Caracol (Autonomous Municipalities)

Caracol (Autonomous Municipalities) is a governance system adopted in some regions, particularly in Mexico, allowing local communities to have greater self-management and decision-making powers. This approach prioritizes local participation, granting municipalities authority over certain services and development projects, fostering regional development tailored to specific needs. It aims to promote democratic participation, reduce dependency on central governments, and enhance regional autonomy, empowering communities to effectively address their unique social, economic, and cultural contexts within a federal framework.
