  • Criteria for identifying best practices:

We analyzed different criteria for identifying good practices used by various specialized agencies in locating and cataloging best practices. Based on this analysis, we have defined the criteria that KTC Malaga are going to use.

 
CRITERA KEY ISSUES
Innovation

Transfer capacity

Ability to serve as a guide or model to apply the experience in other areas and similar settings

  1. Has been applied this action in another area or place?
  2. Can be possible to interact with other agencies or programs?

 

To be considered a best practice, we will apply these criteria to all experience we will receive. If so, we post it in the section "Catalog of Best Practices". Other cases or experiences considered interesting, will be included in "Other cases of interest"
