The study synthesizes approaches and conditions for development in the study area. The methodology consisted in the triangulation of information from secondary sources, semi-structured interviews and direct observation. The study concludes that the heterogeneity of municipalities and government policies that promote synergies in the direction of endogenous and inclusive development can reverse current conditions.
