GUATEMALA: Bold plan to drive development
President Otto Pérez Molina presented an ambitious long-term 20-year sustainable development plan this week. Dubbed ‘K’atun 2032’—one ‘k’atun’ represents 20 years of the Mayan calendar—the plan aims to accelerate economic growth; reduce poverty and malnutrition; guarantee food security; and promote conservation, with a special emphasis on enhancing the prospects of Guatemala’s large marginalised indigenous population.
