              have started a search for potential instruments to analyse and understand                  cultural assessment alternatives and the management of cultural and natural                  heritage in sustainable development programmes in Latin America and the                  Caribbean. 
                                 The vision guiding this study is that an appropriate management of such                  resources would represent a coordinated action between different social                  actors in the generation of cultural, social and economic capital across the
              region.   
              Local governments together with central government institutions and                  representatives of the private sector have started to generate initiatives                  along this line.  Some of these initiatives represent important examples at                  the regional level.  Thus, experiences are being systematised and new                  opportunities are being explored.
