes have directly influenced the emergence and intensification of socio-environmental conflicts within the basin. The findings reveal differentiated issues along the river, including water pollution, occupation of buffer zones, unregulated urban expansion, and real estate pressure. The study identified that peaks of conflict coincide with inconsistencies in land-use planning instruments and the implementation of major infrastructure projects. Furthermore, it highlights a lack of institutional coordination and emphasizes the key role of local communities in defending the territory. The research concludes that it is essential to link urban planning with environmental management and to strengthen citizen participation in order to achieve a fairer and more sustainable management of the basinÍtem Estrategias y herramientas para prácticas ambientales de producción y consumo sostenible-dirección de asuntos ambientales sectorial y urbana, MADS, 2025(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Uva Bayona, Jhon Alexander; Martinez Abello, Jairo Miguel; Martinez Abello, Jairo Miguel [0000-0003-1791-408X]The Responsible Production and Consumption and Agricultural Sector group of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development coordinates the formulation of the Sustainable Production and Consumption Policy with a Circular Economy Approach, -hereinafter PPyCREC- which aims to differentiate itself from the policy established in 2010 by including the Circular Economy factor and the participatory and active involvement of stakeholders and sectors of the Colombian economy. To this end, various activities were carried out to collect and validate information that strengthened the diagnosis and formulation of the policy, all under a detailed multi-criteria, statistical, and qualitative analysis that made it possible to define which sectors and subsectors were prioritized, with Popular Economies as one of the cross-cutting references, which in turn served the objective of giving the PPyCREC a distinctive character.Ítem Mecanismos financieros para la adaptación al cambio climático y su efectividad en la agricultura Colombiana(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Bernal Sanchez, Laura Camila; Pinilla Rivera, Maribel; Pinilla Rivera Maribel [0000-0001-6794-125X]This paper evaluates the effectiveness of sustainable financial mechanisms applied to the Colombian agricultural sector—specifically, Green Bonds, Sustainable Loans, and ESG Investment Funds—in their contribution to climate change adaptation. The research was conducted using a mixed-method approach, with an exploratory, descriptive, and correlational scope, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, a comprehensive document review was conducted to identify the main financial mechanisms and their relationship with the agricultural sector. From this, roadmaps were constructed describing the steps required to access each instrument and its applicability for small and medium-sized producers. Subsequently, a multicriteria analysis was conducted using the MCDA methodology, supported by Visual PROMETHEE software, which allowed for the evaluation of the financial efficiency and sustainability of the three mechanisms, based on criteria defined from the literature and expert judgment. The results showed that Green Bonds performed the best in terms of financial efficiency, while ESG Investment Funds led in sustainability. Sustainable Loans, for their part, are consolidating as a flexible alternative that can be adapted to both dimensions according to the producer or project context. The study identified several barriers that limit the effectiveness of these instruments, including low technical capacity in project formulation, institutional saturation in technical assistance, a lack of monitoring and evaluation systems, and a lack of fiscal incentives that encourage sustainable investment. In response to these challenges, the study proposes advancing technical capacity building, decentralizing assistance, creating green guarantee funds, and making financial schemes more flexible to adapt them to the country's production and climate specificities. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that there is no single financial mechanism that simultaneously maximizes efficiency and sustainability; therefore, its effectiveness depends on the strategic coordination between them. The study highlights the need to strengthen public policy and the fiscal framework to incentivize sustainable investment and promote a transition toward resilient agriculture adapted to climate change in Colombia.Ítem Cambio de uso del suelo en la finca Pobo: del cultivo de sagú a la porcicultura en Fosca, Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Pardo Morales , Angela María; Sevillano Carmona, Nicolle; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]This study evaluates the environmental and socioeconomic implications of land-use change in the Pobo farm (Fosca, Cundinamarca), comparing two productive alternatives: the continuity of sagú cultivation and the implementation of an intensive pig production system. Using a mixed and comparative methodological approach—including semi-structured interviews, direct observation, biodiversity assessment, and the application of the Leopold matrix—the research identified impacts on key variables such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, soil quality, profitability, and territorial sustainability. The findings provide guidelines for environmental management and sustainable land-use practices, supporting informed decision-making that balances economic productivity with natural resource conservation, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and the National Circular Economy Strategy.Ítem Comparación de las percepciones de sostenibilidad ambiental entre una comunidad cristiana y estudiantes de programas ambientales en Bogotá, D.C.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Ramírez Gutiérrez, Daniela; Díaz Rodríguez , Carlos; Díaz Rodríguez, Carlos [0000-0002-0936-8333]This research compares the perceptions of environmental sustainability between young people from a Christian community and students in environmental programs in Bogotá, through a survey applied to both study populations. Differences in their perspectives are evident: the Christian youth base their views on principles of ecotheology and biblical mandates that promote an ethic of responsibility towards nature, while the students adopt ecocentric and biocentric stances. The study highlights the need to strengthen the social and ethical components in environmental programs by integrating fundamental aspects of human dignity, including beliefs, values, and cultural context. Furthermore, it argues that environmental sustainability should go beyond traditional approaches and be linked to sustainable human development, considering human interaction as a determining factor in environmental challenges.Ítem Formulación de un Plan de Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos (PGIRS) para el Jardín Infantil Mamá Canguro ubicado en el barrio Los Cerezos localidad Engativá en la ciudad de Bogotá D.C(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Leal Rodríguez, María Camila; Gil Galicia, Luz Edith; Cárdenas Manosalva, Ileana Romea; Cárdenas Manosalva, Ileana Romea [0000-0001-7503-705X]This document presents the formulation of a Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (CSMMP) for the Mamá Canguro Kindergarten, located in Engativá, Bogotá. Its objective is to systematically and sustainably address the problem of waste management in the school environment, based on an initial assessment that identified sources of generation, disposal practices, and perceptions of the educational community. Based on this assessment, strategies for source separation, infrastructure strengthening, educational and awareness programs, and regulatory compliance are proposed. The plan has an educational and participatory approach, seeking to involve teachers, parents, and children as agents of change, promoting responsible habits, reduction, recycling, and reuse of materials. Using a methodology based on documentary research, observation, surveys, and interviews, the CSMMP proposes technical and administrative programs that promote environmental culture in the kindergarten and offer a replicable model for other similar institutions.Ítem Aportes administrativos para la gestión de la información del proceso de Inspección, Vigilancia y Control Sanitario - IVC en el grupo de Entornos Laborales Saludables Sostenibles.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Ruiz Riaño, Natalia; Díaz Rodríguez, Carlos; Díaz Rodríguez, Carlos [0000-0002-0936-8333]This document presents the work developed during the internship carried out as part of the graduation process to obtain the degree of Environmental Administrator. The internship took place at the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Colombia, specifically within the Subdirectorate of Environmental Health, in the Healthy Environments Group, where the Health Inspection, Surveillance, and Control (IVCS) process is managed at the national level. This process plays an essential role in health oversight, aimed at promoting, preventing, and protecting public and environmental health. The contributions made during the internship focused on the consolidation and standardization of information using data analysis tools such as Microsoft Excel, and its subsequent analysis through Power BI. All the material generated became part of the Ministry’s institutional database, which not only strengthens the information system but also allows for the establishment of communication spaces with key stakeholders in the IVCS process and the development of support, improvement, and continuity routes to strengthen this process.Ítem El arte como medio de resistencia de las comunidades para la gestión de conflictos socioambientales en Bogotá(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Lizarazo Rojas , Paula Andrea; Martínez Abello, Jairo Miguel; Martínez Abello, Jairo Miguel [0000-0003-1791-408X]The use of art as a means of resistance in environmental processes is a reality: communities come together to express their grievances against various projects, works, or activities that are at odds with shared interests and the protection of the environmental system as an exercise in governance. However, this premise leads to the stigmatization of communities due to the highly political and critical nature of their works. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the artistic expressions used by the various social groups in Bogotá and to demonstrate the validity and impact of the projects carried out in the exercise of socio-environmental protection. This research is designed to analyze various facets of the relationship between art and the environment, but also to disseminate the acquired results to communities as an exercise in democratizing knowledge. In the first instance, a literature review was conducted within the framework of the ODCA (District Observatory of Environmental Conflicts) project of the Environmental Conflicts, Life, and Peace research group, with the aim of compiling environmental conflicts in which artistic expressions are present and influence social practice. In the second phase, a series of interviews were conducted with leaders and artists to recognize the voices working behind the scenes of socio-environmental management processes and who have generated or are generating an impact in their community. Finally, the results were compiled into an audiovisual product that conveys the perspectives and actions undertaken by some agents of change. This thesis was made possible thru collective action, the exchange of knowledge, and the recognition of historical memory.Ítem Aportes profesionales desde el ámbito de la administración ambiental a la contraloría de Cundinamarca para la elaboración del informe macro fiscal “Informe Anual sobre el Estado Actual de los Recursos Naturales y del Ambiente del departamento de Cundinamarca, año 2024, vigencia 2023” capítulos, capitulo 1: Análisis de las inversiones realizadas por los sujetos de control en el componente ambiental y de servicios públicos vigencias 2022-2023, capitulo 2: Diagnóstico del servicio de acueducto vigencias 2022-2023, capitulo 3: Diagnóstico del servicio de alcantarillado vigencia 2023(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Lis Neira, Maria Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]The undergraduate thesis entitled “Professional Contributions from the Field of Environmental Management to the Comptroller’s Office of Cundinamarca for the Preparation of the Environmental Macro-Fiscal Report 2023” was developed within the framework of an internship at the Departmental Comptroller’s Office of Cundinamarca. The study examined fiscal and environmental management of oversight entities through three key areas: public investments in the environmental and public services component (2022–2023), diagnosis of the water supply service (2022–2023), and diagnosis of the sewerage service (2023). The findings highlight territorial inequalities in investment and coverage, deficiencies in drinking water quality, and limitations in basic sanitation, particularly in rural municipalities. While some progress was identified in planning and management, structural challenges remain in institutional coordination, budget allocation, and compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). This work provides a technical and academic contribution to the Annual Report on the State of Natural Resources and the Environment of Cundinamarca, Fiscal Year 2023, reinforcing the role of environmental management in territorial fiscal oversight.Ítem Caracterización ambiental del municipio de Fosca, Cundinamarca en el contexto de la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Pulido Manrique, Jineth Estefania; González Ramírez , Luisa Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]This internship was developed within the framework of the research project "Inclusion and recognition of diversity and cultural difference in science education, through educational innovations that foster dialogue between academic scientific knowledge (ASC) and local traditions (LT) in and for rural communities. Case studies: Fosca and Fómeque," funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MinCiencias). The focus of work focused on the characterization of the environmental component of the municipality of Fosca (Cundinamarca), based on theoretical and methodological tools that allowed the identification of vulnerability factors and problems associated with food security, as established in the general objective of the internship. In a global context where more than 735 million people suffer from hunger (FAO, 2023), and where climate change, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss compromise the sustainability of food systems (IPCC, 2022), the study of these factors in rural territories is urgent and relevant. Fosca is a municipality with an agricultural vocation located in the province of Oriente, Cundinamarca. It faces challenges associated with soil erosion, pressure on water sources, and climate variability, which affect agricultural production and, consequently, the food security of its inhabitants (Mayor's Office of Fosca, 2024; Government of Cundinamarca, 2023). This situation is aggravated by the progressive abandonment of the countryside and the transformation of consumption patterns (Rincón, 2020), which weakens peasant food autonomy and accentuates dependence on external markets. In order to provide tools for territorial analysis, a mixed methodological approach was used based on Bibliographic Information Mapping (BIM) (Ferreira & Souza, 2020), the application of the Leopold Matrix (Conesa, 2015), and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (IGAC, 2022). This methodological combination allowed for the development of a comprehensive view of the relationships between the environment, agricultural practices, and access to food, thus guiding the formulation of strategies for sustainable environmental management in rural contexts. During the process, the internship involved research, cartographic analysis, impact systematization, and the dissemination of progress in academic settings. This internship represents a concrete outcome of the institutional project, providing empirical evidence for the design of educational and technical proposals that articulate scientific knowledge with rural territorial realities.Ítem Aportes profesionales desde el ámbito de la administración ambiental a la Contraloría de Cundinamarca para la elaboración del Informe Anual del Estado de los Recursos Naturales y del Ambiente del Departamento de Cundinamarca (IERNA) año 2024, Vigencia 2023.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José De Caldas) Monroy Benítez, Nikol Daniela; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda; González Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda [0000-0001-8489-6761]This document presents the contribution made, as an intern, to the fiscal control and surveillance process led by the Comptroller's Office of Cundinamarca. The management was carried out through technical support in the preparation of the Annual Report on the State of Natural Resources and the Environment in the Department of Cundinamarca - 2023 (IERNA). To this end, according to the provisions of the Environmental Costs Subdirectorate, a specialized environmental department within the fiscal control entity, the examination carried out on the control subjects is related to the obligations derived for the Colombian State, following the ratification of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change through Law 164 of 1994, which establishes obligations for the parties involved regarding the formulation, implementation, publication, and updating of national and, where appropriate, regional programs that contain measures aimed at mitigating climate change. Likewise, with the obligations assumed after the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2018 in Colombia, which requires that national and territorial development plans be aligned with these objectives. In this context, the IERNA (Regulatory and Administrative Resources for the Protection of Water Quality) is framed within two themes presented in chapters 5 and 6, primarily related to the fulfillment of the goals proposed in environmental planning instruments: the Sanitation and Discharge Management Plan (PSMV), the Efficient Use and Saving of Water Program (PUEAA), the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (PGIRS), and the Municipal Disaster Risk Management Plan (PMGRD) and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 6, "Ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all." The fiscal review focused on the investments made by the audited entities, with their own resources, in the areas of basic sanitation and drinking water in 2022 and 2023.
