In mid-November, the Institute for Alternative Futures released the results of the contest Scenarios for Inclusion (Pro-Poor Scenario Award). This international competition seeks to find ways of applying foresight which has a direct impact on poor and marginalized populations. A research team from the Foro Nacional Internacional was awarded the first prize in the contest organized by the institution.
This award was decided by an international jury of experts that evaluated prospective venues around the world (including countries in Asia and Africa), as part of an effort to find ways of applying foresight to have a direct impact on the poor and excluded.
In April 2011 a Foro Nacional Internacional team made up of Mayor Gonzalo, Ruth Bustamante Romeld Llacsahuanga and developed a joint workshop with a group of men and women of the Shipibo-Conibo community living in Cantagallo (located between the districts of the Rimac Fence and Lima) since 2000. In this workshop was a prospective in which it was implemented, completed and implemented, with some important settings, participatory foresight methodology (Pro-Poor Scenario Toolkit) at the Institute for Alternative Futures. At the end of the day, the community was able to write three scenarios (a "probable", another "visionary" that reflects the most optimistic scenario but doable, and a third "challenging") for the year 2039, also was able to identify and discuss the priority development issues for the community and expected trends. This exercise and its results were presented to the contest above.
This work is part of the efforts made in the framework of Agenda: PERU, which queries both experts and citizens to build a development strategy for Peru in the 21st century. Within this framework, the team sought to help a community affected by the exclusion to identify emerging challenges and opportunities that can be addressed to improve their lives and their future as an organized community.
Another important objective of this exercise (which was especially appreciated by community representatives) was to help better communicate the needs and aspirations of a group excluded from decision makers and relevant public authorities.
