SIRAA Model

What is it and how does it apply?

The methodology we use is called SIRAA and was developed by the Tláloc Foundation over several years to build sustainable citizenship and to generate projects with a positive impact on their community.

This method was strengthened from the experience gained by working with an indigenous community in a joint project. Its basic principle is capacity building and the empowerment of local actors, who are part of a group within public, private, social organizations or a particular community.
