Upon reviewing what was done, it was recognized that Baracoa, among the municipalities, and the coffee beneficiary Alto Serra, in the business sector, exhibit best practices in the implementation of the Guantánamo Development Strategy.
The necessary comprehensiveness of the investigations that are worked in the territory was also valued, in order to give exit to the four driving projects for the development of the Cuban High East, such as: the current and prospective hydraulic program, the productive chains of coconut, coffee, cocoa and beans, Nature tourism and capacity building to increase exportable items and import substitution.
Regardless of the temporary paralysis caused by the confrontation with COVID-19, the Government-University integration allowed the work of the local development group to be routed, and its reactivation in all municipalities to have a better understanding and identification of the local potentialities for export.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of the provincial government, was the time to insist on the interrelationship between the universities and the organizations, for the concretion of development strategies until 2030.
In assessing the importance of the meeting, Doctor Rodríguez Oruña highlighted "the sustained links between the Government and the university and highlighted the need to see the training of professional capacities as an investment that promotes the integral and sustainable development of the province."
