This study examines the socio-environmental, economic, and institutional issues related to this strategy, while also assessing its alignment with international standards and local expectations. It has revealed gaps in the consultation processes with stakeholders, as well as socio-environmental risks associated with certain practices. The study has also highlighted opportunities to encourage more inclusive and sustainable approaches.
