Relevant data for the definition of a media strategy appropriate to the reality of the region.
Results of the Communication component, a multidisciplinary study that united various disciplines at the University of Panama and that linked the different SDGs with a complex perspective and allowed the incorporation of socio-environmental and socio-cultural indicators, achieving precise feedback for the benefit of the communities studied.
The research was based on a quasi-experimental design, divided into five phases: recognition and direct approach, research stage, implementation, follow-up and monitoring of educational and
advertising communication strategies, results, impact and limitation of the project and closure of the project.
