Vision & MissionA place where human and nature can meet while respecting

each other and their needs in a dynamic equilibrium

Creating a river basin by 2030 with a good water quality, sustainable industries, rising awareness, good management,

and high quality of living.Because by improving nature, living standards will be

Scenario

Measures

Sustainable Development• By promoting sustainable ecoturism, sustainable agricolture, use of renewable energies and

ecological waste management

Awareness• As part of the campaign the children will be made aware of the natural values the Guadalete

River by having them follow a special program in their schools.

Good Management• Risk&Emergency Management Plan• Spatial Development Plan• Cooperation Stakeholders, Region and Countries• Anti-Corruption Plan

Good Water Quality• Improve WWTP’s already existing and building new WWTP’s• Improve water infrastructures before WWTP as the sewage system of Jerez• Natural water treatment• Increase natural river biodiversity• Monitoring & Control maintenance, promote data, gathering and research • Control source of pollution

Measures◦ Renewable energy (tidal/sun/wind/hydro)◦ Sustainable agriculture◦ Taxation (tourism, water)◦ Clean energy transport◦ Recycling (Re-use / Reduce)◦ Local products (slow food)

Detailed measure◦ Sustainable Ecotourism

Sustainable Development

Develop ecotourism Grazalema natural park &

upstream part of the Guadalete river

Utilizing resources that already exist in the area (accommodation, services, hiking trails)

Connecting and coordinating areas of interest

Hiking, Pueblos Blancas, river basin

Ecotourism in Guadalete river basin

Improving management of resources

Earning money to whole area

Money is used to develop the area ecologically

Raising awareness of the local people

Ecotourism in Guadalete river basin

Hikingtracks

Timeline Ecotourism

Existing:◦ Accommodation◦ Trails◦ Pueblos Blancos – White villages◦ tourist information◦ restaurants, shops

needed:◦ Marketing◦ Connecting and adding new trails◦ New cabins

Resources

Ecotourists pay taxes◦ Creating a foundation◦ Ecotorists are asked to pay €5,- extra for a night◦ Small part of the price for food and drinks goes to

foundatiom Subcidices from EU

◦ UNESCCO protected Area◦ Making hiking trails

Local Company’s◦ Invest in hotels / cabins

Measures• Risk&Emergency Management Plan• Spatial Development Plan• Cooperation Stakeholders, Region and Countries

Detailed Measure• Anti-Corruption Plan

Good Management

Transparency International Ranking • Rank: 30/174• Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Score: 65/100

Main Aim• To increase the Transparency International Ranking to

25 before 2030

Action of Corruption• Between privates companies/individuals and public local

administrators• All actions connected to bad public management , waste

public money or public activities in general

Anti-Corruption Plan

Analysis and Assesment• will be made by an independent audit

Hard Measures Plan• Improvement of controls and regulations• Improvement of police forces by financing and adopting

modern methods of economical investigation

Soft Measures Plan• Preventative measures • Association and meeting• Communication system• Local Certification Authority• Special rewards and/or low taxation

Detailed Measures

Communication System• composed by a free phone number and a website that people

can use in order to give anonymous denouncement; these information have to be collected in order to be statistically analysed and then could be used for further detailed investigation

Local Certification Authority• will guarantee the “good name” of private companies through

clear and modern method of certification and at the same time will control local administrations

Special rewards or low taxation• will be given to companies/individual that will prove their “good

name”. For those that will also prove their eco-friendly activities will be given proportional additional rewards/low taxation

Focus

Time-Table

Independent Audit Private Companies/Individuals Politicians and Local Administrations Government Media The Judiciary Police Corps Certification Authority

Who is involved in the plan?

Starting Costs• Still unknown but have to be spent by

local/national administrations

Maintenance and Management Costs• In order to develop an economically self-sustained

plan, these money can be found thanks to the plan results

Financing/1

………….HOW???

Direct Result• Corruption increses the costs of tender

assignment• Decreasing corruption means clear tender

assignment subjected only to free market laws and national/european regulamentations

• Costs of tender assignment will higly decrease and local administrations will have more money available to reinvest in the project or to allocate in other measures

Financing/2.1

Indirect Result• To find money for bribes companies need to falsify

their balance sheet hiding part of their taxable profit

• Fighting corruption means that companies profit will be clearly declared and then taxed

• As example:
